ClTYS TAX RATE,
seventy-Five Gents on Each One Hun dred Dollars Is AmoUnt'De-
 manded by Trustees.

The assessed valuation for the city of El Centro, after the completion of the Board of Equalization, is $45S.7S5.
 Seventy-five cents on every $100 of assessed valuation is the tax rate for El Centro's first year of existance as a city of the sixth class.
 This was decided upon at a meeting of the Board of City Trustees held Monday evening. The meeting was a short but an important one. Trus- tees Brown, Pellet and Hamilton were present, and Trustee Brown presided.
 Tn accordance with the provisions of law, the trustees received the report of the Board of Equalization and from City Clerk Havens received the com pleted tax roll and his affidavit that he had made the changes ordered by the Board of Equalization.
 Immediately thereafter the trustees adopted a resolution fixing the tax rate at seventy-five cents on each S10O of assessed valuation.
 George A. Carter, treasurer of the Fl Centro Ten Thousand Club, in be- half of the club, addressed the board on the proposed plan of planting trees on each residence street, and urged the necessity of taking up tue work by city ordinance, as provided by the State laws.
 The trustees expressed themselves as being in sympathy with the move ment, and instructed City Attorney Conkling to investigate the provisions of the act which provides for tree planting under municipal control, and formulate an ordinance of intention to carry through such work. This is to be presented at the next meting.
 The City Attorney as also instruc- ted to prepare an ordinance of inten- tion to pave Main street from the Southern Pacific Railroad to the Date canal, and to present the same at the next regular meeting of the trustees.

Monday from Idaho by his son

tello on time and the train at
thai point waits - minutes for
other trains to arrive and make up,
that being an important division
point. Here there are numerous
railroad tracks as well as trains
ready to start for different parts
of the country.
In leaving the Blackfoot train
he had to cross through other
trains and in the hurry of his

supposed he had walked perhaps
