LEVY A SPECIAL TAX.
Fort Dodge Council Takes Another
Step in Its Paving Problem.

0tGP III us GdVIHS TTOOi0T1s
Special to Times-Republican.
Fort Dodge, Nov. 23.-At the regular
meeting of the city council on Monday
evening a special tax of one mill on the
dollar was levied on all taxable prop
erty within the city limits. This spec
ial levy is made for the purpose of Gov
ering the amount Of the SO per cent re-
auctions that were made in the assess
ments on the corner lots and intersec-
tons on the south paving contract.
The ordinance on this act specifies
that all the money thus obtained, shall
be applied yearly on the bonds held
against the city by the Barber Asphalt
company, and the interest that shall
accumulate thereon. This special tax
it states shall be in effect each year
for no longer than eight years, and If
there should at the end of that time
be any moneys over and above the
amount required for the full and COM
plete settlement Of the deficit then
such shall be applied to the general
fund.
After making the so per cent re-
duction on the corner lot paving ana
intersections, as there was no surplus
paving fund in the city treasury, there
was only one way to make good the
amount deducted and the action which
distributes among the property owners
of the city the burden caused by the re-
duction, was taken at the Monday
evening meeting. 1t will mean in the
end that each property owner OF the
city will pay two-tenths Of a cent for
each dollar Of the assessed valuation OIL
his property, which is not piling up the
taxes very high, and this relieves the
strain that would otherwise fall very
,,neyenly on the people owning the cor
ner lots in the paved districts.

Webster City, Nov. 23.-"The presi-
dent. Many hearty thanks for your
hearty congratulations."-C rec.iv-
ed from President Roosevelt by Asa
Wren, Of Homer, Hamilton cour tvs
most prominent democrat and the man
who forced the "age disability" p ank
into the state democratic platform at
the convention in Iowa City last sum-
mer.
Wherl Asa Wren sat down in his
humble home In Homer the day after
election and wrote letter Of cong rat
ulations to President Roosevelt. an
other rib in the backbone of Hamilton
county democracy was broken. Not
only broken but the card received from
tho president sealed the break beyond
the power of Doctor Robie-editer of
Hamilton county's only democratic pa
pert set it. Henceforth the Tall Syc-
arnore Of Homer is 'irrevocably fixed"
In the republican column.

would begin at the top so says Mr..
Wren in speaking of his coming into
the republican fold. Mr.. Wren has al
ways f:aken a prominent part tr the
affairs Of Hamilton county democracy,
but he could not swallow Parker, and
like the bold old war horse that he is,
he carne right out for Roosevelt land
don't care who knows it, Mr.. Wren, it
will be recalled, was the charm an of
the Hamilton county delegation to
the state democratic convention held
at Iowa City. At that meeting he oom
ed up as one of democracy's real ora
tors. He it was who pushed thru that
convention declaration in favor IF the
age disability Of union soldiers. Mr..
Wren. himself. is a union soldier and
tho the democratic party has chosen
often to look askance at the boys who
wore the blue, Mr.. Wren forced them to
accept the age disability Of these men,
and the speech in which he advocated
this is said to have been one Of the
most eloquent heard in a democratic
convention in years. He came home
from this gathering Of Iowa dem ocrats
and received the congratulations of all
old soldier democrats in this part of
the state. J
After the national convention Of the
party it was noticed that Mr.. Wren's
political ardor cooled very perez ptibly.
Finally he came out boldly. Il C an not
and will not vote for Judge Plrker,"
said he to his Homer friends, and 1T
soon became noised abroad tn 1t an
other good democrat had gone right.
Mr. Wren kept his word and when he
went into the booth on election day
he voted his first ballot for a rep lblican
president.
The day after election he penned a
letter Of congratulation to President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Wren has not given out
this letter, further than to say hat he
addressed the president as my Dear
Comrade."
