 Mrs, Walter Dear Passes Away.
 Ih" March meeting Of the city conncil was held last evening and the lJ26 budget, which had been gone over thoroughly al an informal meeting Monday night, was formally approved. The appropriations au- 'horl@ed, after deducting probable receipts, totallcd $SS7,2GlqS, which amount is sub-divided as follows: General city, s765,QSG.44: first tax ing district. $l50,532 Sg; second tax ing district, $45499l; third taxing district $2,3S7,7t.
 The total of this years grand list is $iG47?4'l, and in the opinion of the members of the city council, the tax rate, although not definitely uNcd, will hc less than 9@ mills. This will mean d reduction Of approXi. mattly lU mills and although thr Na.u" of property has been raised considerably in the new list prcpar- cd ny he assessors, some taxpayers will pay less in taxes this year than last, In other cases the amount may h" slightly greater. II is estimated that the general city lax will not ex- reed lG Is mills as compared with = . mills for 1925.
