ARREARS OF TAXES, ‘The report says: “The arrears of taxes subject: to the benefit of payment with 6 per centum in- terest, in leu of higher rate of interest and pen- alty, are being paid tn, and the interest manifested by the demand for bills tor delinquent taxes indi- cates that a large reentage of the amount (600,000) to which this privilege of payment 1s accorded will be collected before the 30th of No- vember, when the opportunity expires; so that, with elimination from the debit. statement of accounts clearly exempt from taxation levied and charged on church, asylum, school, United States, and District of Columbia properties, the amount due the District for taxes will be reduced to a very small sum,” —EE—S ‘Teaching the Indians, WHAT SUPERINTENDENT RILEY SAYS ABOUT THE WORK—THE LACK OF ACCOMMODATIONS. Superintendent of Indian Schools Riley,1n speak- ing to a Stan reporter about his work during the past year, said that the unfortunate that the Government has not buildings enough to accommodate more than one-half of the Indian children who would attend school.

He hopes that his estimates for thesurveying service for the coming year will meet with favorable coneidera- ‘Uon, as there are many fertile valleys yet unsur- veyed, and bona fide settlers are almost daily peti- toning for surveys. “There 1 evidence accumu. lating,” continues the report, “that the survey of 8 lange block of land gurveyed under. the deposit system for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad has Deen carelessly done, if not criminally instigated. It has been notoriously commented upon by settlers on this tract during the past year that the wutering places are almost entirely on the railroad sections.
