BANK RECEIVER
GETS LARGE CHECK

II. H. Seldomridge. receiver for the
Mercantile National bank, thru his at
torneys, Adams and Cast yesterday re-
ceived a check for ST 1,542.S5 from the
First National bank or Kansas City in
full settlement of a SUIT won by the
attorneys against the pank.
The Kansas City bank accepted
securities from Coney C. Slaughter,
acting as cashier of the Mercantile
National and on these securities the
Kansas City bank advanced him
mercy. When it was discovered that
Slaughter had fled and the Mercantile
bank apparently wrecked, the Kansas
City bank appropriated a deposit of
about $4,000 belonging to the Mercan-
tile bank. 1t was contended by the
Kansas City bank that the deposit
should act as an offset for the funds
Slaughter had obtained from them.
Suit was then brought by Adams and
Cast, the matter being taken to the
.rcuit court of appeals where a de-
cision in favor of the Mercantile bank
was given. With the sending of the
check the case is now settled The
money received Will go toward the pro-
viding of another dividend for the de-
positors of the Mercantile bank.

WON'T. PAY FOR WORK
DONE ON A SUNDAY

Water commissioners and their depu-
ties to the number of four or five who
receive all or a part of their per diem
remuneration for irrigation work from
the county Of Pueblo. will not receive
remuneration during the winter months
for more than six days in the week
Recently the board of county COM
missioaers addressed a letter to c. w.
, Beach, division engineer of this irri-
sary that water commissioners and
their deputies work Sundays on the
bitches and headgates during the win
ter months, The reply was that such
service Is not necessary on Sunday, and
accordingly a resolution covering that
idea was introduced and adopted by the
county board at yesterday forenoon's
session.
The resolution provides that Pueblo
county will allow no bills for Sunday
service by water commissioners and
their deputies during December, Janu-
ary, February and March.
1t is well. known that there is Con-
siderable irrigating done in the months
every month in the year. but the board
sees no good reason why this county
should pay for Sunday services dur
ing the four months mentioned in the
resolution.
AS matters now stand regarding the
number of men enGa ged as officials in
irrigation in which Pueblo county is in
| terested financially, the provisions of

The increased levy for the general

The increase for the north and east
sides of the city will be 7 per cent,
and for the south side per cent.

be raised per cent on the valua-
ton of property, but it means if you
paid taxes to the amount of 500 this

or $3.50, depending on the location of
your property.
This difference in the different sec
tions of the city is due largely to the
lesser rate of levy in the park and
school districts. For example, school
district 20 on the south side Of the
Arkansas, has made its levy smaller
by 2.25 mills. Park district No. / comes
in with one mill more than last year.

The tax levy for 1921 shows snght
increase over the rate for 1920.
The state levy for 1921 is 4.35 mills,
as against SAT mills for 1920; an In
crease of 0SS mills.
The levy for county purposes is 11.o
mills for 1921, as against so mills for
1920; an increase of so mills This in
crease is mainly due to tine provisions
of the new general school fund law,
chapter PA, page III, session laws of
1921, whereby the county commission
ers are required to make levy, against
all taxable property of the county, not
to exceed five mills, to produce suffl-
cient funds to pay an school teachers
In the county a minimum salary OF $40
per month.
To produce the required amount for
this purpose, levy of 4.25 mills was
necessary, an increase of S.45 mills
over 1920, which was 0.S mills, and
which has been the rate for several
years past.
Other than the increase in the levy
for the general school fund, the coun-
ty levy increase is only 1.55 mills
The county had no election expense
in 1921, but IN this years levy the gen.
eral election expenses for next year
had to be taken into account. The
expense of the 1922 general election Is
covered in the 1.55 mills.
The Pueblo flood on June 8, last,
damaged the county approximately a

covers the s125, 900 spent an emer-

than foreign judiciary~she had a

classes aping English ways. This
treaty changed ali that, and its re:
lection meant the arrest of every pos

status with its real status and showed
that while Great Britain could nomi-

Canada was, in fact, supreme within

bitterly resented the action of a num-
