Elder F. M. Rule Issues His An.
nual Report.

Three new Methodist churches have
been built at cost of $4,000 and debts
on other Methodist churches amounting
/ to nearly $4,000 have been paid in the
st. Paul district during the five years
|: which DR.. F. NJ. Rule, who has just
been appointed presiding elder of the
/. Winona district, served as presiding
elder of this district. DR.. Rule, who
will leave in few days to take up his
new duties, yesterday issued his an
nual report
DR.. Rule states that every branch of
the church work in his district has
progressed satisfactorily during the
past year. Debts on all the churches
except the Central Park and the St.
Anthony churches have been paid off,
and the debts on the two latter have
been greatly decreased. The endoW-
ment for Hamline university has been
raised, and extensive improvements
have been made on many of the
( churches. The improvements in the
district during the past year aggregate
several thousand dollars.
All the churches have shown a sub
stantial increase in membership and
the EpWorth leagues have all done &C
tive work. The other institutions of
the churches, including the Sunday
oChoolS, AOlle departments ana CraQle
Rolls, have all grown.
Among the prospective features of
the district, Elder Rule mentions that
three of the st. Paul churches are ar
ranging to sell their present structures
and build new ones in more desirable
locations. A committee has been APP
pointed to negotiate for the sale of the
Central Park M. e. church, and the
purchase of new site somewhere on
st. Anthony hill. The members are
planning to erect a handsome edifice.
The board of trustees of the Bates Az
enue and the Wesley chapels have been
authorized to sell their properties and
purchase more suitable sites for new
churches.
DR.. j. 3. Stout, the new presiding
elder of the district, was in conference
with Elder Rule yesterday and he will
carry on the work along similar lines.

CITY MAY HAVE T0PAY
Large Paving Assessment Af-
fected by Decision.

The members of the board of public
works are in a quandary as to the
status of several big paving contracts,
now that the supreme court has upheld
Judge Brill's decision that personal no.
tice is necessary before an assessment
district can be designated.
This decision affects the collection of
the assessment for the paving of Payne
avenue, Decatur street, West Seventh
street and number of other thor
oughfareS, and may result in COM
plete loss to the city.
Ordinarily, in the case of an error or
a mistake, matters can be rectified by
reassesslng, but in this case such pro-
cedure is doubtful. Some attorneys
claim sthato the property owners who
have not paid will get off scot free and
the public at large viii be compelled to
pay the bill Nearly $4,000 worth Of
paving is at stake.
The trouble resulted over an assess
ment for $22, growing out of the paving

city may have to go down in its peck
