Expressions From Former Mayor
DOW and Mayor Strange.

Il take this opportunity to call
your attention to the capable manner
in which the Collector and Treasurer
has performed his duties The fig
ures of his report show that he has
made one of the best, if not the best,
treasurers the city has ever had. His
strict attention to business should
gain for. him. the appreciation of all
our citizens.
ION account of the prompt collec-
tion of taxes by the present Treasurer
and the payments made by the pre-
vious Treasurer. the City was enabled
to pull through the fiscal year with
out borrowing money on note. as has
been the Necessary custom for mum
Der of years past" Report of Former
Mayor Douw, July, 1906.
Our efficient Treasurer has done
well in the collecting of taxes; he has
performed the duties of his office in
capable manner and has been untir-
ing in his efforts for the best interests
of our city" Report OF Mayorstrange
August. 1910
THE Treasurer has done exceed
ingly well in the collection of taxes
during the past year. Owing to the
tightness of money he has not collect
ed as much as in the previous years,
but the back taxes are now coming in
very well' REPORT of Mayor Strange

If qualification for the Office is to

UMPIRES PLEASE BOSSES.
League Heads Satisfied with the
Work of Their Men.

Boston, Mass July 2s-Both Ban John
son and John X. Tener declared that they
are perfectly satisfied with the work of
their umpires. 1t is fine thing to know
that somebody Is satisfied with the UNI
piring that has been going on this season.
An arbitrator's job is one of the hardest
in existence and for that very reason It
takes mighty good man to hold it down
There is no question as to the honesty
of the indicator men in the big leagues
but there is more than a reasonable doubt
as to the ability of some of them No
one expects infallibility. but good eye
sight and cool judgment are necessary
in an umpire, and atrocious decisions that
have been rendered. this year would lead
to the belieef that some of the men in
charge of the games in the big leagues
have superiority Of neither eyesight nor
Judgment.
On the other hand it is only fair to
say that the work of the majority of the
umpires is highly satisfactory. There are
more good ones than bad ones, but the
bad ones are very bad.
