CHANGE IN METHOD,
Rule to Govern the Summons of Police
to Fires.

vester in the method of having police re-
serves respond to alarms of fire For a
number of years 1t has been the custom of
the department to send a number of police
men every time an alarm was turned in
This necessitated the taking of men from
bed, as rule, in order to make up the re-
quiFed number
Experience shows the department that in
most instances only small number of men
are needed. For this reason a change in
the rule has been made. 1t is believed
when additional men are wanted they can
be summoned at a moments notice. When
a general alarm is sounded the police re-
serves Will respond, as heretofore

RrsINEs5 MEMS LEAGUE.-An ad.
;onrned meeting of the Business Mems
league was held last night. In the alb
seocs of President Harlow Col. +. l..
smith presided.
The meeting was held for the pur-
noss of considering q bill now before the

and other electric corporations to place

have the bill amended SO as to include
bv its provisions the smaller cities with
the object of compelling the burial OF
such wires in Alexandria.
Mr.. Isaac Eichbsrg, VINO called the
attention of the league to the matter at
the meeting last week, said inasmuch
as the attendance was small, he would
move that the consideration of the sub.
i-ct be postponed. This motion prevail
ed.
some conversational debate on
various subjects followed.
Col. Smith 10 abiding 10 the measure
now before the Legislature for exempt
jug Alexandria from the operation of
section 1910 OF the State code, requir-
ING the city and State assessments TO be
uniform, said the matter could be made
slll more satisfactory if an am sndment
were put to the bill allowing persons
who supposed their property to be ell
roneously assessed by the city to appear
before the Corporation Court and urge
reasons for Its abatement. This was the
procedure in State assessments. At
present those aggrieved by the city's
assessments appealed to Council Tor
redress. This was often accompanied
bv delay and trouble to all coDcurre6.
II taxpayers were allowed to 90 TO the
court, the City Council would be reliev-
ed from the burden OF considering such
appeals.
Corporation Attorney Boothe, who
was present, thought Col. Smiths sug-
gestion, so far as be was personally
concerned, was good, but said he would
prefer that the City Council take action
on the matter, and would be glad
if the colonel could make it convenient
TO appear with him before the finance
committee of the City Council and have
the matter arranged. Mr. Boothe gave
a succinct history of the former and
present laws governing State and city
assessments, and urged that Council
had asked this change for the best rea.
sons, as recently the State assessor had
increased the valuation of real estate
10 this city $500, 900, but no change had
been made 10 the assessment OF person
al property. The object in view was to
eauslizo taxation and render the sys-
TEN more satisfactory.
Col. Smith signi6ed his willingness to
appear and the further consideration OF
the matter ceased.
