Citizens Must Get Together and Fay
Taxes So sum Of s722.O00 May
BE Reached.

The Finance Committee last night.
meeting In special session, approved
the proposition Of acquiring the water
works system os Woodland Heights, at
the cost of $37.472. The Woodland
Heights Corporation had constructed a
plant sufficient to take care OF itself
until annexation. when the bite Gp-
peared too big to chew. The city real
izing that the people of Woodland
Heights should, and shall, be taken
care of, will take over the plant, and
give the newly annexed all the privi-
leges of n full grown citizen.
The committee figured out that the
assessment for personal taxes for the
year 1915 amounted to $722,00o. In
order to reach this. all the business
people and those not in business
would do well to appear before City
Collector Herbert Hulce before the first
OF the year and help the fund along.
And the others who have overlooked
the obligation can help a whole lot
more, by going to City Treasurer Pace
to qualify as voters in the forthcom-
ing primary and general election.
