growers are overlooking a source of
profit by allowing great numbers of

to waste annually in the growing dis

circular on the subject. A careful
investigation was made by the bu-

pairing several excellent food pro-

disposed of at a profit to the grow

City Tax Roll Is
Completed; Last
Session Monday

Council has practically completed
equalizing the new tax roll and will
finish up few minor details at a
meeting to be held Monday night
The new roll shows an assessment
of about $6,COO,OOO, and this, with a
10-mill assessment, will give more
money for operating expenses than
the city has ever realized from taxes
before. Another very important
source of revenue now which it is
believed will make it possible to put
the millage still lower, is that from
the water plants. During the last
few months all of the city's expenses,
practically, have been paid by reve-
nue. from the waterworks.
