The council met on Tuesday even- ing last for the regular > monthly meeting and struck the tax rate for the year, which will be Si. i1-2 mills or one half mill less than last year. This is the lowest tax rate of any vil- lage or town in the County of Huron The year before the .cement road was built the tax rate was 32 mills, since then the cement road .has been built, the new. continuation school built, the public school repainted and shingled and a new heating sys- tem installed in the public school and new up-to-date lavatories built for both schools and the grants have been so large that the, tax rate is a half mill lower than before these public works were started, so surely the men who started and were re- sponsible for these public improve- ments: were justified in their action and have given the rate .payers" of this village, a,,lower rate of taxes by these public improvements rather than as . claimed by some, at the time, the taxes would be so great that they couldn't live in the village.

The entire distance was covered by water with the exception of one portage of 400 miles from Celiio Falls, Washington ato Fort Benton, Montana. Their boat the "Transcontinental" is an 18 -foot craft, 5 feet abeam, and powered With two four horse power Evinrude outboard' motors. ' They left Astoria, Oregon, May 20, after having their boat shipped up the coast from Los Angeles.

After this • misadventure, 'which they finally weathered safely,' they had' comparativelyno bad hick, except for the tornadoes, heavy storms and risky runs down little-known rapids, which might naturally be expected, Their adventure is unique, the only attempt previously made being about 1^8 years ago when a similar expedition ended at Bismarch, North Dakota; after traversing the same route. Then, however, the advefl.• .curers were so held up by adverse conditions that they were ov.ertalren by winter and their boat wAt crushed in the ice.
