AFFAIRS OF CITY.
FIGURES ON THE PAST
YEARS TAX COLLEC.
TONS.
Treasurer Needham Gives
Out Some Interesting
InformatiOn-WOrk of
Barrett Law.

CITY Treasurer w. G. Needham
announces that the tax collections
for the fall installment amounted to
$4S, ,44O. AZ during the month OF Sep
tember, October and November. The
amount collected at the first INSTALL
ment for 1900 taxes. pava lie last
spring. was &69, ,499, ,08. There is no
falling of in the second installment
as might be inferred from figures
presented, but it is always the rule
that the first installment Collections
are the largest. owing to the TACT
that many people prefer to pay their
full taxes for the year at the spring
installment. Treasurer Needham
says the collections of taxes this year
have been good and the per centage
Of delinquencies will not be as high
as usual
The amount of Improvement as
sessmsuts collected during Septem-
ber, October and November by
Treasurer Needham amounted to
81, ,2O9 SO. This part of the treas.
urer's work is the most difficult OF
all. There is a total OF 225 improve
ments OF various kind. that must be
looked after. There are perhaps D.
500 property owners concerned in
these improvements. The majority
take advantage of the Barrett law
and pay each year in semi annual IN
stallments. Thus it is necessary to
keep individual accounts. Those
property owners who pay for i'm
provements at one time are COM
paratively few. but the accounts OF
these are entirely separate from the
others.
The action of the city council the
other night in refusing to vacate
Garden avenue seems to have suited
many south end people, especially

Perished in African Wilds.

Boston. Jan. l2.-Friends Of Prof Il.
G. Garner, the famous explorer, scient-
list and author are anxious over his
possible fate in the wilds OF Africa.
Grave fears as 20 the possibility Of his
death are entertained. Among those
concerned over the professor are the
Rev. T.. L. Hale, Prof. Putnam Of Oar
ward and others.
Prof Garner sailed from New York
on or about July 49, 1900, en- route 10
Africa. His aVowed object was TO fur

interest and appreciation Of many em-
inent scholars and scientists. including
the men above mentioned were enlisted
In his object. on August 1. he arrived
In Lisbon where he remained until the
2lst, making fun preparations and gath
ering equipments for his intended eNpe-
ditIon. on August 81 Prof Garner left
Lisbon, arriving In the first week Of
September In San Thorme, In the
French Congo.
While in this place. on the eve Of his
departure for the Interior he suddenly
was stricken with Jungle fever al
though his two previous explorations TO
the same place. had In his own iudg-
ment. made him immune.
The exorhltant rates levied upon him
for transportation and the money al
ready laid out on his really inadequate
equipment, had by this time made him
almost pennless and when his funds
entirely failed his faithless hirellngs
fed. leaving him TO fight the grim spec
tire alone.
on November q he wrote urgent let
tiers 10 Messrs Hale. Putnam. Furber
and Merrill. apprlsng them OF his eN-
hausted financial and physlcal condition
and urging aid be Immediately sent To
him. These were the last messages
from him ard none OF the letters was
received until the last OF Devember.
Efforts at once were made 10 cable
money 10 him. but cable communication
could not be- had with any bank In the
vicinity OF the place from whore the let
ters had been posted. All efforts 20 To-
cate him also failed.
on last Tuesday 5. A. Merrill ~ The
Mechanics National bank was Informed
that an efforts 20 communicate with
Garner had failed Mr. Merrill then
sent a cable to San Thome In the hope
of discovering Gamers whereabouts.
