Mr. Richmond makes prediction promise it will

made to aid the move to put the question before the

used in the construction of a federal
building there. The shipment consist
ed of engines, concrete mixers, scaf-
folding and other equipment.
The marble of the finishing OF the
interior has ben received and is being
placed Two styles are being used. 1t

is termed Creole" and Antique" The
latter will be used in the lobby, while
the other marble work to the building
will be done in the "Creole.7
The plastering will all be completed

mate of w. F. Rachel, superintendent,

TAX PAYING
PROCEEDS

w. T. Cloud county treasurer, is re
ceiving the 1914 taxes, both personal
and real, and states, that about the
average numbers of taxpayers are
needing the "pay early idea in order
to side-step the attachment of the Is
per cent penalty that will be applied
after January l.
If at least the first half of the 1914
taxes are not paid by that date, the
entire amount becomes delinquent
and a penalty of Is per cent is added
on the whole.
Yesterday, the sheriffs office turn
ed over to Mr.. Cloud the 1918 delin-
quent personal taxes collected to the
time the warrants were turned over
to the county treasurer's office. The
amount thus collected was S4l44.S6
which is considered to be about an
average collection of these items This
amount was collected in about two
months.
