DECISION IS
A BOOMERANG
RULING ON TAX FOR IMPROVE
MENTs WORKS BOTH WAYS.
Substitution of Graduated for Flat
Rate Benefits Some Property Own
ers But Hits Others, Who May Ap-
peal to the Courts for Remedy.

There seems to be two business ends
to the now famous Pillsbury decision
which was responsible for some re-
forms in the process for levying and
collecting assessments for permanent
street improvements. 1t compelled
the municipal authorities to aban-
don their custom Of making a fiat as
sessment for sewers and Watermains
regardless Of cost of construction, and
to base the assessment on the actual
cost as determined after the work was
completed.
The decision caused an upheaval in
the Offices of the city engineer and the
controller, as every taxpayer who had
paid special taxes in excess Of the
actual cost of the improvements was
entitled to a rebate. These rebates
aggregated hundreds Of thousands of
dollars and they will not be disposed
Of for many years.
In view Of the decision the authors
ties made the assessments on the
basis of the expense of construction,
but now this method is being at
tackled by those who are required to
fiat rate of $3.50 per foot for sewer
and IS cents a foot for Waterman.
They point to the Pillsbury decision
and the law which says that benefits
must be considered in making assess
ments and that no one shall be
charged for more than the cost Of an
ordinary improvement. It was with
this und erstanding that a fiat rate was
made An ordinary sewer, for in
stance, was found to be a 24-inch
sewer and the cost being about $3.50
foot, and it was held that the prop
erty owner was benefited to that ex-
tent.
In some parts of the city 1t costs
from 50 to 81 a foot or even more to
| build sewers, altho manifestly the peo-
pie who own the abutting property are
provement than those whose sewers
| cost only 81 a foot. So they are up in
arms and have applied thru G. A.
Nimocks for rebates, which will ag-
gregate $4,000. Appeal to the court
will be taken if the city council does
not act on the petition now before that
body.

THEN ALL SANG
LIFE LINE HYMN.
G. Il. MORRILL'S THRILLING PRE-
LUBE TO CASINO SERVICE.
While Waiting for the Hour of the
Service He Assisted in the Rescue
of Two Ladies in Dire Distress and
Turned 1t to Account.

Not because he feared the water
for he is an immemorial Baptist
Rev. G. l.. Morrill, sacrificed the pic
turesque for the practical last eve
ming, and lying fiat on an Excelsior
dock, drew two distressed ladies out
of the lake.
Ten minutes later, in opening his
regular Sunday evening service at the
Casino, he appropriately announced
as the first song: Throw Out the
Life Line"
The incident followed a poor land
ing made by Isaac Kaufman, who
had come to Excelsior In a rowboat
accompanied by his wife and daugh-
ter. In jumping from the boat to
the dock, Mr.. Kaufman reached the
planks and in so doing showed the
craft further from the dock. Mrs.
Kaufman made frantic reach for
the landing, caught hold of one of the
posts, but, in doing SO, pushed the
boat still further away and was
drawn into the water. Miss Kauff-
man, seeing the precarious situation
of her mother, made an effort to save
her and herself was thrown into the
lake.
The situation was rapidly becoming
critical when Mr.. Morrill, appeared on
the way to his Sunday evening SER
vice. Hurrying down the dock, he
threw off his coat and hat and pre-
pared to leap into the cold water.
The women had succeeded in catch
ing hold of the dock, however, and
their rescuer saw that he could save
them more promptly without getting
wet. Catching the unfortunates' hands,
he kept the ladies from sinking, and,
help having arrived, they were soon
lifted to the dock

EXCITEMENT
THRUOUT EUROPE
Entire Continent Laboring with the
y Dogs Of War.


The entire eastern hemisphere
seems to be trembling in anticipation
of a general war which now seems in
evitable. Late advices state that every
royal house Of Europe is laboring I'M
der the fever heat of excitement.
Armies are being modified. Navies
are being strengthened and battleships
are being stationed at points that will
be of vantage in event of war. Com
missaries are being accumulated in
order to facilitate matters. Every
monarch has an ear to the ground to
catch the first vibrations that would
indicate that the time to strike the
first blow has arrived.
AS a matter of dollars and cents,
this means much for the United
States, as all these armies must be
fed, and no country is so we'll pre-
pared to do it as this. But we Ameri-
cans are OF an excitable temperament,
which is shown by the war now raging
Japan, where we have nothing at
stake There are many people labor
ing under the excitement and are on
the verge Of collapse. While the hui
man system feeds upon excitement,
yet it is far from being nourishing. On
the contrary, it undermines the en-
tire system. There are many small

MORE SEATS FOR
SCHOOL CHILDREN.
ASSEMBLY HALL AT CENTRAL
HIGH SACRIFICED.
Improvements at East Side High and
in Grade Schools in All Parts of the
Observation-Disclosures for All Pu-
pills Next Fall.

Central high school hereafter will
in which for nearly a score Of years
has been held commandments, teach
ers meetings, class functions, lee
lures, entertainments and the count
less gatherings more or less necessary
in big educational plant, is now in
process Of transformation into school,
rooms. When these are finished, sit
tings will be provided for 200 pupils.
The sacrifice Of the hall is necessi-
tated by the increase in the school
population Of Minneapolis, which is
more rapid proportionally than the
education. With the new rooms the
Central high school will accommo-
date 1000 pupils. The work Of alter
alton will cost about $4,000.
Work has already begun on the re-
modelling Of the third floor Of the
East high school. This building was
never. entirely completed, the work
has now arrived The East Side
schools are showing indications Of
overcroWding, and annexes have been
called into use in several districts.
The completion of the third floor of
the East high will furnish accommo o.
dations for ESQ pupils, which will
help considerably in relieving the con-
ditions over the river. The expense
of the work will be about $4,000.
For the relief of the North Side
| several minor arrangements have
been ordered, chief Of which is the
construction of an annex at the Low
ell school. This will cost about $4,000
| and will seat 100 pupils.
With the big additions to the Clay
! and the rebuilding Of the Adams
| school, and the moving about Of the
| portable annexes, the school directors
hope to be able to take care of every
child asking admission next Septem-
Der. It will be necessary, of course,
to make use of a number Of vacant
stores, basement rooms and other
| temporary arrangements, but it will
be long time before the board will
be in position to abandon those make
| shifts.
The great increase in the school
capacity Of several districts will ne
cessitate many changes in boundaries
and probably every district in the city
will be more or less affected.

He "OPENED MINNEAPOLIS
First Salvation Army Worker In MInne-
apoIis Is Dead,

The death Of Colonel Richard Evans,
who opened the Salvation Army work in
this city, is chronicled by eastern papers.
Colonel Evans came to Minneapolis in
1886, when two corps were organized, with
two officers in each. At that time his
headquarters were in Chicago, and his
son was in charge Of the northwestern
district, which comprised Minnesota, South
Dakota, northern Michigan and Wiscon-
sin. A few years later he took his sons
place as provincial officer, but he had oc-
cupied it hardly year when he was ap-
pointed to take charge of the New York
and New Jersey district. Since that time
he has worked with his son on the Pa
cific coast and in Boston, where he was
at the time of his death.
