The Daily Mining Record, of

man of the Wickenburg district a
good send-off in their issue of April
2S. The occasion for their casting
of boquets is that Mr.. Leland Sey-
mour Gamble, who is an expert
writer on mines, wrote an extended
article for the Pacific Coast Miner
on the Wickenburg district. Mr..
Gamble has done much work of
this character for the district, as

TO GIVE ALARM OF FIRE.

The contract for the installation of the
new fire alarm apparatus at the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane has been
let to the National Automatic Fire Alarm
Company of this city for the sum Of $24, 500.
For this amount the company proposes to

AUTHORITY OF SURVEYOR.
May Apportion Distances in Absence
of Specific Legislation.

The Commissioners have received from
Corporation Council Duvall an opinion rela-
tive to letter from the surveyor of the
district upon the question whether, 'in the
absence of specific legislation governing the
proportioning of differences between record
ed and measured distances through block
from front to rear of the lots involved" the
surveyor has authority to make such ap-
portionment.
The surveyor in his opinion believed that
the law directing him to proportion differ
ences found between the measured and re-
corded fronts of blocks carried with 1t
logically the necessity that side lines of lots
should he treated accordingly. This law
was section 1885 of the code which Corpo-
ration Counsel Duvall quotes.
while this law" says he. docs not pro-
vide for the appartonment of side lines,
yet, it frequently occurs that the subd.-
visions are made where the rear ends of
lots are contiguous, and inasmuch as by
resubdivision or conveyance the side lines
may become in effect front lines. 1t is APP
parent that in order to carry out the pur-
pose OF the law the surveyor must In such
cases treat the side lines of the lots with
reference to the law referred to. 1t is my

WANT TAX CANCELLED.
Trustees of Fifth Baptist Church Pre-
fer Request.

Joseph B. Bailey and c. Clinton James,
trustees of the Fifth Baptist Church, have
requested of the Commissioners the can
collation. of the tax for 1903 against, and
the exemption from taxation of the church
property Divine worship was begun in
1902 and the trustees assumed that the
church had been exempt from taxation be-
ginning with the fiscal year 1903. 1t now
transpires that request has not been made
for this exemption, and a tax of $5l1.5O is
charged against he church for the fiscal
year 1903
The chairman of the board Of assistant
assessors, E. w. W. Griffin, looked into the
matter and stated that in an interview
with Rev. Mr.. Meador, the pastor, the lat
divine worship on the 10Th day of Novem-
Der, 1902, the main auditorium having been
completed about that date, but that six
weeks prior thereto services were held in
an adjoining part, known as the lecture
room. The trustees, in their application
state that the church building was first
used for divine worship in June, 1902.
There is an apparent discrepancy between
the pastor and the trustees" said Mr.. Grit
fin. las to the time of occupation for
church purposes.
The assessor, Mr.. Darneille, has stated
that the law with respect to exemption
from taxation of church property has been
uniformly construed to exempt property
only from the time of its actual occupation
for the purposes of divine worship. The
case has been submitted for the determina-
