meeting last evening at the church.

tions of the church were heard. Par
ticularly pleasing was the report of

much work toward improvement of
the furnishings of the church and
many outside activities.

gratifying as it indicated that the
financial condition of the church is
excellent. One elder was reelected

to be member of the session of the

ed as an elder the past year
Following the reading of the reports
and the election of officers delicious
refreshments were served by the ladies
in the church annex. A vote of
thanks was extended the ladies for
their work throughout the year in
securing new furniture, especially car

being much noticed and appreciated
last evening.
Trustees elected were, S. P. Apple

license a check of the cars parked
in the business district yesterday in
dicated that not more than one out
of five have made application.
The plates do not arrive as soon
as the application is made but they
arrive very soon afterward and, the
law says, must be on the cars by
February l. A peculiar thing about
the check Of cars parked in the
business district yesterday was that it
revealed that there are many cars
bearing California licenses, in the
city.
These cars probably belong to Cali
fornians who have gone to Arizona
on sight seeing trips or, possibly, for
change OF climate as, they say,
there is fog on the coast occasionally.
On the other hand, it was pointed
out by officers last evening, that some
of these cars might possibly belong
to Arizonans who believe that by
sending to California ane securing
license plates from that state they
can avoid paying the Arizona taxes.
Deputy sheriffs quote instances OF
this nature which have come to light
y
bought California license. His car
was stolen. He went to officers and
asked them to hunt for his car.
They asked him for his license num-
ber. He gave it up. They explained
to him that having done business
with California when he wished to
avoid paying taxes they would be
pleased if ne would ask the California
officers to find his car for him. That
man bought his Arizona license.
Officers state that purchasing a
California license no more complies
with the Arizona, law than hanging
an empty bottle on the car would.
All cars within the state bearing
licenses of other states are registered
early each year and their owners are
marked up so that any having at
tempted to evade taxes by buying
cheaper license elsewhere are event.
ually brought forward to cnange their
plates.
