HURLEY'S TAX X
RATE IS $2.1O
Total Assessed Valuation Fixed at
S5,334, 030.61; Council Makes
Levies of $31 ,954I9.

The board of review having com
pleted its labors and the tax rate for
1928 having been fixed, City
Treasurer f. Nj. Reible announced
yesterday that he will be prepared
to issue tax receipts commencing
next Monday This week he has
been busy getting the roll ready and
expects to have it completed by
next Monday.
The tax rate in the city of Hurley
for 1928 is $40 per hundred dollar
valuation, the lowest in the history
of the city, Since the city was
incorporated the rate has been
around $3.50, this being the rate last
year.
But, even though the rate is much
lower, the increased valuation will
almost make up the difference. The
valuation of all property in Hurley
for 1923 is almost double what it has
been in years past The board of
review fixed the total valuation at
$5,S34, 030.61, which is close to the
total valuation fixed by Mr.. Bubar
in his re-assessment. II is under
stood that the board at one time
considered the matter of cutting
Mr.. Bubar's figures about so per
cent, but in its final decision voted
to leave the assessment at about the
same as made by Mr.. Bubar, making
a few changes in the assessment of
property on Silver street.
AT special meeting of the council
Thursday evening it was voted to
extend the tax paying time to March
l, and the following levies were
made:
For water works bonds
and interest ......$ 5,12450
For sewer bonds and in
terest ........... $4,000

apprised the fire had been put out
and they swung back to the depart

hit the Ford car driven by Mrs. Thos.
Ray of North Colorado avenue. The
car was pretty badly damaged and
the hose rig of the Santa Fe also lost
a lot of spokes in the crash. Mrs. Ray
and little Evelyn Vaughn had parked
their car near the corner just before
the Santa Fe rig happened along and
the cart swung too wide at the cor
ner, striking the back of the car, cav
ing it in.

WINSLOW BOYS
HAD SKOOKUN
TINE At CAMP

Thirteen Winslow boys returned
Sunday and Monday from the Boy
Scout summer camp, Camp Mogollon,
on the bank of Lake Mary. They re-
turn more than ever imbued with the
spirit of Scouting, and a stronger de-
termination to win the prizes and re-
wards that will carry them into the
higher grades.
The two weeks at camp did not con-
sist of play and sports by any means.
which for the first few days proved
OF momentary disappointment to the
lads, but as the instructors lined them
up for the daily routine of study, ex-
ercises and preparations for tests,
with limited time each day for
swimming, boating, fishing and hunt
ing, the time passed all too rapidly
and proved an experience that not one
of them would have missed for the
world
The progress made during the four
teen days equalled the progress that
would have been possible by two
years of ordinary weekly meetings.
Most of the boys left Winslow in the
tenderfoot rank. All returned at least
secondclass Scouts, and one or two
advanced into the higher ranks. Clyde
Brady, The Nails devil, earned the
highest number of merit badges, eight,
which makes him Life Scout He
has 13 more merit badges to earn to
become an Eagle Scout, the highest
rank in the organization, and one diff
ficult to attain, inasmuch as one of the
merit badges must be earned by saw
ing human life.
A number of Winslow people motor
ed to Camp Mogollon Sunday to see
the Scouts in camp and at their re-
ligiOus services.
The boys in attendance from here
were Robert Fussel, David Parker,
Parr Lancaster, Clyde Brady, Ted
Clark, Jack Hines, Gregory Hines,
Paul Vador, Dick Trimbie, Dennis
Sweeney. George Jackson, Max Hath

The Winslow team on Thursday
made their final decision about the
next Sunday baseball game. There
was some uncertainty about the mat

the Winslow team, has profited by the
changes. The management of the
baseball team says that the game
promises in every way to be an inter
esting affair from the standpoint of
good baseball and one deserving of
patronage of baseball lovers.

LEGION WILL AID IN
FILING APPLICATIONS

Complete information and data rel
ative to making out applications for
adjusted compensation under the re-
Gently enacted law have been recefs :
ed, and the Winslow American Legion
post, through it's officials and COM
mittee appointed for the purpose, are
actively engaged in aiding ex service
men properly to fill out the required
papers.
The questions answered by the gov
ernment must be answered briefly and
correctly Especially the dates of en-
listment and discharge must be cor
rect, and the serial number of appli-
can't A set of instructions are sent
out with each application, but it Of
ten happens that instructions, al
though clearly given, are misunder-
stood, hence the desire of the Legion
to supplement the written instructions
with personal advice and aid.
The Legion meets each Monday eve
mig in the city hall to make out pa
pers, and all eX-service men, members
or nOn-memberS of the Legion will be
helped 1t is advised that in no case
shall an applicant correspond with
the department at Washington. If
anything is in error on his applica-
ton, the department will get in touch
with him, but with five and half
million applications to file, correspon-
dence will of necessity be slow, and
therein lies the need for caution in
properly making answers.
Should an ex-service man be unable
to attend the Monday evening meet
ings of the Legion he may, through A.
r. Kleindienst at the postoffice, Sc
cure help in making out his papers.
Material is on hand for taking the
fingerprints, which is demanded in
one of the items
The Legion committee in charge of
this work is Joe Lieberman, COM
mander; A R. Kleindienst, adjutant,
and R. c. Rhoades. 1t is hoped that
those ex-soldiers who do fill out
their own applications will submit
them to the committee for inspection
before forwarding to Washington.
And it is asked that all applications
be made out and O. KID before July
31st Doing this will expedite the
work of getting the bonus law into
operation.
Where an ex-soldier has died since
the end of the war, his dependents
may make out application, and the
payments will be made to the deceas-
eds estate. There are several such
cases in Winslow, and the commit
tee named above will also aid in these
cases.
