Council wrestling with the Problem OF
Next Years Tax Rate.
The finance committee Of City Coun-
Gil is sill wrestling with the problem
of next years tax rate, not having
arrived at "a definite conclusion. The
committee hopes to keep it down TO
the present figure, SL50 on the 500,
but Chairman White said this morn
ing that he could not make any definite
prediction. At the request of the
committee, City Auditor Spence is
counting up the back taxes and every
thing has been counted up to the year
1903, and until the latter year is com
pleted nothing definite can be decided
as to the city's assets on this line.
Water bonds amounting to $40, 600
will mature during the coming fiscal
year Council will have to make pro-
vision for them without any help from
the Water Department, as that depart
ment has informed Council that it
will have no surplus this year. The
department has given Council enough
surplus in past years to pay off all the
water bonds, but much of the money
was applied in other directions.
The appropriation list for the
ensuing year has not been completed,
although it is known what each de-
partment will require, and it is not
likely that the appropriation ordinance
will come up for consideration at to-
nights meeting.

At the end of March OF during the

in the Outer Hebrides collect in one
place before their departure for their

Circle.
To estimate their numbers is impos-
sible, says the London Mail, and to
behold this vast concourse of geese IS
one OF the sights Of a lifetime. The
vast host of birds stands packed to-
gether in a huge phalanx till the king
of the gray-leg starts the flight. As
the leader ascends 100, 600 voices salute
him, but none stirs till from over
head he gives the call for his subjects
to follow him.
Some so birds rise in the air and
follow him, and as they go gradually
assume the wedgelike formation, with
three single birds in a string at the
apex Of the triangle, and in few
minutes are out Of sight When they
have beea fairly started the king re-
