j. T. Harbin, the well known
blacksmith, has invented a pat
ent clothes reel that is most
meritorious. IL permits of low.
ering the line to place the clothes
and simple device raises them
well out of the way. He has
already secured a number of or
ders, and is taking more right
along. The ladies are greatly
pleased with the reel, and Mr..
Harbin bids fair to make a for
tune out of the ingenious inven-
tion.
In reply to Mr.. Minors state
ment in last weeks issue, in
which he says he paid more tax
es after st. Johns was n part of
Portland than he did before.
This comparison is unfair for
the reason that before st. Johns
was taken into Portland. st. |
Johns had no city government. |
Ii as just plain old country farm
land and rather rough and un-
productive at that. | would like
to ask Mr.. Minor in all fairness
to compare what he pays after
plating in taxes now or any
time when the st. Johns govern
ment was formed as against
the tax rate in Portland today. |
The Portland rate is lower than
st. Johns and valuation in st.
Johns are as high or higher than
any other district that is as far
out as we are and in any event
the valuations are given us by a
county official and are suppos.
ed TO be equitable. and il not il |
is up to the County officials not
.he city to adjust them. d. c.
