City Council Approves
Tax Levy of $246, $50
at Tuesdays Meeting

of $15,482 in Valuation

to Settle Rift.

The 1899 tax levy coIlectable in
1910 totaling S246, $50 as approved at
recent council meeting will remain
as it is, it was decided at the regu-
lar session of the city governing body
held Tuesday evening.
This action was taken after the
council had considered information Just
received by City Assessor Fred James
from the state tax commission and the
county auditor on valuations within
the city.
Valuations have been set at s6,I33,-
l52, decrease of SIS, 482 over the 1888
figure and approximately $4,000 less
then the total estimated by the city.
This may mean that about 81 200 will
have to be trimmed off the levy 10 stay

charter, unless recheck expected 70

covers valuations overlooked.
The total decrease in valuations was
S74,179, but increases cut this figure
considerably. Among the increases, only
a part of which was itemized, was one OF
S20,695 in mineral valuations.
Taxable valuations on the North and
South Chandler properties were cut
$4,000. A valuation of sl2,75O was
placed on the old dump, however, which
is now being salvaged. The valuation
on the North Chandler was reduced
from $4,000 to $1,000, and the South
Chandler from $4,000 to $1,000.
trimmed s30-983. This and the Chand-
Ter items accounted for the greatest
share of the decrease.
After considering the levy in the
committee of the whole, members Of the
council and the mayor voted to approve
it as previously compiled with the ex-
ception of Councilman Archie HedIoff
who voted no because it was his opinion
that the $4,000 levy made for the Com
merical club should be stricken. He'd
loft also stated that he felt several
other isems should be trimmed.
II the county auditor found he would
have to cut the levy 81 200, Hedloff
stated he was afarid the amount might
be taken from the general fund and
that he would not approve making the
reduction there.
Inc lengthy argument over organi-
zation Of the municipal band and who
shall control it apparently was ended
by the council making it a matter of
record that Director Frank v. DiNino
is official head of the band" John
Debeltz, Joseph Milkovich and Frank
Vranesich refused to vote on the motion.
1t was pointed out to Arthur Buraglio

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations ON Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The newly elected Eyeleth mayor,
Richard c. Floyd, has issued an ulti-
matum that "au applicants for either
full or part time positions with the city
must file written applications specifying
the position or alternate position they
are seeking copy must be sent to
each councilman-elect and to the
mayor-elect." 1t is very evident that
this move is made to curb the activities
of "gum-Shoe" applicants from contact
ing individual officers and bring
promised jobs which later cannot be
filled when the whole council body acts
on them.

Some Of the towns in the southern
part of the state are bemoaning the fact
that they are "corseted" in 50-foot lots
and believe that in time they will have
to be rebuilt in more open fashion.
The average range city has no 50-foot
lots and are corseted in 25-foot spaces,
with acre values placed thereon. And
yet some of the southern towns be-
wailing their 50-foot lot size fail to
consider that one the tax rolls these
are assessed at only about half our
25-foot lots. And what is more dis
concerning to range residents is the
fact that these southern Minnesota
