COMING A RUMBLING

Report is going the rounds
that not a few of the taxpayers

with the Board of Equalization
several days more than the re
gular three will be required to
complete the equalization.
The Council has not set the
tax rate on the assessment which
throughout the town. If taxes
has been quite generally raised
are held at one per cent to one
and one-half per cent, actual
tax income will not exceed pre
vious assessments, but with an
assesment that is more generally
fair in that the assessor did not
have any taxpaying pets and all
were assessed according to his
information and understanding
of values.

WORTH REMEMBERING
-o
Arthur Brisbane,Hearst’s right
bower, says: American patriots
will cross their fingers remem
bering the last naval conference
in Washington, when this coun
try destroyed hundreds of mil
lions of real battleships, some
partly finished, while Britain
with a magnificent gesture,
burned interesting, but inex
pensive blueprints of ships that
might be built, some day, per
haps.
David Buick who gave his
name to the Buick car died at
the age of 74 years a poor man.
He was a wealthy manufactur
er of plumbingg supplies. In
1901 he sold out his business to
experiment with a “horseless
car.’’ After two years he put his
car on the market but it had
cost him his fortune. His com
pany was reorganized by others,
only his name being retained.
Several ventures failed him so
he turned to teaching in a De
troit trade school. Daily he saw
flashy cars bearing his name go
swiftly by him while he trudged
to and from his work. As if fate
were not satisfied with forcing
him into poverty, he became a
victim of cancer in his last years
v. hich finally caused his death.
