TAX AN IMPOSITION.
Mayor Angry to Learn of Unexpected
 Assessment.

Assessment.
 With a state tax of s69,073.7i facing it a boost of s20.00o over the esti- mate made by the board of finance and taxation, the city has a problem facing it to meet the extra demand. Mayor George A. Quigley was free to say that he considered the extra half mill foisted on the city an imposition and was not a Iittld indignant when he learned the unpleasant news, but that doesn't offer or provide a cure for the trouble. The tax is payable November 10 and an extra penalty oW nine per cent. is provided by law for nonpayment.
 The mayor is to consult with City Treasurer F. B. Chamberlain as to the best method of financing the matter as there is no provision for the extra s2O,000. This tax, which amounts to a mill and a half. Is only part of the extra burden to be bourne by the taxS' payers, as there is quarter mill county tax and an extra mill. which was voted to provide for the problem of the unemployed, making a grand total of two and three-quarters mills, which, under ordinary circumstances would not have been levied. Mayor Quigley figures that without these in- rosts the city would have been we'll conducted on fifteen mills and the taN4N payers would have gotten their worth.

TEST BoRINGS PROGRESSING.

Test borings in connection with the proposed tunnel in Burlington to con- meet the upper and lower watersheds. which are being made by engineers in the employ of the water department, are showing desired results. It will take from two to three weeks to com plete the work when the water com missioners will learn definitely wheth- CT the tunnel idea is feasible. It is believed that the tunnel will effect a saving of at least $70,000, as it will be a substitute for five or six miles of pipe line through rought country. The tunnel would be less than a mile in length, but it's construction will be inn practible if the underlying structure proves sandy or of soft material

CITY WILL SUPPLY
 TREES TO RESIDENTS
Applications, Properly Filled Out,
 Will Bring Summer Shade

If you are thinking of beautifying
 your property or the street upon
 which you live by setting out shade
 trees the city tree commission will take care of you. The time to set out shade trees or in fact any trees is now. Don wait until next spring. Tie
 trees will do much better if planted
 in the fall and the tree commission is ready to do the work. The commits
 sion will not only aid citizens with ex-
 pert advice, but will plant the trees,
 provide them with a proper guard and
 guarantee that they will live.
 The cost is $1.50 per tree and this
 figure includes all the work of plant
 ing, lacing the guards and seeing that
 the youngster gets a proper start III
 life. Should the tree not prosper the
 commission will replace it at no cost
 to you. : Application blanks may De obtained from members of the com mission at the City hall. Water com missioner w. B. Rossberg, who is an active member of the tree commission and is deeply interested in the work has a supply of blanks at the water commissioners office
 Last night the tree commission met at City Hall and received reports of the work done thus far. The commis- sion has sold 50 trees. Maple trees chiefly in demand, but others are obtainable. Sycamores and western catappaS are also recommended. The question of locating shade trees has been given much consideration by the commission. Although the general custom has been to set them in the plots between sidewalk and curb, it is considered a good plan to place them inside the property line. There they will not only give ample shade, but will be less liable to injury from street wires and will not interfere with the lights. .'-..
 Next week the commission plans to make a tour of the city to learn where shade trees are needed. Own CTS of building lots and those who have just erected homes and plan to beautify them by planting shade trees sh hould get in touch with the tree com mission. The city is not in the bus mess for purposes of profit and the money simply goes to meet the ex- oense of buying and planting.

CHAMBER WARNED
 ANENT COPPERSMITHS
St. Paul Commerce Organization Tells
 of Work of Travelling
Artisans.

The local Chamber of Commerce has received within the past few days a letter of warning from St. Paul. Minn., association of Chamber of Commerce regarding the activities and business methods employed by two travelling coppersmiths named Curion. in which 1t encourages the local chamber to inform its members to be aware if these fellows approach them in the quest of work.
 The missive however, states speci- fcally that it does not allege fraud or part of the men, it being their methods of doing business which it takes notice of and warns against. The fellows are said to be clever workmen. They usually approach owners of hotels and merchants who
 own copperware and ask to be given the job of placing it in first class shape. Given a piece of the ware, they do the work at a moderate rate, and the job as a rule is alright. Later they approach the same parties and ask for more work. Given it they exhibit a contract which states that for all new copper used a charge of $1.50 pound will be asked and when the bill is received the amount usually is of an enormous size. The fellows at the beginning plead ignor- ance, but when it comes to the time for the payment of their demanded amount they tenaciously exhibit the contract and the merchant has no other alternative than to pay.
