NOTICES TO PROTEST THE TAX
objection to Assessment Plan 90 Pay
for Beniis Pnrk-RemonstrRnce
to Addition by Board.

Notice that protests will be made against
the proposed assessment plan to raise
1882 taxes to pay for the property to be
acquired on the southeast corner OF Bemls
park and the latter's enlargement was
made to the special city board Of equaliza-
tion Monday morning.
The district to be taxed. az proposed by
the plan, takes in only territory between
Thirty-thrd and Thirty-eighth streets and
from Cunning to Hamilton streets. FRO
testants declare the district should be
extended to Fortieth street on the west
Twenty-eighth street on the east and rea-
sonable distances in other directions
Another protest 20 the plan comes from
E. T. Gurske, owner of lot D, biock =
loves Second addition, who wants the
whole matter knocked out and the prop
erty not bought. He says that being on
the corner of two streets, each having
street car lines, the expansion Is not
suited TO park purposes, but his complaint
is based upon the weight of the tax ana
he declares that property owners have all
the burdens they can bear at the present
time without adding new ones. The as
sessment against his lot is Sl25.
The persons who object TO the small as
sessment district are the very ones VINO
induced the council to make the con-
demnation, stating that they were ready
and willing to foot the bills. They are
residents Of Bemis Park and did not like
the kind of structures on the ground 1t Is
proposed to take in
Upon the advice of City Attorney Breen

morning of July 4, but will put all mat

when it will hear arguments and decide

PRISONERS FOR STONE YARD
Inmates of City Jail, Nicholson In
sIsts, Could he Probably
Employed Thus.

Councilman Nicholson again is advocating
the establishment of a city stone yard In
which the labor of the city prisoners would
be used.
"A lot of broken stone and concrete will
be needed in the operation OF the municipal
asphalt plant" says Nicholson, ''and l
think 1t would be economical for the city
to break its own rock and let the prisoners
do II. At present city prisoners are a dead
loss to the taxpayers and do nothing, ex-
cept TO cut weeds occasionally. I believe
we could save money all around by letting
them help out on the asphalt plant and l
think / shall try to get my proposition au-
thorized and put in force"
Two years ago the councilman from the
Fourth lost out in trying to establish city
stone yard.

FIRECRACKER IN MANS HAT
Explosive is Dropped in by Boy
and Goes on with
Dispatch.

A travelling man, evidently a stranger in
the city, was standing at the corner Of
Harvey and Sixteenth streets at noon
Monday waiting for a car to the depots.
He had set down his grip and was holding
his hat out in a beseeching sort, of way
with one hand while hopping his brow
with the other. A young hoodlum pass
ing ct the moment had just lighted a
noisy firecracker and he dropped II into the
strangers hat. The firecracker had no
sooner settled itself in the hat than It
went off, and the stranger dropped the
hat and his handkerchief and involuntarily
gave the hat a kick. In the meanwhile
the car he was waiting for had passed on
and the boy hilSed down Sixteenth street
The stranger just laughed a little and
waited for the next car.
