by every tax payer In the city of Or-
ange As will he seen, tf the total
amount of taxes due I* collected, the
fund t* wofully small aa compared
to the immense amount of work la tie
done, hence It Is very important that
every tax payer should promptly pay
his taxes slid &elp to bear hid share
of the burden of expeude. The pres-
ent city council is laboring earnest-
ly to place the streets of the city In
good condition, but they are badly
handicapped by a lark of fund* with
which to prosecute the work. Fire

mere pittance compared to the tre-
