Tax Collector Smith announces that after 6 o'clock to-morrow evening the first and second installment of taxes for the present year will become delinquernt and an additional penalty of 5 per cent | will be added for non-payment thereof. Smith anticipates a large delinquency and | ascribes it to the fact that people are so busy making money that the little item of taxes has been entirely overlooked. The tax office is now about $200,000 behind what has been collected for the same period during the past two years, there being an actual delinquency at present of $400,000. There are some large prop- erty-holders among those who have not paid their taxes. Gl IR 9B FIREMEN ARE BUSY. | Members of the Department Taking Civil Service Examination. “How would you: carry a hose line to the roof of a four-story building without the use of a ladder or fire eseape?”’ This is a sample of the questions which staggered ninety of the members of the Fire Department at the civil service ex- amination for promotion held yesterday afternoon in the auditorium of the Girls’ High School. It was the first time that the fire-fighters had faced any such prop- osition and they could not grip a pén with half the ease that they could carry a hose battery into the top story of a burning building. As a result of the decision of the Civil Service Commissioners to give the fire- men an opportunity to rise to higher posi- tions through competitive tests, repre- sentatives from all of the companies in the city met to take the tests for pro- motion from fireman to lieutenant and from lieutenant to captain of a company. For three hours the gallant truckmen and stalwart enginemen grappled with the ten questions set before them with all the desperation of the man at the nozzle in the midst of a blind fire. At last when the auditorium began to darken with the shades of evening, the few remaining aspirants for advancement ‘rang out” and went home to await the decision of Supervisors for authorization to remove obstructions maintained by A. Boyle on Fourth avenue South, between L and M treets. Boyle claims title to a portion of the street. which, however, has been dedicated to publie use. The Hawaifan Fertilizing Company is erecting large structures on its property fronting the street named, to which aeeess is denied them by reason of the obstructions. Will Analyze Milk and Water. Chief Sanitary Inspector Hassler re- turned yesterday from San Mateo, where he collected samples of water and milk from two dairies suspected of being in- fected with typhoid- germs. Should the samples be found laden with the germs analyses will be made of a number of other samples from dairies not suspected. Aol ik Grand Jury Wants Money.
