CITY WILL DESIGNATE
 JAN. 1 BY PAYING OFF
And Yet No City Empioye Will
 Object.

It is lust horrid to think that the city will desecrate the New Years Day by paying off its employes within the revered hours. but it is going to do 1t, and not a single employe of the muni- cipality has raised his voice against 1t.
 The 1st of January is just as big a pay day as the first of April or any other month and City Clerk John Far ley and Acting City Treasurer John G. Cowan will go on. fin the same old way. It was feared at first that some mem- bers of the departments might beg that payment be suspended until Thurs day, but as vet no complaint has been made and MT. Farley said last night he thought nearly everybody would come by for his money.

Sev- erai of the larger colleries in this dis< trict resumed operations the day after the holiday but many men were absent in some of the mines and these could not go back to work until today.

Tax Assessor Busy.

Probably the busiest place in Bir- mineham is the, office o fthe tax as sessor in the count house. and the next busiest place Is that of the tax collec- tor From the time both offices opened Monday morning until o'clock Mon day afternoon great line of people stood in the assessors offices. waiting for an opportunity to give ih property. while as many more lined up In front of the window in MT. Tarrant's office and wanted to pay taxes on property for 1907. In both offices there will be penalties for delay after the offices close Tuesday afternoon and for that reason there is belated rush.
 The assessments for the year will go beyond all prior figures. 1t is thought. as much care Is being observed by the clerks in the assessors office. They question all persons carefully about real and personal property and the records show that many new corporal tions have been formed during the past twelve months. During the year there were no less than 1S6 new corporations formed, representing a combined capf- tal stock of S45360O0. No less than twenty-three big concerns increased their capital stock from a few thous- and dollars to as much as $3.O00,O00 in one instance or total increase of S9.5Sl. 900. The comhjned money in- vested by new corporAtions and tn ose increasing their capital stock totals S14.117.5O0. This will be added to the assessments given in this year and will increase the countys income mate rially. Extra clerks have been en- ployed to look after the big crowds that have been flocking to the asses sor's office during the past week, and all records are expected to be broken Tuesday.

 After considerable manipulation the matter was compromised at o'clock this morning, the costs of the court being paid, the young woman given position in the chorus and her board bill for the week paid. Miss Evans is a prety young woman and came from Chicago. She stated that she had had experience in stage work and that she signed contract to be soubrette. At rehearsals here the manager did not show disposition of pleasure and being neglected she expressed fears ot being deserted here. Hence the suit

THE TAXPAYERS FIGHT.

The fight for the creation of a new

the present county is es-
sentially a taxpayers fight. and the
matter Is not wholly one sided as those

in the territory to be set off as one
practically ruinous to their best in

burden of taxation without any ade-
auate return in the way of Increased

To the many not directly Interested
the creation of new county appears
a heavy mortgage on the future, be-
cause, in all reason, 1t docs not seem
that the same territory can be more

one. In an age when all business In
