ings or making similar improvements.
The present rate OF levy In Akronis IA
mills. At first sight the impression
might be given that the 10 mill levy
Of the new law means reduction
in the amount Of taxes. Such Is not
the case. The shortage In the general
duplicate win be cared for by special
assessments. 1t will have been seen
that there are many provisions made
for the obtaining of revenue. Council
is given power to increase the general
levy at any time provided such an
act may be authorized by two-thirds
vote of the people.
A Board of Tax Commissioners, to
serve without pay, will be appointed
by the Mayor to examine all records
in connection with the levying and
collection Of taxes. This Board will
also be required to pay particular at
tention to the Sinking fund.
Assessments for special improve
ments will be levied in the same man
ner as at present. Improvement bonds
will be sold in the same way, too.
The bill, as is known by nearly
everybody. has nothing to do with the
regulation Of schools, beyond diminish
ing the number Of members of the
Board of Education by reducing the
number Of wards in the city. Akron's
Board Of Education will have IA, In
stead Of 16 members.
Under the new code, the City Clerk,
or Auditor. will not act as Clerk Of
Council. On its organization night
Council will elect a clerk whose duty
will be to keep a record of the doings
of Council. be present at each meet
ing, call the rolls, read the ordinances
ETC., and make himself generally use
full. s
Another provision is that all this
other officers and directors of the city
will be obliged to furnish the Mayor
any information desired by him rela
tive to the condition of affairs in thell
departments. Before the last Mon
day in March. the various heads o
departments must submit to tn,
Mayor estimates of amounts of none,
needed for their departments for tn
ensuing year. These estimates are t,
be worked into an annual budget I,
be submitted by the Mayor to Coun
ell. showing how much money will b
needed during the ensuing year to rul
the city. In the making OF this an
: nnsl budget, the Mayor will have th
power to revise and change any an
all items in estimates furnished b
other officers, but he will not have tn
power to increase the total of an
: of the estimates. Council may revis
: the annual budget of the Mayor, bu
will not have power to increase an
of its estimates
: The code bill is a long document
filling 125 pages and containing 3.19
lines. Its constitutionality was teste
! at Cincinnati few weeks ago. an
the court declared 1t a legal measur,
in every way.

ing about 10000. Carloads OF lumber
are now on the way to build new dry
ing sheds, and several new kilns will be

The company has bought a half-sec-
ton Of timber land In Northern Mime

sire TO do so will go to this and n
cut cord-wood during the winter for use
the next summer. The company will
use about 1000 cords OF wood next sea-
son, which will be cut on its own land.
The clay has been analysed by ex-
perts and pronoun ED equal to any IN
the country for brick making, n to
be superior to most clays now used for
hat purpose in the Northwest.

cended the Candara river, in h Island

Three hundred insurgents with l3l
rifles are expected to arrive at Catbalo-
gar, Samar. to-day to surrender form
ally to the American authorities.
Three thousand bolomen, % of them

day at Sulat, all in Samar.
Guevarra succeeded Gen. Lukban to
the command of the insurgent forces
in Samar, when the latter was captured
last February. He announced his in
tention to surrender last March.
Ends the IDsurrection.
This practically ends the insurrection
in the archipelago, a result which is
due to Gen. Chaffee's energy, consistent
justice and severe and unrelenting
prosecution of those who opposed
American sovereignty. The only fact
in the military situation that causes
any apprehension now is the unfortu-
nate Moro affair in the Island Of Min
danao, but 1t is believed this can be
settled without fun Their bloodshed. Eff
forts In this direction will be made by
Gen. Chaffee.

The Crop Prospect Never Better in
the Hills Country.
The indications are considered good
for a big crop in the valleys skirting
the Black Hills this summer The soil
contains more moisture than II has be-
fore for fifteen years, and yet II Is in
excellent condition for working. Near
ly all OF the spring seeding has been
done, and In many instances vegetables
are being planted. Fall-sown seeo has
attained a good growth, and the grass
on the meadows will make fair feed in
two weeks. The gardeners have their
early beds fairly under way, and the
prospects point to homegrown vegeta-
bles earlier than ever before.
Many of the farmers in the Spearfsh
valley and on the Centennial and Red
water have fed large numbers of cattle
during the winter. These rave been
turned out and started for the sum-
mer ranges, in better flesh than when
they went into winter quarters. There
Is a large amoun Of feed left over for
