{ A PAVING TAX PLAN.
Sioux City Uses Zone Plan of Assess
ina Property.


i ing Property.
Sioux City, Aug. 1.-The city council
decided this morning to radically alter
the present paving assessment plan
and to adopt a plan under which each
quarter block affected by paving will
be assessed in zones, according to area
and benefits without consideration of
ownership.
Action was taken by the council di-
rectly after a Recommendation had
been made by City Attorney Sam Page,
and was taken in line with the sug-
gestions made by the attorney.
Assessments in the future will be
made on property In zones in such a
manner as to charge each piece Of
ground in one block the same as an
identically situated piece of the same
area in another block, provided the
width of the street and the nature of
the Improvement is in both cases the
same..
Property in the abutting fifty feet
will be charged one-half Of the total
assessment. THE two zones behind
will be of fifty feet each, and will pay
the same assessment, dividing the re-
naming one-half Of the cost. 1t was
held by the council that the benefits
received by property In either the first
or second zones will be the same.
In cases where the improved street
varies in width at different points. as
sessments shall be based on the width
Of the street at the abutting point, it
being held that benefits will accrue in
that degree. In several places in the
city double street car tracks merge into
single tracks. The street railway COM
pany must pave between it's own
tracks. Hence the cost to property
owners of paving the porto nor the
street where tracks are double is con-
siderably less than the cost where the
tracks are single.
Street intersections will continue to
be charged into the general cost Of the
pavement and assessed against all the
property affected.

An effort will be made to secure Joe
Wing, soil expert, as IAN instructor In
the institute. A monster tent will be
secured for the occasion and everything
bids fair to make this the most sue
cessful annual institute ever held in
Royal.

The large barn on the Peter Bonk
place in Grant township, four miles
southeast of Dixie caught fire Tuesday
afternoon and burned to the ground.
The cause of the fire is not known.
There were threshers at the place at
the time. They were running the straw
from the machine into the barn at the
time the fire started in the hay on the
inside. A spark from the engine or a
spark from pipe may have been the
cause. Tho there was good deal or
help on the place at the time, the fire
ate so rapidly into the dry hay that it
was impossible to check 1t. The thresh-
ing crew had all they could do to Ses
their machine out of the fires range.
The rest of the help on the place put
UP Il vigorous fight to keep the fire from
sprea ding to an adjoining barn, new
building which was put up last year.
Aside from the straw which was in
thes building there was about twenty
tons of hay. P. D. Wallace resides on
