|C|1YS VALUATION DECREASES
 AND SO DOES THE TAX RATE

With a decreased assessable valua- tion of city property of about $2,0O0, GOO, compared with that of 1914, when the valuation amounted to something over $29,000,0 ,000, the city tax rate for the ensuing year, as indicated by the budget approved by the city commis- sion in special session yesterday. will be fixed at S5 cents. as compared with s1 on each $100 valuation last year. In the face of greatly reduced receipts by reason of the liquor licenses being wiped out and the mer- cantile licenses so greatly reduced that they will amount to about one sixth of the amount collected last year, the commission and City Man ager Robert A. Craig believe that it will be conceded that this maIerial reduction in the tax rate is an ac- complishment to which they may well point with pride.
 In a nutshell, these are the figures of the budget-amount proposed to be expended from each fund.- General fund ... s3S6, 6,370.OG Less balance cash

On Father kelly's Sunday in the chapel

And it isn't on one knee they'll kneel

When Father Kelly breaches, all the

In such shroud OF silence you can
feel the chill OF it;
There's not baby dares to cry, a
sleepy man to nod,
When Father Kelly tells them of the
awful might of God;
But like a neighbor talking in the
homely way we know
Is the half an hour discoursing Of old
Father Donohoe.
All praise to Father Kelly. sure he's
fine to build and hold,
But little Father Donohoe is worth his
weight In gold
There's not child around Kilmell with
sense enough to stand
That wouldn't leave its nanny to be
holding to his hand.
There's not a dog that ever barked
defiance to a foe
But wags it's tail half OF its back for

For what would Kilmell parish be

He holds US to our duty and he guides

For one poor laundering lamb was like

Understood His Profession.

The professor Of jurisprudence in Il
western university was lecturing to a
hundred embryo lawyers. He asked
whether anyone in America could own
property. One fellow answered. mo, a
criminal can't own property"
But the professor said, Suppose a
nan owns ranch, gets into trouble
with his neighbor, assaults him and is
put into the penitentiary, does he still
own the rancho"
The class was unanimous that he did
"If he did not continue to own it,
went on the professor, what would
become of it?"
That was supposed to settle the
question, but one boy called out. THE
lawyer would get it,
There was hearty laugh, of course,
and the professor added:

remark-be a lawyer and don't be a
