Pauli, the city is now preparing to publish a list of tax payers who have been slow in paying their real property tax The matter is to be taken into consider ation by the city council at their meeting this evening, and 1t is prob able that some action will then be taken.

 It is understood that after the names are published for a certain length of time. that the property of the delinquents will be levied upon and sold by the city to satisfy the payments of the taxes.

 All of the returned freighters ad- vocate the bridging of the streams which must be crossed between Olnes and the Tolovana.
