OBJECT TO USE OF
CONCRETE IN BUILDINGS
City Of1ciaIs Register Strong Protests
Against Proposed Amendment
of MuniCipaI Ordinance.

The officials of the Fire and Works
departments again appeared before the
Supervisors Fire Committee in oppo-
sition to petition to amend the build
ing ordinance by permitting the erec-
ton of concrete steel structures. AS
sistant Chief Engineer Shaughnessy
argued that the law should not be
amended and that brick and steel con-
struction was the safest. Inspector
Brandon declared that the use of con-
crete for exterior walls would be dan
gerous. The committee postponed ac-
ton for two weeks to enable reports
to be made by the Merchants Asso-
citation and Fire Underwriters.
The committee considered the petit
ton of property-owners TO abate the
alleged nuisance caused by smoke and
SCOT escaping from the chimney of a
laundry at $50 McAllister street. A.
Bruman. who lives next TO the laundry,
said that his wife was sick when the
permit 10 operate the boiler was
granted in March last.
My wife has since died. said Bru-
man, her death having possibly been
caused by the operation of the laun-
dry"
The committee decided to make a
personal investigation of the place.

ALEXANDER AGAIN HOLDS
TWO CITY POSITIONS
,Ianitor Of school Is Rcappointed
Deputy Registrar. From Which
Post He We Suspended.

y. j. Alexander, who was suspended
frem his position as deputy registrar
after the fact was made public in The
Call that he also held the position OF
1anitor Of the Horace Mann Grammar
School in direct violation Of the char
ter, is back again working as a deputy
registrar having been restored to the
place on the first OF the month. Alex
ander has not resigned IS janitor and
is therefore again drawing two sal
aries. aggregating s20s monthly, de-
spite the charter.
When Election Commissioner Lef-
1ngwell read Of Alexander's holding of
two city positions he suspended him
because he recognized that under the
charter no man may hold two posi-
tions under the municipal government.
Lehngwell was upheld in this conten-
ton BY Commissioner Devote, but for
some reason the Commissioners re-
solve 70 live up 10 the charter was
short lived. Alexander is now working
ln the inner Office OF the registration
bureau. where he is safe from pryinE
eyes When asked by Leffingwen how
he managed 10 do the work of his two
positions Alexander ingenuously re-
Piled that he employed another man
~ lower salary to do the menial
work OF his janitorial job.

BIG REDUCTION
IN ASSESSMENT
Revised Roll Falls Far
Short of S511,O 100000 as Re-
turned by Assessor Dodge
OFFICIALS ARE ALARMED
Clerical Errors Alone Re-
duce the Grand Total by
approximately $6,500,OOO

The revision of the assessment roll,
which has been under way ever since
the Board of Equalization concluded
its labors in hearing applications for
the reduction of assessments, resulted
yesterday in the startling discovery
that the roll viii fall considerably be-
low the sum of SOIL 200, ,0G0, which was
originally returned by Assessor Dodge.
From computations already made by
those engaged in the work IL has been
ascertained that at least So, 900, 5000 Will
have 10 be deducted from the total,
thus bringing it down to S5O2, 900 900. OF
this sum about 81, 500 600 is due to the
reductions in assessments of individual
property holdings ordered by the Board
OF Equalization on Dodge's recommen-
dations. The clerical errors already dis
covered in the roll aggregate nearly
$500 600 additional.
Even then the roll viii in all likeii-
hood fall below $500, 900, coo, the figure
at which the Board of Supervisors es-
timated the tax rate of 81 j. to pay the
expenditures Of the municipal govern
ment City officials are at the present
time much alarmed lest the reduced as
sessment roll result in a deficit in the
budget appropriations.
Included in the S502, 600 600 is the valu-
alton Of city property upon which no
taxes are paid. Then again there is
considerable worcestershire property,
such as that used entirely for church
purposes and also the property held
by the regents of the University, which
helped to swell the assessment roll, but
which under the law is non-taxable.
The assessment Of this kind of prop
erty approximates $2,OOO,OOO, besides
that upon which taxes will be delin-
Quent.
Thus il is certain that the roll. in
stead OF amounting to S511. 100000, will
fall short of $500 O0OO, 600, but by how
much only further calculation will ac-
curately determine.

tional and invalid. The whole Of the
days session was occupied IN the ex-
animation OF Hermann Schussler. chief
engineer Of the water company. BE
told about his knowledge OF the sub
5ect in hand and OF the thoroughness
Of his training as hydraulic engineer
He gave the following interesting data;
IN 1855 the individual consumption Of
water il this city was twenty gallons
per diem; in 1870. forty gallons; in 1850.
'fifty-four gallons; in 1890, sixty eight
gallons. and IN 1900. seventy-two gal
Ions. the population appearing 10 grow
thirstier in proportion as It increased
i1 NUM- bers.
Schussler made the following predic-
ton as 10 the population Of this city in
the years named: In 1910. 500, 900; in
1920. $50. 600; In 1880, So0.0 900; in 1910,
$50 600. and in 1880. LOO 600.

the company from doing this before.
He also explained in detail the inter
clfangeable system Of pumps. which
assures the city adequate protection in
case OF fire. For instance the water
can be shut off either from the Ala
media or Crystal Springs system or il
can be drawn from both at the same
time. The city is divided into a num-
Der Of stories" and water is supplied

against Sheriff Curtis. A few days
