TAX RATE IS ASSIZED FINALLY By a Vote 3 to 2, Council Fixes It Same as Last Year. Other Matter of Interest The tax-rate tor this year was settled finally Monday evening when Council by a vote of 2 to 3, fixed at 10 mills for the built up portion of town; 6 mills for the suburban portion, and 5 mills for farm land. This is the same as it was last year. Mr. Magee who so strongly favored a reduction in the tax rate at a previous meeting, took the same positiou Monday evening, and voted for 9, 5, , rate. Mr. Runyon voted with Mr. Magee, but they were in the minority by one, the 10, 6, 5, vote having been - supported by Deily, Giger and Yetter. Contrary to expectations there was no definite action taken in the matter of paving on Center Street. C..W. Miller, Ksq. appeared and presented J ,R. Fowler's certified check for $134.00, but inasmuch as the committee previously appointed had made no report, it was deemed advisable to carry the proposition over until a special meeting, when it will be taken tip. The matter of taxes was discus sed at considerable length, and Mr. Runyon, of the finance committee submitted a report setting forth what had been paid on the 1901 and 1902 duplicates. He then made a motion that Collector Miles Betz be instructed to sic in the Town Hall on the evenings of June 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, for the purpose of receiving back tax money. A report was received from the committee on the Fifth Street sew er in which the members stated that the Market Street sewer is inade- quate to carry off the sewage; that the Normal School and that section of town, can be carried into the proposed sewer thus relieving the one on Market Street; that the sewer will probably cost $8,ooo, and will carry five times as much as the Market Street sewer; that $200 has been guaranteed from private subscriptions, which to gether with sewer permits should reach $300. The committee is of the opinion that the La'nl Improve ment Co. will be greatly benefitted by said sewer, and if the company will contribute $1185 toward its construction and withdraw the suit growing out of the Oak Grove transaction, instituted against the town and pay the costs incurred, they a!! recommend the sewcr. peily moved thrt the Land Im provement Co. officers be invited to attend a special meeting to con sider the Filth Street sewer matter. The proposals for the sewer 011 East Third street from Spruce to Locust were tfext opened. The bids were: Reimard Bros., 260; 0. B. Mellick, $170; V. 0. Holmes & Son, $135.72, the latter being unanimously awarded the contract. Runyon moved, seconded by Giger, that the apparatus belong ing to the Good Will Fire Co. be taken by the Fire Chief, and that all such materials as are useful to to the Town be purchased. There was considerable other business of a minor nature disposed of, after which orders for bills pre sented were drawn and the meet ing adjourned. , The property of Mrs. Leverett, occupied by Geo. E. Iilwell, is be ing improved by the removal of the ice-house and putbuildings from the yard. M. MILLKISEN. Cashikr. BRILLIANT NUPTIAL EVENT. Win Mary Margaret Ferguson Wedded to Goorgo W.

Though changes have been going on in the Columbian office foi some time, we have said nothing about it, for the reason that it has been a slow process, and we did not care to speak of it until our plans were nearly completed. It was slow because we have been obliged to go on with our regular work all the time, notwithstanding the fact that the carpenters and plumbers and machinists were in possession. Though not yet completed, we are now in shape to invite attention to our improved plant. The leading feature of the chang es is the moving of the type-setting department to the third floor. This gives an additional room 25x75 feet. It contains all the type, cases, racks, imposing stones, aud every thing used in both the newspaper and job printing departments ex cept the larger presses. There are binding machines, foot-power per forate numbering machines, punching and round cornering machine etc. The room is light and airy, containing fourteen win dows. On the first floor, just back of Roys' jewelry store, is the store room, business office, stock roam, press room, and editorial depart ment. The stock of envelopes, cards, ruled goods, fancy programs, invitations, tags, aud everything in the printing line has been enlarged, and there is plenty of space to show them. Ladies will find here a pleasant room where they can make their selections. Our trade in en graved work has largely increased, aud orders are filled tor wedding invitations aud visiting cards at reasonable prices. Cards are print ed from old plates or new ones fur nished. In the press room are four job presses of the best makes and dif ferent sizes, the paper cutting ma chine, and job stones and stock tables. -A filth press is on the third floor. Back of the pressroom is the stock room. In the basement is the cylinder press where the newspapers are printed, the folding and mailing room, book binding room with a hrge standing press, more printing stock, and the steam heating plant that warms the entire building. A type lift runs from the basement to the third floor, on which the type forms are carried. The floors are all cemented and supplied with electric bells and speaking tubes, lighted by electricity, aud furnish ed with modern plumbing and conveniences. Five presses are run by a Backus water motor. Our entire floor space is about 5000 square feet, equivalent to a room 25 feet wide and 192 feet long. The Columbian Printing House, is now larger and better equipped than any other printing office in this section, and is fully equal to many city offices. A cordial invi tation is extended to the public to call and see a complete establish ment. It will give us great pleas ure to show visitors through our plant. Ood firmed Large Glass Right Rev.
