The peril of trying to get money in
any other manner than earning it,
was illustrated locally this week when
young man of good personality and
above the average in natural ability
and education, was taken to the county
bastile for forging a check. While
the amount was comparatively small
the infraction of the law was as COM
plete as though the amount had run
into the hundreds, and the young man
is in mess of trouble. The old adage
that Honesty is the best policy" holds
good in this age as in every other.

Prepare Annual
 Personal Tax List
6O,OOO Believed Liable for Yearly Assessment, AZ
 though Index Has Not Been OficiaIIy Checked

Preparation of the 1892 personal tax list is now being completed. 1t was stated to-day at the city aalI. Enumeration of the persons in the city liable for the personal tax was conducted during the past eight weeks and now the final steps in indexing the new names obtained is taking place. This work is nec- essary, 1t was pointed out, so that when the board of finance sits within few days to begin budget work a tentative and nearly defi- nite idea of the income to be ex- pected from thies source will be available so that the figure may be set up in the 1892 estimated re- sources.
 It is estimated roughly at this time that the enumerators have turned in about 60,000 names of persons who are liable for personal taxes. Of course there are many Implications and, also, there are many who are exempt under the various provisions of the law gov erning the payment of poll taxes.
 Therefore, the employees of the registrars ofiice are now going over the new names, comparing the new list with the old one and setting up an index that is expected to be practically perfect.
 When the index has been conn pieted, the total number of names on the list will be taken and then

Members of the three platoons of the local police department may now proceed with their plans for observing Thanksgiving, Christ mas and New Years eve. If they had any worries as to what hours they would be working on such tm- portant festive occasions their minds may now be set at lease" and how!
 Contrary to all expectations there will be no changes in the po- lice department next Sunday morn ing, November 1st. Everybody is to remain ''as is," although it is possible that Superintendent Jo- seph H. Mclean may approve of a number of exchanges between men who have been negotiating for shifts from the afternoon to the morning platoons.
 The fact that the superintendent has announced that the quarterly changes affecting street men, switchboard operators and desk officers, which was scheduled to take effect October 1st and then postponed until November. would not be made this year. About fifty per cent of the boys will hear these tidtngs with no nttle pleasure anu the other fifty per cent will prob- ably provide substantial reasons for adopting a few resolutions when the first of the new year comes around. The fact that no changes will be made means also that the members of the motor patrol will continue on their pres ent arrangement of hours.
