VIENNA. January 3, 1905.
Mayor Collins, supported by the entire
council of Vienna and by a large majority
of the citizens OF the town, is making un-
usual effort to enforce the ordinances of
the corporation. One of these ordinances
makes it unlawful for any person to dis
charge any firearms or other explosives
within the corporate limits to disturb the
peace of the town. This regulation, which
Is known as NO. s. of the town ordinances,
was violated recently by number OF young
men, who engaged in sham battle in the
business portion of the town, using dyna-
mite crackers and roman candles as the
missiles OF attack in such manner as not
only to disturb the peace OF the community
by keeping the disturbance up for almost
an hour, but SO as to endanger property

COMPARISONS Given.

rs the city of washington bankrupt as
stated by Mr. Stocking. Following is a
table taken from the same source, bulletin
No. 20 OF the census bureau, showing the
population, the assessable valuations of
property, rate of taxation and the per cap
tia debt of each of the same eleven cities
with which Washington has been compared
for the year 1903. The population In this
table is estimated for the increase since the
census Of 1900"
The population of Washington Is given
in the table 213217 and the assessed
valuation of taxable property is placed Mt
500, 1882, and the basis of the assess
ment of values is given as 67 per cent for
the real property and full value on per
sonal property. The amount of taxes col
lected is given as SO, 437, $50, giving a per
capita assessed valuation of $lS1.G2, per
capita tax levy of S11.72 and per capita debt
of SAT %. All debt obligations of the DIE
trict amount to S13, SAG, ODD. In the list of

The City Not Bankrupt.

I'm order to determine whether or not the
city of Washington is bankrupt" the report
continues, 1.-The same rule should be fol-
lowed as when the inquiry is made with re-
spect to an individual or firm, to wit,
available assets should be marshaled on one
side and total liabilities on the other, and a
comparison determines the result AS here
tofore stated, the total liabilities of Wash
ington are S13, SAG, 222. Its assets consist OF
its assessable property, real and personal.
Sixty-seven per cent of It's assessed value
amounts to 1929, 1S3, 312; therefore, its entire
assessable value would be S343 ia, 96S
Stated in percentages, Washington's total
debt is 6 per cent of its assessed valuation
and per cent only Of Its true valuation.
No one who had carefully studied the sub
ject could see any danger of bankruptcy in
these figures. Your committee, therefore,
reports that all fears of bankruptcy for
Washington are groundless, and all asser-
lions to the contrary are idle and mis-
chievous.
From what information has been Access
sible to your committee 1t would seem that
the automatic sprinkler system advocated
by Mr.. Stocking has great merit and that
1t has been already installed in a limited
number of the larger business houses in
Washington. But from the evidence before
them they are not prepared to report that
1t Is superior to the high-pressure fire serv-
Ice system advocated by the Commission
ers, or that it could with prudence be sub
etituted for 1t. The following extract from
the special report of the superintendent of
the water department, under date of Oc-
tober 3. 1901, on which the Commissioners
base their recommendation TO Congress,
clearly admits a limited value in the
sprinkler system, and so far from dis
placing it with the hlgh-pressure system,
would greatly increase its efficiency.
Quote Government Report.
AN important point In favor of the sep
arate high-pressure service Is that 1t will
encourage the extensive Introduction OF au-
tomato sprinklers There are at present
but few of these in use In this city. and
those few are served by local pumps and
roof tanks. II the high pressure service
