The announcement that property
owners on streets that have been paw
ed during the past season will not have
to meet their first assessment until the
spring of 1908, has been good news to
many who considered that the 1904
assessment would include the first pay
ment. The assessment must be certi-
fled to by December /, and as many of
the contracts were not completed In
time to allow the council to visit al!
the streets and decide on the special

Councilman Webster, of the Fourth
ward, took enough interest In the
theater license, attention to which was
called in this column last week, to IN
yestigate the license rates In other
cities. AS result he called for re-
of the final passage OF
the license ordinance. and introduced
an amendment calling for fiat rate OF
$50. the maximum under the old ordl-
nance. and the same sum that has been
paid as license for several years. Inc
change in the councils attitude can not
help but be a source Of qualification to
the friends of a good play house, not SC
much because of the amount of money
but because the reconsidera-
ton indicates that the council will not
