MANY PAY CASH FOR PAVING
Total Amount of Special Assessments
for the Year is Only Little in Elk
cess of $4,000. To Collect Taxes
After Christmas.

City Clerk George w. Harrington is
busy getting out the annual tax levy
and he plans to have the books ready to
turn over to the City Treasurer by
Christmas day. In. order to do this
the entire force of the City Clerk will
be kept busy getting out the figures
rant will be the largest ever turned
over to the City Treasurer for collec-
tion for in addition to the 1855, 965.51
levied as city taxes by the city coun-
Gil at its last regular session special
assessments to the amount of more than
$4,000 are being placed on the tax
roll and the total warrant to the treas
urer will amount to more than $275, 1000.
There will be slight increase in the
regular city tax on account of the
fact that since the books were turned
over to the finance committee the city
assessors have found some property
which was not listed and this has been
added to the assessment. The increase
from this property will probably be in
the neighborhood of $500 but the city
will have no trouble in finding a place
to put this money. The $4,000 charg-
ed on the tax roll for special assess
ments for public Improvement work
does not represent the cost of this work
during the year as majority of the
property owners in the city have sig
nifed their intention to pay cash for
the work and no bonds were issued
for the assessments. The year has
been one filed with improvements but
the conditions have made it possible for
the property owners to pay for the
work as it was completed.
Of the sum charged in the tax roll as
special assessments there is $12,435.83
for paving work. Most of this is charg-
ed against property on Ashland avenue
that being the only. big job Of paving
during the year. The special assess
ments for sewer work amount to 49,

SETS TIME RECORD.
Appeal of Collier Case to Supreme
Court Completed in Record Time.

The papers in the suit of Edward
Collier against the town of Salem,
judgment in which was entered in the
circuit court on Friday afternoon are
OH their way to Madison and all records
for appeals have been broken in taking
the case TO the Supreme court. The
opinion of the court reached the attor-
neys on Friday morning but it was not
until late in the evening that the iudg-
ment had been entered. Attorney Stew
art who represented Collier in the suit
had his appeal ready by two O'Clock
in the afternoon. The appeal is taken
on the ground that the court erred in
finding that Collier was guilty of con-
triputory negligence. The case will
probably come up for argument in the
January term of the Supreme court.
The decision of Judge Belden caused
great rejoicing among the people of the
town of Saleem and the decision of the
court was published under a big Geek
ira" head in the Wilmot paper this
morning.
On account of the fact that another
suit is pending in which the same state
of facts will be urged it is certain
that the case will be bitterly contested
in the Supreme court of the state.
