RAIN HELPED OUT
Reduction In the Coat OF Sprinkline
Last Summer.

There was a hearing yesterday before
the board OF street commissioners in the
matter of the sprnking taxes incurred
during the past summer and which come
due to-day. There were but three or four
parties who appeared before the board as
cissatis fed with their assessment.
The taxes this year are considerably
less than they were last year The streets
where the assessments were five cents
have been reduced to four cents, those
that were three cents to two and one
half cents. and those that were two cents
to one and one-half cents. The reduction
is due to the large amount of rain that
has fallen during the summer The mum
Der of streets sprinkled is practically the
same as last year.
