HEIRS TO $140,000.0O
Frank Swim, Sr. and Brother Fall
Heirs to Real Estate Located
at Winslow, Arizona.

Frank Swim, Sr. returned from
Winslow, Arizona last week where
he had been on account of a sum of
money said to be in the neighborhood d
of $40, 900, which he and his brother
have fallen heir to, and to be equally
divided among them. This was
caused by the death of his mother,
Mrs. Helen Swim, who owned consid-
cradle real estate in and around
Winslow.
Frank has for the past two years
been one of prosperous business men
of this city, and it is with the best
wishes from the News, as well as the
many friends of Mr.. Swim, that he
may ever prosper.

Caadrcnnial Assessment.
The duaS rennial assessment of
real estate begins IN September Of the
ipregent year. The supervisors meet
January first following. Great In
equality IN the assessment OF Padu-
cabs realty prevails. Some escape
taxation OF their property altogether,
which In part accounts for the condi-
ton in which Paducah's finances have
been for several years. Desiring that
the burden of taxation be fairly and
lequitably distributed on class and
macs alike, and believing that the
moot effective method that can be en-
ployed in attaining this result is the
completion OF the block mapeof the
city, urge you that Mr.. Washington,

Your attention Is asked to the most

abe Z. W. Bagby, president of the
Carnegie library. It appears therein
that the city has taken the stand
that the fire insurance and the per
manent improvements on the build
ing and grounds must be paid by th<
library board out of their annual ap-
portionment. Mr.. Bagby, who has
investigated the law on the subject,
is of the opinion the city is in error.
and makes a request OF an allowance
of $1,000 10 the library board TO OFF
set the charges against the city for
such improvements.
