City TAX Collector Frank ong is
doing good business these days
In issuing tax receipts. All taxes
for the year 1907 are now due and
must be paid before the end Of the
month to avoid penalty.
City poll taxes are also due and
must be paid this month to secure
the right Of taking part in the city

TEsS the Board of Education, not
the Superintendent, is by law

That it, ret the Superintendent, is

That this power to remove is con
