The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-03-30
On This
Occasion
Just q Few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

No assurances have as yet
been received that the bonds
voted by Ely for water and
light Improvement will be &C
cepted by the government. The
reason for this is that Ely, al
though in a class by itself in
the range towns, has been
tarred with the same stick in
the eyes of the PWA admins
traitors as the other towns and
cities of the ranges in regard
to the per capita limitations of
taxation of $1,000 existing in
the range towns.
The government has found
that some of the municipalities
on the ranges have lived up
to the limitation-and in some
cases overstepped the limit
and wants to know if bonds will
be paid when due. In view of
the existing conditions in many
of the towns, the government
should not be blamed for de-
handing proof that the issues
will not be defaulted.
Ely is not afflicted with this
habit and at no time has the
per capita limit in tax levies
ever been reached or anywhere
near it. The highest ever
shown in this city was in 1929
when the rate was $685. and
this was figured on the 1920
census and not on the 1925
school census. AS the city
charter holds the limit down
to 40 mills of assessed valua-
ton, the levying of the per
capita limit is impossible in
Ely. On the present valuation
our limit is 54.44 at the most.
Ely is penalized on account
of the excessive tax spending
of some of the range communi-
ties and it is hoped that the
penalty will be removed in time
to complete the water plant
when the season is favorable.
There will be several months
of "red tape" necessary before
the matter comes to a head and
we sincerely hope that this can
be Strengthened out in a short
time so as to permit the COM
pletion of the project this
summer.

The entire circuit is feeling the ef-

queen, which held.
The club suit was started, the ace

Four more rounds Of clubs were
taken. West let go three spades and
a diamond. Two hearts and dia-
mond were discarded from dummy
East dropped three diamonds and a
spade. The ace of spades was CASH
ed next, and West was forced to let
60 the nine of diamonds.
The declarer now led the deuce Of
clubs, which put the squeeze on both
East and West. West could not
release the queen Of diamonds, 50 he
dropped a heart. The jack of dia-
monds was discarded from dummy
and now East was squeezed.
He could not let 60 q spade, so he
was forced to drop a heart.
Declarer now was down to ace,
four, and deuce of hearts. Dummy
held jack of spades and king and six
OF hearts. OF course, both East and
West had been forced to bear down
to two hearts, SO all the declarer had
to do was to lead the four of hearts,
win in dummy with the king, return
a small heart to win with the ace,
and the deuce Of hearts won the
18th trick.
