LITTLE KIDDIES ON NORTH SIDE HANG SOCKS FOR SANTA Under the provisions of a new state law and the a*, tion of the Endicott vil lage board at a special meeting held last Friday. Village Treasurer David % Lewis will be empowered! to collect the $8,100 now overdue in village taxes for the year 1930. The new law which takes effect on January 1st states that villages by order of the controling board may take action similar to that vested in counties and thus insure the collection of taxes by the same method as that used by the county, treasurer. Mr. Lewis said this morning on or about the 13th of this month he will advertise for sale, all prop erties on which the 1930 tax h not been paid at that Sjjte. Taxe& may be paid at his cjjee before that date, the owfi£era*:iricuTring no other expense than tie custom ary over-due interest, jspfter the sale notice has becnjpublished, however, Mr. Lewis- safii/a great deal of added expense t^in be in curred to the tax-payer hi re deeming his property. The cost of advertising, costs of the action and incrued interest will* add ma terially to the original tax charge, he said.

At nine o'clock, after what had seemed hours to the kiddies, the doors opened and bulging stock ings greeted their sight as they rushed to the fire-place and each selected his stocking. Oranges, nuts and candies protruded from the open tops and the kiddies laughed and shouted in glee as they devoured the dainties. Strangely enough none of them wondered at the dexterity of old Santa in descending the grimy chimney but were content in the knowledge that concrete evidence of his visit was on hand. Under the direction of Miss Gertrude Crowe and tile other Li brary attaches, the youngsters who were selected from the kin dergarten and the first grade °f the North Side school sang Christmas carols and were t«W stories of the origin, of Christ mas. To many it was the first real Christmas 'ihey- had ever ex perienced and their happiness, and unspoken gratitude was more than ample compensation for the labor and expense whiche th li brarians had expended for their enjoyment.
