ZOE ne cITY BEAUTIFUL.

THE civic committee OF the Board of Trade,
+ which is working for Wilmington Beau
tiful, is getting down to business at once and
promises to be a useful adjunct to Wilmington
AT the meeting last evening number of topics
were considered which will so towards making
Wilmington more beautiful All the suggestions
FIRST made by the civic committee are admirable.
One OF the recommendations for uniform side
walks is especially good if it can be carried into
effect, which is doubtful
Not only in Wilmington, but in many other
cities of similar size, the city beautiful idea is
being worked out. York, Pa, has a committee
which is arousng public interest in order that
York shall be made more beautiful. This COM
mttee is especially delighted because of the fact
that York is to have a sewerage system. 1t is
surprising that-a city of the size and importance
OF York has been without what has come to be
considered a necessity. In most of the towns
where the city beautiful notion is making head
way the women clubs are taking most impor-
tant part In fact, the women are appealed to
TO stir up their husbands and brothers for the
movement. Here in Wilmington, with men and
women both working in harmony for the idea,
and with such support, it certainly ought to sue

good record in gathering in the taxes for the year
1902 The error list, which is less than $4,000 is
the smallest in years. The collection Of such
huge sum Of taxes as that represented on the
books of one Of the city collectors, is a difficult

Inequalities of assessments of property are un-
Just There is no defence for them. If one mans
property is not assessed correctly and he avoids
paving fair share of taxes, it means that his
neghbor must pay more. Property, no matter
by whom owned, should be assessed fairly.

The Great Snow Storm.

The great snow storm of January.
1905 which was charged at the time
to the account of Medicine Hat, is
proving the most remarkable storm on
record, and mighty expensive to the
City of Chicago. 1t will 90 down in
history as the most protraeted snow
storm in any latitude, as tile eity's
emergency payrolls" bear witness. To
clear up the streets then about l,lOO
men were set at work with shovels
and most of them have, by the records
been shoyeling ever since--some OF
them are still at it. Each month the
emergency" payrolls were approved
during ex.Mayor DUNES regime, and
only recently part of the snow-crew
was laid off. In the meantime the
shovelers pegged away steadily, il
appears, whether at the drifts of the
dogdays or at labor day snow banks
and now a new onslaught of winter
has come. Again the cry is heard
l"A blizzard from Medicine Hat is
responsible for this" and the thread
bare tradition, as veracious as the
I"emergeney payrolls," is tried out again
As matter of fact Medicine Hat is

he viii have completed a seven-year
passionate at the Westminster church.
He is chairman of the evangelistic
committee of the Pittsburgh presby
terry, and is member of the council
of 81 of the Presbyterian brother
hood. He is, also a member of the
Blue Monday club, which will give him
a farewell dinner before he leaves to
take his new passionate about the mid
die of January.
The Mankato charge is the largest
one in the Mankato presbytery, and
one of the most important in the
snyod of Minnesota. Although Mr..
Paden is accepting new pastorate
he will not be entering a strange field
as his first ministerial work was in
that state. For nine years he held
pastorate in the snyod of Minnesota
! five of the years being spent in the
Mankato presbytery to which he is now
returning.
Rev. Paden will be given warm
welcome to Mankato.

One of greater Pittsburgh's most pop
ular pastors, Rev. DIR. T. Ross Paden,
|of the Westminster Presbyterian
church. Allegheny, has received UNI
animous call to the First Presbyter-

DIR. Paden has been pastor of the
Westminster Presbyterian church. Ale
gheny, for the past seven years and
has done excellent work. Aside from
being one of the most difficult down
town fields in the city, the church
was burdened with debt of $4,000
when DIR. Paden took charge. During
the seven years largely through his own
efforts $4,000 has been paid on in
terest and principal The debt now
stands at $4,000. with $1,000 of this

of the strongest in the state having
a membership of $50.
This is from The Pittsburgh Ga
zette-Times.
