Company Tho debt Is composed of two
"Items of $tl,4(H.74 nnd $lo.40B. Th rlfEt
amount resulted through a. misunderstand

the reiiuest of Chief MaeLnughtln, who says
that tho electric company has expressed
willingness to relmburso the city.
Chief MnrLnughlln explained that lha
larger Item resulted from a misunderstand
ing. Tho city paid tho amount for tho
laying of cables, conduits nnd manhole.3
nlong the Parkway. The work should have
been bald for by the electric company.
Tho other Item, ho said, was for taxes
for the erection of street light poles nnd
regular yearly assessments. Chief Mae
Laughlln went on to say 2081 poles were
erected with arc lights, and It was Inter
preted Hint tho lights were the property
of the city and that no tax could bo levied

Is wrong. Five dollars should have been
collected for thp privilege of erecting the
poles, and cadi subsequent year a $l tax
charged.

Thrifty women long since learned that it paid them to buy their furs at our Annual January Reduction Sale.
The hundreds of women who attended the opening of our January Sale discoveredthat, in face of an abnormally
high fur market, the values we offer are more exceptional than ever before.
Such great inroads have already been made in our large and varied stock that this sale cannot last many days
more. But if you hurry, there. is still time to obtain furs that for Style, Quality and Workmanship cannot be equaled
at far more? than they now are priced.
