 Dog stealing is getting to be all the rage in this part of- the town and if it is continued much longer some body will find himself in a peck of l trouble. Last night an officer was running around accompanied by the owner of q pet that had been stolen but diligent hunt failed to locate the pet and the man had to return home without it. It is said that during the past month a dozen valu- able Scotch terriers and four or five collies have disappeared and the own CTS would give q good deal to know where they are.
 Property owners on Ben Mohr who have received notice to come for ward and pay the amounts assessed against them as benefits arising from the layout and grade of streets in that district wonder what the city fathers mean, anyway, and claim that they will not settle until the work is done. Tn this they are within the law, but if they have the ready cash 1t would be better to pay before liens are placed on their property. The city cannot collect the money until it does the work, but to be in position to get hold of the cash at the proper hnC AaN 1fnA r>~1 erty. It costs something to get this released after the bill is paid and be- sides while it is there none of the banks will loan you anything on the l property, so that really if man could afford it the best thing he could do would be to walk right up to the cap, l tain's office and plank down the dust as soon as he gets a reminder from 1 the city clerk that he owes the munici. l pality. It is not likely that the city 1 will establish building lines on the streets in question. Such a thing could be done without infiicting a hardship upon anyone except the own- CTS of corner lots. where between a building and the requirements of the building ordinance enough space would not be left for house. The only way this could be overcome would be to have every owner of a corner lot buy the adjoining lot, but this is some thing 1t would be hard to arrange for, and the city will be apt to take the easiest way out of 1t by letting people do as they please regarding building out to the street.
