TOWN COUNCIL VOTES NO
CHANGE IN THE TAX RATE
IT WILL REMAIN THIRTY CENTS ON THP
HUNDRED DOLLARS, REAL ESTATE
Appeal Made from the Assessment of Assesso.
j. Z. Carter Acted upon by Council and
but Sl7OO will be Taken from Total

At the regular semi-monthlv session
OF the Smyrna Town Council last Fri
day evening, the appeals from the
assessment recently made bv Assessor
}. Z. Carter were heard and the Conn.
ell by unanimous consent fixed tho
Taxrate for the coming year, the same
as 1t had been in the past; viz: 30 cents
on the hundred dollars, real. and a oo
poll The total assessment for tbe
coming year amounts in full to abont
Sl,Oo3, 400. The Council feels assnrod
that they can get through the eoming
year with the tax rate REMAINING tho
same. A few weeks ago it was thought
the town would have to 90 to the ex-
pense OF putting in more boiler canoc.
ity. but since the employment of Con.
suItlng Engineer Hatton, it has do
yelopeG that the present boiler capacitv
is sufficient and that by some changes
the coal consumption may be rednced

Refused to Establish a Precedent

All the members of the Council waro
present Friday evening except DR.
Moore, and just after the session was
called to order, Mr.. Fl. Linwood Phil
ups was allowed the privilege Of the
moor, and he appealed from the assess
ment on his corner property which he
lnought was too high. The property
IS assessed at $500; only $500 less
than the Raymond Block directly
opposite. Mr.. Phillips failed to pnt
his claim before the Court of Appeals
on appeal day. After DISCUSSING the
matter, the Council concluded that tbev
could not make a precedent in this
case. They claim that Mr.. Phillips
nad the same opportunity that everv-
body else had, and his failure to an
pear at the proper place and at the
proper time was his own lookout.
The following bills were read and
allowed: p. w. & b. Railroad
Sl4O.02; Charles Warner Companv
s08.2S; F. H. Stewart & Co., $780, o4:
Kumsey Electric Company, 800. 90.
James A. Griffith, $40. 90; Total S418 90

A Coroner's jury, at Seattle. Tues
day, declared that Mrs. Collins had
been murdered by strangulation. The
woman's body was found Sunday in a
shed at Goth and Main streets by q
group of children playing near the
place. Finger marks about the wo-
mans neck and other evidence shows
that the woman had been murdered.
Robbery is believed to have been the
motive OF the crime, as purse contain
ing q sum of money which she usually
carried is missing. The robbers,
though, missed sos which was sewed
in the woman's dress.
Seattle is pretty tough place. The
city is full Of thugs and it is unsafe for
people to venture out on the streets
after dark. Not q day passes but
somebody is knocked in the head and
robbed, and il the party assaulted has

severe beating. It was only few
days ago that an old lady was on her
way down town to buy some meat on
credit, when che was accosted by a
thug who demanded her money. She
replied that she had none. Believing
the old lady was not telling the truth
search was made, and finding moth.
