GLAD TO PAY FOR DYESTUFFS

GLAD TO PAY FOR DYESTUFFS.

Locked at from the American point
of view. many domestic industries
would be glad to pay handsomely for
n thousand tons or more Of certain
dycstuffs. and II would not be surpris-
ing IL the resourceful Teutcns UNDER

Of direct trade.
Germany would be stili better repaid
IL she could carry on financial trans
actions in this manner and sell hero
the American securities which her
people hold.
OF course. the outside world knows
little about the details Of the German
underwater cargo boat just arrived,
and IL would be idle speculation to
try to guess any of them.
What Is undoubtedly certain Is that
the Teutons have had more experience
than any ether nation in the building
OF heavy oil motors for submarine
craft. and the wartime services of tho
Kaiser's U-bOats have given the Ger
man constructors a wealth of infor-
nation and decided advantage over
other maritime powers.
Therefore. II Ia not unlikely that
they could turn out very efficient oil

Is commonly imagined. The motors

ANNUAL REPORT OF
THE CITY CLERK
CONTINUED from page 100

Continued from page I'D
From the years 1907 to 1913 inclus-
i've CANYON county paid the city in
excess Of $50 as above set forth, the
sum of $ol9.66
We should have received the 1914
money or the sum of $4,000, not later
than the latter part Of 1915. l have
been advised by Deputy County Audi
tor Smell. that the city will receive pro-
per credit for this amount.
Previous to the year 1915 it has evil
IDENTIFY been the intention of the coun-
ty to pay the city at least 25% of the
levy for road purposes. For the year
1915 the present county officials have
adopted the plan of paying only Zo|oo
of the money realized on the road
levy. which plan seems to be within
the meaning of the law. AS all OF the
1915 taxes have not yet been paid, the
amount coming from the county tor
that wear cannot now be ascertained
l find upon examination of the pro-
ceedinQs of the Commissioners relat-
ing to the apportionment for the l9!l
and 1912 moneys that no intention IS
expressed therein, as to the percent
of road levy to be apportioned tor
those years. 1t appears from the SAID
records that the city received ESQ OF
both the road and bridge levy for each
of those years, or at least percentage
of the road money which equalled Lo30
of the road and bridge levy.
Covering the period OF time from
1907 to 1918 inclusive and also count
ing in the 1914 money, or $I93'D'
which has not yet been apportioned'
