kETV II find that the MeXlcans CO.
Nv operate with us TO con-
siderable extent in our pre-
ventive work SAID DIR. ". c. Kluttz,
city health officer. Il have observed
that this is particularly true as re-
cards the present campaign against
typhus Not only do they submit to
the measures that we employ but work
with ms. u is harder to get them to
take precautions against small poN,
but this is probably for the reason that
they do not fear 10 TO the same extent
ttat they do some cher dangerous dis
eases"
While il will take a final count to
reveal Just what our tax collections
have been, 1 feel safe in Saying that
the collections this year have been
better than for several years past"

and collector. There is undoubtedly
a smaller percentage OF delinQuents
than for some time. I think the final
figures on our collections will be most
gratifying. as Indicating a condition Of
prosperity throughout the city"
This is the quietest week that the
police have experienced in a long While

ports that have been spread said po-
burglars seem afraid to move in view
Of the large number Of special police

our regular men where they do the
most good. and are ready to 90 on an
instant cali. Evidence that the city

Within a district covered by less
than ten city blocks over one and a half |
million dollars I'm real estate has
changed hands in III Paso within the !
last 80 days" said G. IT. Leavell This /
is one OF the most remarkable records !
that a city OF this size has ever pro- |
duced. Il would be creditable for ST /
Louis or Chicago. The business district 4
OF ri Paso is right now undergoing /
changes that are almost a remaking. !
This has been foreseen for a wear by /
many Of the best Judges Of city growth.
The residence district for five years i
had been expanding at a marvellous /
rate, while the business section had 1
been practically deadlocked i'm a con-
stricted area. When il did break loose /
things moved swift and fast 7 pre-
dict that more changes viii take place /
soon ana the entire business district
will be made over during the next
three years"
