Etiquette Of Calling

The commencement Of the winter
season, and the consequent return of
many OF the residents to town, brings
calling very much to the front once
more, and the question at once presents
itself as to who should take the initia-
tive and BIO the frst TO call-should it
be the earliest or the latest arrival7
Practically speaking, this doubt is
not to be decided by the date of arrival.
as 1t entirely depends upon from whom
call Is due or from whom 1t is not
due. The one who was the last to
call. although she may have been the
earliest arrival in town, should await
tho call still unpaid before repeating
her visit TO the dady In question. This
point of etiquette, II strictly observed
occasionally leads to some little mis-
apprehension between slight acquaint.
ances. moro particularly II ono of them
happens to have a rather defective
momory with regard to dates. and is
somewhat careless in arranging her
visiting list. On the other hand, others
are so punctilious in this respect that
they know almost without consulting
their visiting book whether & call Is
due from them or to them, and act in
accordance with this knowledge,

BUSINESS PROPERTIES ARE
ASSESSED BELOW REAL VALUE
SAY INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
Meeting Of Tax Payers Held Last Night To Dis
cuss Discrepancies Favoring Wealthy Owners
Plans Discussed For Securing Readjustment OF
Certain Schedules That Are Said To Be Out
Of Proportion

The initial step toward securing
reyaluation of certain business
properties down town was taken last
Tuesday at a meeting of tax payers
held on Normal hill. The meeting
was the outgrowth of a quiet inves-
tigation that has been going on
which had for it's object the securing
of valuations placed on properties in
the down town district which were
said to be not in conformity with the
schedules in effect in the residence
districts.
A comparative list of schedules
has been prepared, giving the
amount of assessment appearing on
the county assessors books and a
valuation appraised by committee
of real estate men familiar with
property values through long ex-
perience in Greeley. 1t is said that
some of the discrepancies are so
glaring and that they are so numer-
Gus that it will require a revaluation
to adjust the difference and to make
the schedule any where near main
tanning a proportionate average.
The meeting was called to discuss
the chances of having an adjustment
made at once or to make plans for
the assessments for next year in or
der that the difference may be
eliminated before another year:

at Various Functions-1oung
Players Prepared to Furn-
Nh Fine Music

The program has been arranged
for commencement week at the high
school and preparations are under
way to insure closing exercises that
will go down into history as the
best on record
Commencement week will begin
the evening of Friday, May &c, when
the juniors will hold their reception.
The place mas not been decided upon
and may be at one of the larger pri-
vate houses in the city instead of a
more public place.
The class sermon will be on the
following Sunday, May 2S. One of
the local ministers will deliver the
message to the seniors. On Wednes-
day, May 81, class night will be held,
which will be entirely in charge of
the seniors. Commencement proper
will be on Thursday evening, June
1, when diplomas will be given. A
speaker from outside the city will
be engaged for this occasion.
A feature of the commencement
exercises this year will be the ap-
pearanco OF the high school orches-
ira, which now numbers % instru-
mentalists. all of whom are students.
The Organization is better prepared
this year than ever before and will
furnish the music at all of the exer-
cises.

tion stated that the entire business
district would average below what
the residence districts were taxed.
In the specific instances it is said
that the wealthier property owners
have profted by the uneven valua-
tions found and that condition
similar to that discovered in Denver
existed, wherein certain interests
were found to be paying far less in
proportion than the citizen of mod
crate means.
The meeting last night was the
first of series that will be held in
the near future. The movement is
fathered by an informal organization
of tax payers who attended the
meetings that led to the appoint
ment of the tax payers committee,
which has already made partial re-
port on their investigation dealing
with the 100000 bridge across the
Platte. The findings of this commit
tee and the probability of another
section of their report at an early
date has led the Interested tax pay
ers to remain active in probing deep
| ly as possible into the tax question
and the expenditure OF the county
money.
One plan suggested was to have a
committee of we'll known real estate
men pass upon the existing valua-
tons on the business properties in
question and to reappraise them.
these to be submitted to the county
assessor for future data or as basis
to revalue the places under criti-
cism.

GREELEY MAN TO USE ELEC-
TRICITY ON HIS CHICKENS

William Motheral. well known
among the chicken fanciers of Weld
county. is planning stunt that bids
fair to revolutionize chicken raising
in northern Colorado. He has Just
completed the erection of the finest
poHltry houses in Greeley on his
property at the corner of Thir-
teenth avenue and Sixteenth street.
The feature of the new quarters for
his fancy fowls is in the electric
lighting system that is being install
led and herein lies the idea that Will
be tried.
In the laying house are electric
lights sufficient to illuminate the in
side like MONDAY. The lights are
colored to give the effect of stream
ing sunlight. 1t is Mr.. Motheral's
plan to turn on these lights at mid
night during the laying seasons so
that the hens will believe that an
other day has come and immediately
set about laying their usual dany
egg.
The plan will be money maker
If il works out, since all Of Mr..
Motheral's chickens are of fancy
varieties, the eggs of which com
mand high prices for setting.
TO insure carrying out his plan
he has arranged an electric button
AT his bedside by which he can turn
on the lights in his chicken house.
He also has an alarm clock in his
room. which he will set for mid
night each night.
some of those whom he has told
the plan think that the chicken fan-
cier is iOliing, but he declares that
he will make the experiment in good
faith and give the plan thorough
test. He claims that chickens are
only kent from activity by darkness
and that If artificial light is provided
for them they will do double duty
for their owners.
