CLERK TEMPLE RESIGNS, ELDER 16 AlTOLVTEl) Tuesday evening at the regular meeting of th city council, City Clerk Temple tendered his resignation, which was aceepted and O. E. Elder appointed and confirmed to fill the va cancy. Mr. Temple's action had been decided upon some time ago, and was brought about by the pressure of much other business In the real es tate and insurance lines and his duties as secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. He was appointed clerk July 2, 1907, and has by the votes of the people since been retain ed. That he has made an efficient and courteous clerk cannot be galn sayed. The appointment of Mr. Elder means that the office has fallen in the hands of one who is well qualified to succeed Mr. Temple. He is one of our most painstaking citizens, has ex cellent clerical ability, Is very cour teous in his business transactions, and his office In the Keith theatre is easi ly accessible during business hours.

' hundred nnd fifty of theso notices will bo sent out, to owntirs of cars, and iu addition to theso who will bo served 1 with notices thoro aro fifty or moro who paid tho tax boforo notices were issued. It Is therefore ovldent that there are not loss than eight hundred cars in Lincoln county. ! On tho basis of n population of 17, 000 people in tho county, there is a car owned for each twenty-one people. Figuring that each car cost tho owner 1 ten dollars per month for gasoline, tiros and upkeep and the average 13 none too high automombllos cost tho people practically one hundred thous and dollars a year. This docs not in clude the item of depreciation, which I Is anywhere from $50,000 to $100,000 a year, figuring tho life of a car at five years, which is generous. Seventy-eight counties reporting to Secretary Berneckor of the State Board 1 of Assessment show that money raised by taxation for all purposes, which Includes state, city, school and all , taxes needed to run all departments of state and municipal government, ! amount to $20,083,561. This amount I nearly equals the total amount raised I by the entire counties of tho stato last year, which was $20,405,437. While the stato tax is 1 mill lower than last i year, county and municipal taxes aro higher. i j John Ross, of the Birdwood section, filed a complaint In tho county court Wednesday against Mr. and Mrs. I Floyd Edwards and Cyrus Nunn charg j Ing them with robbing him of four , teen dollars.
