The city authorities a few days ago
let the contract to a Memphis firm to
rebuild the city water tank atonce. 1t
is promised that work will begin as
! quickly as material can be sent here
and the tank completed at the very ear
Hest possible date. The frame sup
porting the tank will be raised Is feet
higher than the old one and high grade
metal tank put up, giving far better
water pressue over town than was ever
furnished by the old one. This will be

Miss Todd, of Humboldt, was here
few days last week looking over the
tax assessments of the county for the
new tax authorities of the state under
the new revenue law enacted by the
last legislature. The Falcon has not
been able to get any definite informa-
ton as to the effects the new assess
ment law will have on Fayette county
assessments, but from information got
ten from reports made by the investi-
gators already sent into other counties
it is believed that the assessments in
this county are not far from the aver
age of assessments over the state, and
hence it is concluded that the figures
in this county will not be very much
changed from tn Sc made yearly by
the County Assessor. The Board at
Nashville has announced that it will
NOT attnmnt tn do ANYTHING with tho
assessments for 1918, but will have all
ready for handling the 1919 figures un-
der the new law.
