LAURIUM
TAX PAYMENTS
ARE IMPROVING
Receipts for Present Year Equal
Record of 1912

While dire effects Of the labor diff
Culties were predicted In village nnan-
oial affairs, two weeks ago Indications
at present appear To- be- more favorable
ana there Is little likelihood of string
ent measures being necessary. Tho
payment of taxes is better than cN-
pccted and in fact, the 5000 that has
been paid i'm the past month. equals
the record Of a year ago.
Payments on water taxes have been
hampered To the extent of 5000 and
the outstanding accounts are 5000 rs
against $500 when conditions are nor
NAL. Payment tor meters is also being
made gradually and the outstanding
bills due the village on this account do
not exceed $3.50. This amount repre-
SCENTS payments that are due on meters
installed during the present year and
which do not really become payable
until six months have elapsed.
The installation of meters will be
pushed and the council intends 10 place
the entire village under meter basis
before the end of the year. Approx
mately $50 services are not equipped
with meters and this task will be un-
dertaken during the present month.
An order will be placed for probably
30 meters early in September SO the
work can proceed unhampered. Pay
ment on this Improvement is not due
for six months and it IS believed that
conditions will Ice restored To normal
before that time elapscs.
While the personal property tax rec
ora equals that of the previous year,
a greater part of that already paid i'm
represents that paid by large property
owners. The greatest amount how
ever ordinarily is due i'm September
but the statutes limit the payment un-
I'll the third Monday in October, in add
dition to proyso for "A further cN-
tension. In the event that this is i'm
pcratiye, no pressure will be brought i'm
any instances where the village can
possibly avoid such action.

among delegates to the Pan-Presby-

the session Of the Southern Assem-

the alleged political activities of the
Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America was resumed.
Charges that this organization,
composed of some thirty powerful
churches of various denominations, is
endeavoring to influence national pol

of Memphis, and the Rev. r. NJ. Hall,
of Galveston. DR.. Lowry urged that
the Southern Presbyterian Church

Thought Withdrawal Unwise.
Replying TO these charges, DR..

while there are many things relating
