It is probable that no one living
in the county recalls a killing frost
as late as June 18th, such as visit
us last Sunday morning. For
tunately, the damage done was not
wholesale, and while few lost all
the garden they had, such cases
were very rare. Here at Monterey
there were no losses. though plenty
of frost. The usual freaks marked
the late call of the little imp,
"some being taken and the other
left" and when we say that this is
consoling,it is not without SYM
pathy for those who did lose, but
because those who escaped will be
in shape to help them out when
the harvest time comes.

Exception of a few bruises he is all

MAKE BIG WORCESTERSHIRE
SCHOOLS SAVE THE DAY.

Ottawa taxes drop eleven cents this
year, according TO figures compiled
today by Deputy County Clerk Robert
Smith, and tax expert Miss Nellie
Maher, the rate for 1917 being $903
as against $9.l4 in 1916.
The news while cheering to the
average tax payer SHOWS, however,
that people of the locality retain the
distinction OF being the highest taxed
class OF any OF the larger cities in the
county, notwithstanding there Is an
appreciable reduction under last year
in the amount they will have to pay
when the collector opens his books.
The district schools. which include
the graded institutions of the city.
are all that saved Ottawa from get
ting into the maximum class. 4 cut
in the high school rate OF twenty-five
cents, was a material aid in bringing
about reduction In 1917,
The state rate Is raised from 80 to
90 cents. while the county makes
leap from 70 cents to $l05. The st ltc
increase. according to statements
given out at Springfield. is caused by
a depleted treasury, while the county
excess Is traced directly to the
s92.sl3 appropriated tor the Ivy Way
and $77.G0o appropriated for the tu'
Derculosis sanatorinm. While the
maximum county rate is fixed by law
at Is cents, the cost OF the new hos
pital and unpaid indebtedness on the
Detention Home are placed under 4
special tax, permitted by statute
With the road appropriation the legal
dimit is held at 75, but the extras
caused by the sanatorium and Dettn
.tion Home are borne by mill tax
proposition, not included in the gen
eral tay scheme.
City taxes are increased from 2.2'
10 2.39 by the issuance OF $4,000 IL
bonds for the s. T. King annex to Ry
burn Memorial hospital. Al lnat W
tawa is under La Sale. Peru and Og
lesby on It's city rate. but not as 10"
as Streator, where the rate is y
cents lower than here.
The road and bridge tax remains
the same as in 1916. while the town
ship tax Jumps four cent over las
year.

list showing what each departmen
