AS early as 1868 members OF
the church settled at Canon City,
then but a small hamlet in the
beautiful valley of the Arkansas.
On June 20, 1867, the Canon City
congregation was organized in
Mcclure hall, by the Rev. B. F.
Moore, with fifteen members.
After worshiping for some time

assisted in placing the W .rk on

city. On account of age not en-
gagged in active work, he is in
terested in the welfare of the
church.

ArTearage in Taxes.
The efforts to enforce the payment Of
arrears of taxes, following the enact
ment OF appropriate legislation. says
the report. have been unusually sue
cessful, the receipts from this source
alone during the past fiscal year hav-
ing been $406, 1906. Excluding the un-
paid realty tax for 1903, the total ar
rears outstanding for the twenty-six
years from 1877 to 1902, inclusive,
amounts TO only sl37.O0s.12. and it is
fair to say that this sum represents
properties of such doubtful value as TO
make the payment of taxes very ques-
tiOnable.
The Commissioners suggest the enact
ment Of a law stating the maximum
bonus which the purchaser of property
at a tax sale can receive for surrender
OF the tax deed. for the benefit of
property owners who have innocently
allowed the payment OF taxes TO be
omitted.

agreement. the dealer not being required
either to sign a contract or to give bond

agreement. These open-narket pur-
chases have been superseded by competi-

a great saving to the District.
