taxpayer advising him when the

treasurer was not required by law
but 1t was his desire to give the
people Of the district the fullest
information and TO save any from
the necessity of paying the pen--
atty imposed by law upon those
who should not make payment
within the limit prescribed.
When interviewed by the Bee,
Mr.. Wise said he was pleased,
and that he would like the peo--
pie of the district to know that
he very thoroughly appreciated
their prompt and hearty action.
