SMUGGLERS' EASY GRAFT
TWO GERMANS SELL CHEAP COT
TON GOODS, REPRESENTING
THEM AS FINE SMUGGLED
WOOLENS.

Another swindle tending to show
that Minneapolis people are easy prey
for ICON" men, has been brought to
the attention Of the police. The swim
dlers are two Germans, who speak
English with pronounced accent, and
who openly assert that they are sue
cessful smugglers of fine woolen goods.
They have been visiting the homes
of business and professional men, Of
fering "a large stock of the finest
woolens, that cannot be purchased at
the stores for less than SIS a yard"
These goods they offer to sell at the
nominal price of 81 a yard, and in
addition will send capable tailor to
the house to make UP the suits for
half Of the customary rate. The pat
terms are new and stylish, and to the
ordinary purchaser appear to be worth
the money.
One man in the eighth ward bought
enough cloth to make five spring and
summer suits. The expert German
tailor failed to appear, and he took his
cloth to his own tailor, who refused to
make it up, saying that it was the
cheapest kind Of material and could
be purchased at any department store
for SO cents a yard.

APPLY THEM ON TAXES
ALDERMAN FRED NJ. POWERS
HAS ANOTHER PLAN FOR GET
TING REBATES BACK TO TAX
PAYERS I.

Alderman Fred M. Powers intends
at the council meeting Friday evening
to introduce a resolution which will
make it possible to have rebates on
sewer assessments apply on current
taxes. Since the decision in the Pills
bury case which laid down the law
that the city could assess only the actu-
al cost of special improvements, the
revolving fund has, been badly mud
died and the various efforts Of the al
dermen have not simplified matters
to any extent.
There is a big batch Of rebates due
on the sewer taxes of 1900 and 1901.
A futile attempt was made to have
these rebates credited to the proper
taxpayers on the auditors books. Now
Alderman Powers proposes that tax
payers to whom these rebates are due
be given engineers certificates which
they can turn into the county treas
urer as part payment Of their taxes for
the current year.
The proposed plan has been tried
before in the case of the sewer taxes of
1898 and 1899. 1t will save to the tax
payers the commissions which will
otherwise go to rebate collectors.
