that the Canadian quarantine Will
also be lifted in short time, thus
facilitating shipments to the east.
The cost TO farmers and stock deal
ers Of this quarantine, which began
Nov. 20. after the discovery OF foot

WOULD CUT PENALTIES
ON SPECIAL LEVIES

City Treasurer Koch Is very anxious
&c secure favorable action from the
council on his recommendation To cut
down the penalties and rate OF inter
est on certain classes OF special as
sessments. He will urge the justice
OF the reductions before the proper
committees this week.
AT the present time IL may be
very serious matter for poor man to
keep up with HIS paving assessments"
says Koch. IF he happens TO lose his
Job or otherwise not have the money
to meet the assessment promptly, he
finds himself saddled with 5 per
cent penalty and z per cent interest,
so that he has TO pay IL per cent the
first year in addition TO the principal.
That is too much, and I think the
council will alter the present arrange
ment."

Diphtheria Scare Unfounded.

The fact that there have been a
few cases of diphtheria in the city
during the past month or so has
given rise to an exaggerated report
that that dread disease is very
prevalent here. 1t has been re-
ported thru the country that there
were $50 cases at one time, and
this has had a very deterring effect
upon country people who do their
trading here. The report has
scared them SO that many of them
refuse to come to town. The facts
are that there have been few
cases Of amid form of the disease,
but these have been promptly taken
care Of and the houses quarantined.
We have made enquiry and found
tile facts to be as stated, and there
is no cause for the exaggerated
rumor that has been floating around
the country regarding the number
OF dlphtheria cases in the city.
