 w. D. Conser has been travelling on crutches this week, and no doubt will have to use them for some time. About
 
 felt sharp pains in his right foot, which sweled and got quite stiff He thought it was rheumatism at the time, so hay ing to go to Phoenix he called on a doc tor there, as the foot got no better. It was then discovered that one of the bones in his foot was broken, and he had the foot put in plaster cast. Mir.

 The question of right of way on Im- perial Avenue is being raised by Schmidt Schirm and Bruschi who own the north half of section nineteen in this town, just south of the business section. These parties own land on both sides of imperial Avenue and have never given a deed for d road over their lands. This week they began erecting a fence across the Avenue at their north line and have the post holes dug. City Attorney Shaw, however, has got operations suspended while the matter is taken up with the owners of the land. The deeding of rights of way has been very seriously neglected by the landowners in the Valley and such oversight as this will cause lots of trouble unless such matters are attem- ded tC promptly and on time.

The assessment made by Assessor Dyke has been raised in some cases along Imperial Avenue and Eighth streets but has been permitted to stand in the outside residence parts of the town. Tine result will be that the receipts from taxes will not produce sufficient funds so that the occupation tax can be done away with, and business will continue to be taxed as in the past. The Trustees expect to supply the town with good fire department, and to take care of the streets, both of which will be of great benefit to the town.
