A LEGISLATIVE ERROR

Two Conflicting Assessment Laws In
Cities of the Third Class
1t has been discovered by Chief Clerk
Davis, OF the secretary of states Office, at
Olympia, that the last legislature provided
two different and conflicting methods for
the assessment and collection of taxes in
municipal corporations OF the third class,
one in senate bill No. 237 and the other in
house bill No. 331. Both do away with
the office of city assessor. The senate
bill provides that the county assessor Of
the county in which any municipal cor
porations of the third or fourth classes
are situated shall make an assessment OF
the property in such corporations al the
same time that he makes his county as
sessment; that such corporation assess
ments shall be equalized as county assess
ments are equalized by the county and
state boards of equalization. and that the
county treasurer shall collect all city
taxes Of such corporations.
On the other hand, the house bill,
which is amendatory of various sections
of the general incorporation act, provides
that in third-class cities:
1t shall be the duty of the city clerk,
between the first Monday of February
and the first Monday of May OF each year,
to make true list of all taxable property
within the city as the same shall appear
in the last preceding county assessment
returned by the county assessor.
Provision is made for the equalization
of the city clerks assessment, when COM
pleted by the city council acting as a
beard OF equalization. The city treasurer
is made the collector of all city taxes.
The question as to which of these laws
shall prevail is likely to create much con-
fusion before it is settled. The senate act,
being an emergency one, is in force now,
while the house act will not 60 into effect
until ninety days after the adjournment
of the legislature. Both bills were APP
proved on the same day, March 9, but the
senate bill takes precedence in the order
of time, it having been signed at 10:45 a.
m, while the house measure was not APP
proved until 8 30 p. m. The indorse-
ments on the acts, however, do not dis
close this difference IN time. Both bear
the same certificate: Approved March
9, 1893"
According to the doctrine laid down in
decisions involving the question raised BY
the approval of these bills on the same
day, fractions of day are considered in
determining when bill becomes law
and, under this rule. the senate bill re-
peals SO much of the house bill as is in
conflict with it.

GRAYs HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS.
Engineer Clapp Arrives to Superintend
the Work.

Engineer Clapp Arrives to Superintend
the Work.
The arrival in Hoquiam, says the Ia
coma Ledger, of J. III. Clapp, of Portland,
sets the matter of Harbor improvements
at rest. Mr.. Clapp is the assistant of
Thomas w. Symons, captain of the corps
of engineers, U. S. A., with headquarters
in Portland, Or, and has charge of all
the rivers and harbors on the Oregon and
Washington coast. Engineer Clapp will
attend personally to the construction
here, as all the work is paid for by the
amount of material actually used. Each
scow of stone is measured by the amount
of displacement of water, and the brush
is paid for by the cord.
Contrary to the expectations of the
people, the jetties for the improvement
OF the upper harbor will be to the north
and east of the two streams at West Aber-
deem, and save for the present depth of
water, West Aberdeen will be cut off from
the main channel.
The 1000 feet Of space between the
ends will be covered at the bottom with
brush and stone, which will sink down
to level bottom and prevent any securing
out of the south channel. Instead of
closing up the middle channel, as was
supposed, the south channel, just north
OF the south harbor, will be cut off en-
tirely by cross ietty.
Ii the work here is done as perfectly as
at South Bend, the present depths of six
feet at extreme low tide will be cut to ten
in thirty days after being completed.
Within thirty days the shoal at South
Bend for 500 feet was deepened from nine
to thirteen feet, and for 200 feet it was
deepened from twelve to thirteen.
The improvements done there by Con-
tractor J. E. Howard, who has this con-
tract, cost $500. The estimate was for
5000. This saving $1,000 on an $1,000
estimate is an indication of the kind Of
work we will get here.
Fifty thousand dollars will be expended

WHY THE EDITOR swORE.

With terrible cold in his head,
And his eyelids heavy and sore,
The editor sat in broken chair
And bitterly, earnestly swore.
A youth had dropped in with poem.
Aman was there with dun,
And a chap had entered to tell him
How the paper ought to be run.
An irate subscriber had told him
That his sheet wasn't fit to be read,
While another had carefully promised
To punch the editors head.
The foreman was yelling for copy,
And the wind whistled in at the door.
And this, with few other reasons,
Is why the editor swore-
But the angel who took it TO heaven
Recorded this verdict there:
THE jury find in the present case
Twas iustifable swear"

CHEHALIs COUNTY HAPPENINGS.
From The washinatonian:
Chas. Lyons and wife returned to Co.'S
mopolis, from Oregon, last week, We trust
to remain on the Harbor in the future.
AL Kuhn was hunting yesterday for
half-dozen men-carpenters and laborers
-for work on the big mill Improvements,
and complained that men were scarce in
Hoquiam, as far as spare help is con-
cerned.
A business lot on Eighth street was
sold this week, and to parties who it is
is more than likely intend to build. In
fact there is strong possibility that
three stores will be erected between l and
j streets in the coming summer.
VIM. Gordon, the night watch at the
Slade mill ousted tramp from the mill
recently, and in return, few nights
since, someone shot pistol ball through
the firercom door which passed through
a portion OF his pants. He fired inre-
turn, out without results.
From Montesano vidette:
1t seems that after much delay and
annoyance the city bonds are disposed of
satisfactorily.
A petition is being circulated by some
OF the friends of o. D. Aver, asking for
his appointment as postmaster of this
city.
There is a strong probability that
smelter will soon be built either at Ocosta
or Westport, for the purpose of smelling
the magnetic ore to be found in immense
quantities on the Peterson beach.
