SLOW PROGRESS IN
PAYING OF TAXES
Most of the Largest Taxpay-
ers, However, Made Set
Elements by March /.

County Treasurer Albertson has
sent to the state treasurer $4,000 in
accordance with the call sent out to
each county treasurer in the state for
twenty-five per cent of the money on
hand in the various counties. 1t is said
that Wayne county is one of the few
counties in the state which have com.
piled with the call for money, so far.
The call was issued it is understood,
because of their being but little in the
state Golfers and because of number
of outstanding bills which must be
met at once.
Treasurer Albertson and his office
force are in the midst of the busy tax
paying period. With only two weeks re-
manning in which to pay the first in
istallment of the 1911 taxes large num-
lbers of taxpayers are literally rushing
in the treasurer's office in order that
they will not be cassed delinquent.
The advice contained in the old
maxim, Come early and avoid the
rush" apparently was not followed by
the majority of taxpayers in this coun-
-ty, as up to last Saturday only a de-
:cided minority had visited the treas
urers office.
A few of the heaviest tax payers,
however, settled their taxes before
March /, in order to be assessed for
the money they intended to use in
the payment of taxes.
Persons owning land in more than
one township or town or desiring to
pay for property not in their names
ARE always requested to call the treas
turers attention to the matter. Tax
payers should also examine their re-
cepts carefully before leaving the
treasurer's office to ascertain if the re-
ceipts describe all property, both per-
sonal and real, and if they are other
wise correct.

the charge of assault and battery upon
Russell Andrews, his half brother.
Chalk plainly showed that the COM
bat had not been one-sided. They were
arrested Saturday night.
The trouble started over an argu-
ment about where they should sleep
Saturday night. They did not have
money enough TO secure a room at a
hotel The argument soon grew heated
and vile names We're exchanged. Then
came the mix-up and Russell Andrews
drew knife on his half-brother.

places. He was also cut in the face

CITY PLANT REPORT
FOR MARCH ENTERED

The report for the city light plant
for the month of March was SUBMIT
ed to the council last evening. 1t was
accepted. The receipts for the month
are S11,112.SS, and the disbursements
$6,041.77. Out of this sum, however,
S2,SS3.60, the interest for six months
on the $4,000 bonded indebtedness
of the plant, was paid. Building and
equipment took $966,14 of the funds
and $3.50 was paid into the sinking
fund. The sinking fund has a total of
s7,667.91 in the treasury now. The mu-
nicipal fund has s31 ,00s.75 and the
municipal sinking fund has $11.449.43.
Laying aside the sum which the city
owes the plant for lighting the streets
of the city, and which sum is not ac-
tually paid to the plant, the plants ex-
cess of receipts over operating expens-
es were $3,03237.

TUNNELS UNDER RIVERS.
They Are Built on a Plan Taught to
Man by Worm.


There are now many great rivers
with tunnels under them. Even when
one is sunk to such a depth and car
ried so far along as the one under the
Hudson at Storm King for the aque-
duct it excites only moments Won
der.
Such tunnels are generally driven IN
der the water on the same plan. and
that plan was taught to an engineer by
a worm. The first attempt to make a
tunnel under a river of any size was
the Thames tunnel in London. which
was built by the famous engineer Bru-
mel. He had so much trouble with the
water that oozed through that he came
near giving up the job as impossible
when he happened to see a piece of
bored under water.
AS the worm ate it's way into the
wood it left deposit like lime all
around the hole. and this got quite hard
and waterproof. so that the worm could
always get out the way 1t came. and
Brunei did the same thing. He made
large steel tubes and pushed them into
the earth. and then he forced cement
In between the tube and the wet
ground about 1t. so that it set as hard
as rock. All tunnels under water are
built on the same plan now.-New York
Sun.
