We have received a copy Of the
News Bulletin, published at Winnie
peg, Canals, winch gives a long
write up of the "Locators," a firm of
brokers who are interested in fading

Judge it is an extensive business,
- -
and in another part of the paper we
find that the concern carries a con-
siderable advertising matter. The
article contains a half tone cut Of
w. G Bennett, formerly of De Smst,
and states that be is the manager.

Heretofore it has taken several days
each month to make the collections,
which costs money, and there is no
more reason why the city should be
put to such an expense than there
would be for the county or state au-
thoritiesto go to the expense Of max
ing q personal visit to collect taxes.
The ordinance provides no penalty
for failure to make payment, but
