UNCLE WIGGILY's LETTER

Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy was
going away for few days 20 see
her sister, who was forelady musk
rat in a elothespin factory, where
she gnawed the long slit in the pin
that holds it on the line.
"And while / am gone, Uncle
Wiggily, " said Nurse Jane as she
packed her bag and looked to see
if her best umbrella had any holes
in it, "while I'm away [ want you
to write me letter.
Write you a letter-when you
aren t going to be gone more than
three .days!' cried the bunny gen
tleman, ltwinkling his pink nose
" What S the idea2'
"Oh, it's so jolly to get letters
when you re awayl" laughed Nurse
Jane.
"All right-anything 10 be
kind" agreed Mr.. Longears. But
what in the world can l write
abouts Nothing much can happen
here in the three or four days you
VIII be gone.
Write me about my goldfish
and my rubber plant, - said Nurse
Jane. II shall be very lonesome
without them. You can write me
letter and tell me all about them -
'Oh, very well, - said Uncle
Wiggily with sigh, for he WASH t
very keen ON writing letters. "I1l
tell you all about the goldfish and
the rubber plant"
With a happy sigh of content

Paris Claims to
Handle Traffic
Systemati cally

Is
Announcement recently by cabA
dispatches from Paris that traffi.
in that city was handled more ex.
peditiouslys than in New York
Chicago and Los Angeles, caused a
smile on the part of traffic experts
in@this country. 1t was stated that
the astonishing number of 5000 au-
tomohiles passed a certain point in
so hours and were handled without
trouble or confusion.
The, smile comes when it is fig
ured that the crowded Paris corner
handled 3,S4S vehicles a day, while
a crowded Los Angeles corner
handles easily a dozen times this
number and then has cars to spare.
Another thing the investigating
French commissioner apparently
forgot to consider, is the fact that
in Los Angeles county alone there
are as many motor vehicles on the
streets as there are in the entire
country of France.
Tt is estimated that every motor
vehicle IN France, approximately
100000 could pass the intersect1ch
of Figueroa and Adams street, IN
Los Angeles, where the Automobile
Club of Southern California main
tains headquarters, in approximate
ly a week at the present rate OF
vehicular traffic at this corner.

INSTALLMENT DUE
ON INCOME TAX
ON SEPTEMBER is

Collector of Internal Revenue Rex
&. Goodeell warned taxpayers vest
terday that the third instalment of
income tax must be paid not later
than September 10, or become delin-
quent. Under the law, when any
instalment is unpaid when due then
the entire tax becomes due and pay
able, plus a penalty of per cent
and interest on the unpaid balance
at the rate of per cent per month.
Due to the p per cent reduction,
however, only three quarters of the
amount of the original instalment
is due on September Is. If the June
ID instalment was paid in full Chat
is, the same amount as that paid on
March l5) only one-fourth of such
instalment will be due ON September
l5. In other words, seventy-five
per cent of the tax liability, less
the same proportionate part of the
% per cent reduction, must be paid
by September 10.
The bills forwarded by Collector
GOodcell's office show the amount
of outstanding balance, and if only
one-half of the June Is installment
was paid, then one-half of the a.
mount shown outstanding is due. If
the June Is instalment was paid in
full, without any reduc tion, then
only onefourth of the amount
shown outstanding, on the bill for
warded,'need be paid.
Collector Goodcelr stated that
many taxpayers are paying the full
amount shown outstanding upon the
bills forwarded, thereby closing
their accounts for the year and re-
lieving themselves of the necessity
of making arrangements to make
any payment in December.
: '"No provision is made in the in
ternal revenue laws for the exten-
sion of time on any instalment due
in the calander year 1924" said
Collector Goodcell, "and have no
but to assess the penalty
if payments ,are delinquent.

CITY COUNCIL ORDERS
SURVEY OF CITY TO
PREPARE DRAINAGE
NAss MEETING THURSDAY MITE
DISCUSSES DRAINAGE
PROBLEMS

The mass meeting called by the
itown board last Thursday evening to
discuss means OF improving the con.
idition Of our streets, drew large
and interested crowd to the court
house and the matter was discussed
from all angles.
Short talks on the subject were
given by principal business men of
the city and the different methods of
Improving them and the manner of
financing the improvements were
brought up and discussed. All agreed
that the streets are in need of atten-
ton but the methods of financing the
proposition drew good deal of fire.
1t was finally decided that the best
way to proceed was to begin right at
the bottom and then there would be
"a foundation to work from. 1t was
thought best to hire a surveyor to
come to Holyoke and make a com.
plete plat of the streets rather than
to put in curbing blindly and run the
chance of having it put in the wrong
location and incurring a lot of extra
expense. It was found that the town
could be surveyed and plated for
S250.06 by a Denver firm and the
Board has contracted with this firm
for a complete map of the town to be
made in the near future.
After the surveys are completed.
then the Board will know positively
what is needed for drainage and can
proceed in an intelligent manner.
Heretofore 1t has been largely guess.
work and the unusually wet season
last year caused lot of unlocked for
damage to the streets and incon.
yenience to the property owners in
some parts OF the city.

REX C. EVANS PURCHASES
THE SCOTT AGENCY

| A business deal of considerable
moment was transacted last Satur-
day when Rex c. Evans purchased
The Scott Agency from A. G. Scott.
(which includes the abstract books,
insurance and real estate business of
the firm, taking possession from the
first OF March. The consideration
was given at. S65OO.00.
Mr.. Scott has been closing his af-
4 fairs the past two weeks, having ac-
cepted business opportunity at Ft
Collins, and while he intended to re-
tain his business interests here, he
had no intention OF returning to Hol-
yoke to reside.
Mr.. Evans has obtained the service
OF Ivan Correll to care for his alb
stract and insurance business as his
duties as County Clerk will not per-
init him to give much of his time to
the new business. Mr.. Evans is not
a novice at the business, however
as he was in the abstract and insur-
ance business in Holyoke before be-
ing elected to the office he now holds.
His success is assured.
1t is regretted that Mr.. Scott is
leaving Holyoke as he has been one
of our most progressive young b1si-
ness men and he and Mrs. Scott are
among. the most popular couples In
the social life OF the city. Mr.. Scott
left Tuesday to take up his new dut-
les, Mrs. Scott remaining to finish
