A COMMUNICATION.

NEW IUtIId, Id. ApliI I-Cii, Iooo
To the Citizens of the Parish of
Iberia;
In the reply of MrFrere, Assessor,
and Mr.. Leblanc, Clerk of Court,
to the circular letter of DR.. Fred
erick Duperier in reference to the
certificate of filing of an Assess
ment Roll for the year 1899, they
have seen proper to place all the
blame upon me for the absence of
the roll which should be on file in
the office of the Clerk Of Court and
in justice to myself am COMPEL
ed to make this statement.
The Police Jury at it regular
meeting IN November appointed a
committee composed of Messrs
Patout and Broussard, to examine
and accept the rolls for the parish.
The committee met and after eX
amining the rolls now in the office
of the Tax Collector, accept it and
instructed us to proceed with the
collection of taxes as shown on the
roll that they had examined, place
ing the roll in our possession.
| certified on the book for the
Auditor and on the one in the Office
that true and correct copy was
filed in this office on the 18th day
of November 1899 and [ can tes-
tify of my own knowledge that
the third book in question was
placed in the vault Of public re
cords i'm the office of the Clerk of
Court and remained there for
some time.
OF an agreement between Mr..
Frere and the Clerk of Court to
call the one in the office of the
Collector since the 18th Of last
November, a copy designate for the
Clerk of Court, not one word was
to me at the time and it only came
to my knowledge in reading the
circular Of the Assessor and Clerk,
and if Mr.. Leblanc certified to the
filing of the roll we now have in his
office we certainly certified to the fill
ing Of the some roll in this office.
We have had this book without dis
pute for fivemonths and without in
timation that it did not belong to
this office. Mr.. Leblanc has failed
according to DR.. Duperier to show
the book he certified was in his
Office.
Mr.. Frere has said to me that the
circular was in error in stating
that he made contract with me
at the time we received the roll tt
make a copy for the Clerks office
About the 1st of March OF thu
| year Mr.. Frere asked the PR
vilege of using the roll in TIL
| Collectors Office to complete TIL
onefor Mr.. Leblanc, and Mr.. Cad'
consented to the use at such tim
as would not interfere with TIL
collection of taxes. | agreed t
assist him and to make a part 0
the roll but after a few days toll
him that / could not do it withOu
neglecting my other work an
that he would have TO get som

placed upon me in their letter.

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE AMENDS
49, MANHATTAN oRDINYNGE. vfrf

The assembly committee on streets held
another meeting yesterday afternoon for
the purpose Of considering the ordinance
granting to the Manhattan Light and
Power company a franchise to extend its
plant poles and conduits on the public
streets. The committee had requested at
its last meeting that the representatives
of the Edison and Manhattan companies
remain away from the meeting, but At
torney Phillips and A. w. Zahm, repre-
senting the Manhattan company, were
very plainly in evidence Chairman AL
brecht said he was busy with the new
charter, and could not possibly remain
during the meeting. Assemblyman
Thompson sent word that he was obliged
to go to Minneapolis ON business, and
the assemblyman did not show up. Messrs
Kirke, Nelson, Denny and Benson, how
ever, decided to go ahead, and the amend
ment of Attorney Phillips, which was de-
feated at the last session of the commit
tee, was taken up and ordered inserted
in the ordinance. The amendment pro-
vides that the Manhattan company shall
pay gross earnings tax, no amount
mentioned, annually whenever the other
companies doing the same kind of busi-
ness shall begin to pay the same.
Another amendment, proposed by Mr..
Benson, was to the effect that the city
should be granted rights on the poles
| erected by the company under the ordi-
nance. These amendments were ordered
sent with the ordinance to the corpora
ton attorney with instructions to redraft
| the measure with them included.
The committee then adjourned to the
clerks Office, where call was issued
| for a special meeting of the assembly to
be held this evening.

FOR THE RURAL SCHOOLS
THEREe is MUCH OF INTEREST IN
EEWTS' ANNUAL.

