Ure Has Plan for
Joining the City
and County Taxes


Before the Real Estate exchange yester-
day County and City Treasurer W. G. IRE.
outlined 4 plan for the consolidation Of
city and county taxes, which he said
would be a convenience for taxpayers,
In allowing them 10 pay all taxes al one
time. he would save the county money by
making 1t possible 10 pay cash to con-
tractors and would cut tho force in the
treasurers office nearly in half.
At present. with the assessment made
early in the spring. the county board has
no money 10 work with after coming into
office. until personal taxes become de-
linqusnt In December. and not much
money until realty taxes are due the
following June Mr.. IRE would move the
assessment forward into September or
October and the money would some In
the spring. when most needed. and each
succeeding county board would have
money to work with all through Its
term. The payment OF county taxes could
be made to coincide with the time Of pay
ment Of city taxes. as now fixed.
The plan would necessitate county
assessment twice for the first year Of
the plans operation. or TO obviate this,
the assessment could be moved foreward
three months the first year and three
months the second year.
The Real Estate exchange endorsed
the proposition and delegated the legis-
lative committee 10 outline a plan Of
action. which must be state wide, as
legislature enactment is necessary to
make the change. .ts

Thomas Sheraton
Leaves His Mark
in Furniture World

Thomas Chatterton was one OF Eng
lands greatest poetic geniuses. Thomas
Sheraton was another English genius
that came from his pen, has bequeathed
a pathetic similarity In the careers OF
these two Thomases. chatterton went
down to London to meet neglect, to face
starvation. and. finally, TO take his own
life. Sheraton did not commit suicide.
but neglect and hardship were his lot.
From his birthplace at stockton-on-Tees
he went to London in his early manhood.
For some years be earned precarious
Finding at last. that u would be neces-
sary for him to do something or starvs,
he became q designer OF furniture. and
came under the influence OF Robert and
James Adam. two Of the notable figures
In the furniture world during the latter
part Of the eighteenth century.
BY their close adherence to classic
traditions and through their success IN
interpreting classic details, the Adam
brothers made themselves dominant as
teachers Of the architectural and deco
rative arts. Sheraton. under their infiu-
ence and tuteiage, developed a degree OF
artistic skill that entities him to rank
with. II not above. them. But, like many
another genius. he was compelled to leave
it to posterity TO discover his greatness.
He lived In poverty and died neglected.
Sheraton's wonderful cleyerness mani
Vested itself most forcefully in his deco
rative schemes. He is known as a color
poet. owing to the ability he possessed to
piss highly colored woods as a painter
uses pigments Marquetry and inlay were
chosen as the chief mediums Of his deco
rative fancies. although he occasionally
chose a carved wreath.
In Sheraton furniture there is a charm
and refinement which cause one to won
der how the people Of his, own time hap
pened to overlook his Importance and
leave 1t to later generations to accord
to him the honorable place he occupies
In furniture history.

MINNESOTA OFFER.

Again Prof. Claude Halstesd Van

offer carrying with II a very large In

fee Of dean of the graduate school
and head Of the department of history.
The regents were advised of the
offer made TO Prof Van Tyne. an offer
which both he and the officials OF the
University of Michigan considered
gracious and complimentary to the
caliber of the Michigan man. Just
what action was taken by tho regents
is not known. but Prof Van Tyne has
announced his intention Of remaining
at Ann Arbor. 1t has been known gen
orally among the members Of the fa-
Guilty and among the students that
Prof Van Tync's ambitions ran to
writing and teaching, rather than to
the administrative work of universi-
| ties, and this fact Is believed to have
played part in his refusal to go to
the western institution, which now
ranks among the best in the land.
! Prof. Van Tyne was graduated from
the University of Michigan with the
class of '96, following which he stud
led IN Heidelberg. Leipzig and Paris,
and at the University of Pennsylva-
mia. He has been q member OF the ia =

tor of numerous historical works. lie
