Think TAXPAYERS
NOT AWARE OF SALE
Officials Believe Confusion Exists in
Minds of Delinquents as to When
Assessments Are Due.

Although the District government has
spent more than $500 this year in ad
vertising the delinquent tax sale which
begins next Tuesday, officials of the local
government believe that many persons
whose names appear In the delinquent
list will not know that their property Is
scheduled to be sold under the hammer.
This belief is based on the fact that
there generally is confusion in the minds
of taxpayers as to when payment on
water main and sewer assessments be-
come due.
Collector Of Taxes Charles c. Rogers
stated today that many persons appear
to be under the impression that such
payments are not required to be made
on an installment basis, but become
due in a lump sum.
Law Providing Sale.
The law governing assessments for
water mains provides that "tf any in
stallment Of any assessment for water
main or service sewer shall not be paid
when due and payable. the property
against which said assessment was
levied may be sold for said delinquent
installment at the next ensuing tax
sale in the same manner and under the
same conditions as property sold for
delinquent taxes, II said installment
shall not have been paid prior to said
sale"
In the list of delinquent taxpayers
are included this year numerous prop
critics advertised to be sold to satisfy
first installment payments on water
main and sewer services. 1t Is be-
lieved that in the majority Of these
cases the owners are not aware that
the payments are overdue.

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.

The sad old year Is passing now;
Twill soon bid us adieu!
The time has come when he must bow
To one untried and new.
The old year has been fun Of cares,
OF bloodshed and Of grief;
The new begins with flowing tears
No prospects OF relief.
The widowed mothers tears stlll flow,
No comfort yet in sight;
The lines Of new.made graves still
grow;
IT'S Onward with the fight"
Man still Is slain by fellowman:
The earth Is drenched with gore.
We see aiar the armies van,
On once fair Europe's shore.
In sympathy we bow our head
And weep with those who weep,
And pray for those who can't be fed
Across the rolling deep.
But prayers can't I'll the hunger''
gaunt,
or clothe his back or feet;
There's naught can I'll the hunger''
want
Like John DIS ships Of wheat.
We should not envy him his gold.
When he the hungered feed,
Although his wealth cannot be told
Let's all bid him Godspeed.

MAKE YOUR ORDERS EARLY.

The proprie.ors Of some Of the gro
Gerry stores and the feed stores have
asked The Eagle to publish a notice
asking the public to place their orders
for delivery early in the morning so
that the orders can be filed with
more promptness. and also save a
large amount of unnecessary driving
over the streets and roads. which in
their present condition are well nigh
impossible. Early ordering will make
It possible for the stores to I'LL the
orders for houses in the same neigh
borhood at one load and will thus
save perhaps several trips to this
same neighborhood and save the
teams Of the stores from being pulled
to death.
This is a very simple request and
could be easily carried out, and the
store proprletors are anxious for it TO
be done to help them to save their
teams while the roads and streets are
in such deplorable condition.
