Each year the assessors find
themselves with more work to do.
One thing that the tax commission
insists upon this year is that the
personal property Of all persons,
whether they are within the 5000
exemption limit or not must be
listed. A separate list must be kept

Heretofore not a great deal of at

School, Building Here
Destroyed BY Fire

Two minutes after Miss Nell MIL
Ter, principal OF the Lincoln school,
detected a fire In the building by
the cracking overhead and smok-
ing shingles falling to the ground
outside. all of the children and
teachers were out Of the building.
A defective flue caused a fire be-
tween the second story and the
roof. The flue is in the center Of
the building. The roof entire was
ruined, and the walls and ceilings
damaged greatly. The loss has not
been estimated, but will be covered
by the $4,000 insurance on the
building. None Of the desks In the
upstairs rooms was burned and all
of the school books in three rooms
of the school were carried out. The
pupils in Miss Miller's room, up
stairs, above which the fire spread
first, lost their books. Most of the
children's clothing was taken from
the building. The finest kind of

helping them to get the property

The report that Lincoln school
was on fire brought hundreds OF
people to the scene, and frantic par
ents rushed to the building, fearing
that the flames had trapped the
pupils. When they arrived they
found the children outside watching
the fire or sorting through a huge
pile of school books, looking for
their own. One woman tainted when
her fears that not all the children
were safe were dispelled. One little
girl was convinced that her little
brother was left in the burning
building, and was reassured only
when men carried her into down

danger as yet, to prove to her that
her brother was not inside the
school but somewhere in the crowd
of youngsters scattered about the

Last Tuesday evening as per
published notice in The Enter
prise at the request Of the Mayor,
a meeting was held at the City
Hall for the purpose OF taking
the preliminary steps for an or
ganization that it is hoped Will
be a credit to the City in the very.
near future. Unfortunately, oW-
ING 10 the neglect of the commit
tee in not drafting a charter, 1t
was the consensus Of opinion that
the organization be postponed to
a later date or a more propitious
time for some members OF the
committee.
It was our pleasure, however,
TO differ with the views OF some
of the members as to the post
ponement because no charter hao
been drafted, fearing the next
meeting might find fewer present
TO enroll themselves as members.
The committee will meet IN the
Mayors Office next Monday even
ing to- outline a charter which
will be submitted at mass meet
ing to be called at a later date.

meeting were Messrs. Leon Drey-