The adYanGe sheets of the eleventh BIZ
ennial REPORT Of the department Of public
instruction, Compiled by State Superin-
tendent Lewis, shows a number of inter-
esting articles on rural school architec-
ture, art. in, the school room, improve
ment of school grounds and Arbor and
Bird day manual.
Foremost in the part of the report given
to rural school architecture is a number
of valuable suggestions upon the con-
struction Of country school houses, with
plans for a model one-room school
house and also plans and specifications
for a o1Ie-room log school house, pre-
pared by Charles r. AIdrfch, of Minne-
apolis.

gestions for fits observation in the schools.
Several model programmes are outlined,
and list of readings appropriate to the
days also Included. Mrs. A. B. Whit

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY.
GOV. LIND SO DESIGN ATEs FRIDAY,
APRIL 20.

Gov. John Lind yesterday issued a
proclamation naming Friday, April 90 as
Arbor and Bird day. The proclamation
is as follows; 49,
THE work of building our great COM
monwealth, of which We are so justly
proud has been facilitated inyeno small
degree by the riches of our forests They
have furnished the material for the
homes of our people, employment for
their industry, and an abundant return
for their capital and labor. But we have
felled more than we have planted. We
have used more than we have provided.
1t is apparent to all that the time for
outstanding this, as we do our other
great resources has arrived. We can
not restore the, foFestsy nor. shade and
shelter the prairies at1once; but we can
make a beginning. We will never have
intelligent forestry until we have an in
telfigent appreciation of the beauty and
value of trees To insure this, We
must begin at the homes, in the schools
and with the children. And now that
spring has come, throbbing with life and
promise, o.lr people can, and 1 trust will
make this beginning by planting trees
and shrubbery to shade and beautify our
homes, our public grounds and our high
ways. 1 appeal especially to the teachers
of the state and to the pupils In our
schools to take up this work, and to in
sure its continuance as patriotic duty"

NINE SMALLPOX CASES
TAKEN IN CHARGE BY HEALTH
DEPARTMENT YESTERDAY.

Nine patients suffering from smallpox
were taken to the pest house yesterday
by the health department. Seven were
from one locality and two from another
Anna Frederickson, who arrived from
Norway three weeks ago, on her arrival
at st. Paul made her home with Herman
Hanson. at 1895 Dawson street. When
she was taken sick, and broke out with
a rash, little attention was paid by the
family to her illness. Other members
of the family were affected with the same
sickness, and Christ Swenson. living at
1860 Dawson street, offered his services
to care for some of the members. Sven
son was ken SICK too. and then there
was an investigation with the result that
-the Hanson family, Miss Ffederickson
and Swenson Were taken to the Dale
street infirmary. The patients removed
to the hospital were Herman Hanson and
his wife and three children; Anna Fred
erickson and Christ Swenson

PAVING WORK DELAYED
GAS COMPANY WANTS A LARGER
MAIN IN HARRINGTON AVENUE.

The contract awarded to the Barber
Asphalt Paving company for paving with
asphalt Harrington avenue from Summit
to Nelson avenues is likely to be delayed
In its completion. The st. Paul Gas COM
pany has notified the city engineer that
it desires to substitute a larger main on
the street, and the paving work cannot
go ahead until this is done. ]. B. Rob-
bins, formerly manager for the Warren
Scharff company, has transferred his
services to the Barber company, and the
men who have been laying asphalt for
the same company will do the work for
the Barber company. under the three
contracts which have been let to 1t. The
paving blocks are being taken up along
Harrington avenue.
The wooden pavement was laid in 1888
at cost Of $10,S55, and the asphalt pave
ment with a ten-year guarantee, which
is to be put down. will cost $lO,092

Tor the erection of building to be the

MI. Vanish said the committee has can
vassed all the available property very
thoroughly, and would have its ideas well
dehned III recommendations within the
period named.N He suggested paying $15,-
00O for a dot, f$20, 900 for a building to be
paid for sby a. bond Issue.
The idea of the association. as expressed
at the meeting, was to secure some hall
where the association would have ac-
commodatons similar to those formerly
occupied in the market house.
Secretary Whellams read his annual re-
port, which, recorded some excellent work
done in quiet way among the manu-
facturers. The treasurer's report show
ed a balance of $262 20.
The following officers were elected:

dent, w. R. Dorr; second vice president,

The following new members joined the
association: Baker, Cementico company
Sharood & Crroks, White Enamel Re-
frigerator company and St. Paul Show
case company.
The suggestion was made that the as
sociation could perhaps secure space over
Lennon & Gibbons store. In the library
building, as the library proper would be
situated in the. other half of the build
ing. All We're agreed that suitable quar-
ters should be secured as speedily as pos
sible, but the plan involving considerable
outlay of money could not materialize in
day.. No action was taken pending the

