The faculty and the South Omaha High

graded schools of the city rendered MISS
Anna Rush a reception In the rest rooms
of the South Omaha High school yester-
day afternoon. Miss Rush recently re-
| signed her position as secretary TO the
city superintendent on account of her poor
health. Her work in that position was
much appreciated by all who came in con-
tact. with her. For this reason they
prepared the little surprise. They presented
her with a fine set of sterling silver spoons
and a memorial.
Big Tax Payments Coming
During the last two weeks of December
the city finances interest the treasury de-
partment of the city government more
than any other time Of the year. The tax
becomes delinquent January / and for
that reason a big rush usually comes in at
| the close of the year. The treasurer has
recently sent out statements to the
| packers showing their taxes. The big cor
porations usually pay as near to the first
of the year as possible. Yesterday the
| statement of the Omaha Land company
was prepared. This is the largest of the
companies outside of the packers and the
public service corporations.
