Sells Gas Plant for Delinquent Tax

Webster City, Iowa-The Web
ster City gas plant, municipality
owned will be offered for sale at
public auction at the Hamilton coun-
ty court house here December 5,
according to the delinquent tax list
Just published here. The delinquent
tax is $1,444.50, which, with interest
of S130.40, makes a total of S1,574.90.
The proposition is considerably
scrambled from a legal standpoint.
The city of Webster City took pos
session of the gas plant June l, 1920.
In October of the same year, it is
said, the gas company furnished the
city a deed to the property warrant
ing it to be free from all indebted
ness and guaranteeing title.
1t now develops, however, that the
taxes flor the year 1920 were unpaid.
The city having bought the property

average of not less than SO per

In many respects many good re-
suits have come from the tire in
dustry slump in Akron. One clear
evidence is that 1t has taught em-
ployers not to be reckless or ex.
traVagant, as in the past. 1t has
eliminated the transient and unde.
sirable element of labor, and has
produced greater efficiency in fac
tory work.
The slump has given Akron time
to catch up with herself in civic
Improvement. No city can increase
In population from $4,000 to 2Os.-
600 in ten years and have civic de-
velopment keep pace with indus
trial growth and population In
crease. Nearly $75,000,000 worth
OF public improvements are con.
templated. Boulevards and hum
dreds of miles of paved streets are
to be built. The city has created
a planning commission which Is
arranging an extensive program OF
civic improvement and city beauti-
fication 1t has purchased 700
acres of land for public park. It
is increasing its hospital facilities,
widening its main thoroughfares
planning new postoffice Is
erecting new hotels and is also
planning three new theaters. In
addition there are many home-,
building programs under way.
In short, Akron has had time to
catch her breath again and will be
a better and cleaner city to live in.
