A meeting of the cab drivers of the
city was held at the Office of George
G. Sheldon, Saturday evening, to con-
slider what action should be taken in
regard to the license fee. The cab
drivers claim that the fee is higher here
than in any other city in the State, the
prevailing price elsewhere, being 81,
while here it is So. They say that if a
high fee is charged it ought to be large
enough to restrict the number of public
carriages to a very few. If not it should
be as small as in other cities of the
State. A few of the drivers and owners
have taken out licenses already but at
least two-thirds of those who were Ii
censed last year, have failed to COM
ply with the ordinance. At the last
meeting of the city government a petit
ton was presented signed by nearly all
the drivers asking that the fee be re-
duced from So to 81. In the regular
routine of business this went TO the
committee on revised ordinances where
it remains at the present time. and I'M
less a special meeting is called it will
remain there until the second Thurs
day in May. The fees for licenses are
due April 1, and the drivers have been
Informed that they must pay before
April 10. 1t was agreed at the meeting.
Saturday evening, to stand together
and not pay the license fee until the
matter had been considered by the city
government

"DON'T PUBLISH"
Warning Frequently Seen on Deeds
in County Register.
The Journal Doesn't Notice Request
but Prints True Record.

Don't publish"
This warning note is frequently
found penciled at the top of a deed on
file in the Office of the register of deeds
at the court house.
What does it mean?" is the ques-
ton asked by the novice, as he glances
answer is given by lawyer, as fol-
lows:
Il suppose the person interested in
that deed had that note written there
so that a record of the transfer would
not get into the newspapers. Probably
he thought that if the news of the
transaction was not published the tax
assessors would not know of it, and he
would escape taxation on the property.
But that is where he gets fooled. The
assessors do not hunt through the COL
umns of the newspapers for their in
formation about sales of real estate
They go to headquarters, the registry
of deeds, and nothing calls their at
tention to a transfer of property sc
quickly as the finding of the words
don't publish penciled on the deed.
"EIvery~little while some one of the
assessors of the various towns in the
county and representatives from the
mercantile agencies visit the registry
of deeds and look over all the papers
on file there. The mercantile agencies
care only fer transactions that concern
business men who have a rating in the
mercantile reports. The assessors pay
particular attention to warranty and
quit-claim deeds. The person who
writes don't publish above his deed
title is simply placing red light ir
front OF the vigilant assessors, calling
attention to his purchase"
For a long time the Journal has fol-
lowed the custom of printing weekly
reports of real estate transfers. Some
of the Oblging representatives of this
paper got into the habit of complying
with the request contained in the above
quoted words penciled on the margin
of deeds, and omitted to publish trans
fers so marked. AS time wore on these
requests became more and more
numerous until finally they sometime:
exceeded one-half of the whole mum.
Der Of recorded transfers. The Jour.
nal editors investigated and discovered
that in one week out of Is transfers re.
corded 10 were marked Don't publish
1t was then determined that there
should be no Partially shown, but that
in justice to the patrons of this paper
true and accurate record of all trans
fers recorded in the county should bt
printed each week. This rule has beer
adhered to for several months and viii
continue to be followed in the future.

Hard wood is scarce and high in Au-
custa markets. Good quality brings
$50 cord. There is but little first
class hard wood left standing within
five miles of the city, all the available
lots having been cleared long ago. For
this reason the price is high, the eX-
pense of hauling from a long distance
being the cause of jumping up the re-
tail cost to the figures above quoted.

Last fall Roscoe Penney and Charles
Leighton began cutting timber in the
territory back of Hallowell known as
the Manchester bog. The heavy snow
in November gave them about week
or two good hauling, but the result is
that, although they cut close to 100000
feet of pine and hemlock timber they
haye gotten out less than 10000 feet
The balance must stay until another
winter. They also cut about 800 feet
of cord wood.
