Third street and VanEps avenue,
went to the rescue and caught the
Thomas boy by the hair. The burden
proved too great for the would be
rescuer, and both boys started to go
down. The Conron boy was forced
TO loosen his hold and swim ashore.
and his companion went down sec
ond time The attention of Wesley
Shipton, on shore, was directed to
the boys. Mr.. Shipton went TO the
scene in motor boat and seized the
Thomas boy as he was going under
the water for the third time. Neither
boy was any the worse for his ex-
perience this morning.

PRESENT TAX LAWS

"The better condition you keep your
property in the more taxes you have
to pay or in other words. the more
public spirited you are in making your
home surroundings beautiful, the high
er your assessment will he
This statement was made by County
Assessor Matthews today in explaining
the fallacy of the present system. I'm
der the present system, he said. condi-
tions like these have to exist and
there is mo way out"
AS an illustration, Mr. Matthews
said that automobiles are rated at
what they appear to be worth. An au-
tomobile, covered with mud and ap-
pearing from the outside to be almost
worthless, might be entered for S100
while in point of value it may be worth
s2,500
"In cases like this" said Matthews,
"a man is punished for keeping his au-
tomobise looking good. 1t is also true
with house. A dilapidated house is
not assessed at the value of a well
kept house on which money has been
spent to keep in condition. In addi-
tion to being required to pay money
to keep house in a good condition,
the property owner also has to pay
additional tax"

MOOSE LODGE
BUYS MILLER
FAMILY HOME

The J. F. Miller home on
North Tenth street was pur-
chased this morning by the
Moose lodge for a home. The
price was $4,000. Extensive
repairs will be made before the
lodge moves in. This action was
decided upon at the installation
meeting last night. Twelve ap-
plications were received last
night. These, with forty-four
others, will be initiated on
April "a.
The trustees of the lodge, Ben
jamin Price, Nathan White and
F. M. Whitesell, have had charge
of the transaction. Because of
several other important matters
that are under way, the lodge
will probably not get into it's
new home before the first of the
year, Albert Morel said this
morning.