JUSTICE CANTY'S QUEST
HE is INQULRING INTO THE PHIL
IPPINE HEMP SUPPLY,

Gov. Lind, when seen yesterday by the
G o b e. confirmed the statement that has
been abroad for some time, that Judge
Thomas Canty, of Minneapolis, is now in
the Philippines as the special agent of
the state board of prison managers, with
view to contracting for manila and
sisal for the prison twine plant
Further, however, the governor would
say little. Judge Canty, soon after retiring
from the supreme bench, left for the Phil
ippines. His expenses are to be paid by
the prison board, but his services are
rendered gratis.
1t is not likely that any twine will be
brought from the Philippines until next
season, even IL the board decides, after
giving Judge Canty's report careful Pc
rusal, to buy twine direct from our new
possessions 1t is quite late In the sea-
son. and from now on nothing but sisal
twtne will be made at the prison.
The statement has been made that 1 LOCO
bales of hemp could be bought in Manila
and laid down at Saltwater for 11%
cents per pound, or less by cents than
the New York quotation. Gen. Reeve. in
an interview, state that many grades Of
good hemp are quoted in the New York
market at a variety of prices so that it
would be difficult until full investiga-
{ ton was made to determine if 2acents
could be saved per pound by buying di-
rect and at the same time secure a good
quality of the raw material
Gen. Reeve says that one important
thing to be considered Is the amount of
| money that will be required to carry out
that plan. The cost of hemp or sisal for
the years product of the prison twfne
plant is In the neighborhood of $4,000. 900.
1t requires about two months to bring
cargo from the Philippines to Still
water.
James J. Hill, of the Great Northern
railroad. is giving the prison authorities
the benefit at his suggestions on this sub
ject, and more especially as to the ship
ping facilities that would enable hemp
to be shipped quicker and cheaper by way
Of the Pacific than the Atlantic

NOT AFTER SALE STARTS
PROPERTY BEFORE OR
BUY
COUNTY TO GET THE MONEY
No Refundment to he Efade to Rec
ord Owner, No Matter How
Much the Property
Sells Fer.


The forfeited tax sale which will be
held next month to clear up the tax rolls
of every county in the state of taxes de-
linquent prior to 1886 is attracting a great
deal of attention and generally resulting
in the taxes being paid Mr.. Dunn has
t thrown such safeguards as are possible
around the sale in letter of instructions
Issued to county auditors, in which he
states that all money over and above
the amount Of tax and penalty collected
| from the sale of each piece shall revert
to the county. This, for instance, pre-
vents any one from outbidding everyone
else on the sale of his own property and
then securing refund of the differences
between the amount bid and the actual
| amount charged against the property
The law is hardly specific on this point,
but the state auditor has ruled that all
in excess Of the delinquency shall be
turned into the county revenue fund
About $4,000 tracts in Ramsey county
will be disposed of at this sale.
The following is the state auditors cir
cular:
To County Auditors:
lew suggestions on the forfeited tax
sale Parties wishing to redeem their
property from the sale should~be permit
TED TO DO so up to the precise time when
tract IS taken up and offered for SALE
put not thereafter. Under no circum-
stances allow redemption to be made after
bidding has commenced.
should any tract sell for more than
the original taxes with 10 per cent interest
and costs, of this SALE as shown by your
llst, the excess or surplus should be cred
lted TO the county revenue fund. In no
event should the excess be paid over to
the original owner of the real estate
state lands held under contract with
the state (school, university, internal inn
proVement lands, etc), upon your forfeit
ed 5ist' should be sold the same as other
lands. purchasers of such lands, how
ever, only acquire a tax title which al
lows them to be substituted to the rights
held by the original purchaser of the
land. See section 1882 of the Statutes of
1884 By paying up in full all delinquent
this office -
Purchasers at-this forfeited sale should
make immediate payment to your treas
urer: All tracts not paid for should be
feOHered before you adjourn the sale
The making of the certifcate is Terv
important. Section 3, chapter 322 Laws
OF 1S99 contains the form which must be
followed; 1t would be preferable to in
clude only one description, as advertised
in each certificate The law, however,
permits more than one description in q
certificate when sold to the same pur-
chaser. But when that is done the certif-
lcate should show the exact amount for
which each tract was sold Read care
