ers who desires the name Withheld,

fir Grand Rapids for 1907. The COM
nunication in question is as follows:
Taxes for the fear 1907.
1t will soon be time for US to pay
-otr taxes for the past year and it
my be interesting to know that
thre are certain reasons why our
taleS must of necessity be larger than
las year. Below is table giving a
comparison of the State and County
ta1 the tax for schools and the tax
raied for general purposes for the
yea 1906 and 1907.

ScbOlS 27007.00 30OOO00
Geleral Purposes 100000 100000
Toal s56s5o.22 sesOs1 Al
We must also remember that in
1876 the total cost for severe conStruc-
tiO was 1852 80, and that the total
cos for sewer construction for 1907
wd $8310.l0 Salaries for city officers
folthe year 1907 amounting to Sll75.
00nOre Than for the year 1906, and
wealSo have to pay 100000 more on
th principle of our outstanding bonds
tim we had to pay on the same for
th year 1906 The principal reason
folour increased taxes, as will appear
frm the above, is the difference in
tn State and County tax, which is
approximately s550O.00 greater for the
yer 1907 than it was in the year
1876.
here is abundant evidence of the
vie and frugal expenditure of the
ciy funds during the last two years.
TIE numerous street crossings. sewers
permanent and substantial improve
mnts of the streets and school build
1nS, all evidence progressive spirit
onthe part of the management of
th city administration and schools.
)ne very commendable innovation
dring the last year particularly, is
th interest the Ladies Federation
hS taken in beautifyiDg the city.
TIE ladies are to be especially
commended for their great services in
establishing the nucleus of our park
sytem. The library park will GER
tanly be beautiful spot within
vey short time, providing the ladies
cotinue their efforts The expense
otthis park to the city has been
pactically nothing, as the work was
narly all done gratis at the sOlicita-
tin of the ladies.
Mrs. Mac Crae the land scape artist,
wo superintended the improvement
ofthe park and the setting out of
tie shrubbery, flowers, etc, is also
diligently at work with the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Co.,
sc that they will surely complete the
p;rk on the west side, adjacent to
! tie depot of the Railway Co. and she
isconfident that she will succeed in
making it place of beauty before the
ED of next season.

Last night about twelve o'clock
there was lively scurrying to the

brilliant electrical display and heavy
rain for short time. In some parts

no serious damage is reported.
A report was current this morning

ing more than heavy wind and rain
The storm seems to have been general
