OHIO STREET IMPROVEMENT
COST FAIRLY APPORTIONED
By Commissioner M. J. HowIey--II|inois Central
Co. to Pay 0ne-Third--Prpoerty Owners on
West Side the Remainder

The assessment roll for the improve
ment of Ohio street was filed In the
county court yesterday by Commits
sioner M. j. Howley, setting forth in
detail the proportion Of The cost ol
said Improvement which IL ITO be
borne by the several owners of the
abutting property The total cost Of
the proposed Improvement, as estl
mated by the city engineer, is SILL
0S0.15, OF this $S, 2G615 is for paving
with vitrifled brick $4,000 for lime.
stone curbing, $304 for Portland ce-
mont curbing, $4,000 for 1920 feet ol
Tile ever s5S950 for excayating, etc,
and the balance for lesser features of
the work.
Commissioner Howley had several
problems 10 consider in connection
with this proposition, which do not
present themselves in other inn
proyement projects IN the city. and he
pas. cd upon them 10 the best Of his
judgment, in the light of the c1ndi-
lions which confronted him His first
duty was to ascerIa ain who should
share in the burden OF The cost, and
then how much each should share in
such burden The law is very clear
IN stating that the cost shall be as
sesscd against contiguous property
and this provision eliminated the Cairo
Trust Property trustees, because their
nropartv is not nrou + iu5IoueD to III,
proposed Improvement. The street is
50 feet wide OF this 20 feet is taken
up by the side walk and Of the remain
ing 60 feet only one half or 80 feet is
10 be paved with brick This thirty
feet extends from the side walk line
to the tie line of The Illinois Central
railroad track Thus It is clear that
the Cairo Trust Property trustees are
entirely cut off from the improvement.
They own only the ground between he
stone wall and The river, and even if
llae inlp pgpyement We're mol confined 10
The halE of the street opposite from
their property the stone wall alone
would preyenr them receiving any
benefit from It. So reasoned Commits
sioner Howley and he left them entire
ly out of consideration in his appor-
tionment.
This left only the Illinois Central
railroad company and the owners Of
property on the east side of the street
10 be considered. He assessed one
third of the cost Of the entire i'm
provement for right-of-way, right of
occupancy, railroad tracks, land front
age, etc, against The former, or 49,

Another problem presented itself 10
Mr. Howley. The Improvement Is to
extend from the north line Of Eighth
street to the south liae of Fourteenth
street AT Eighth street and up 70 a
point opposite lot No. 10 the railroad
companys tracks are full 30 feet from
the sidewalk line and the proposed
pavement viii be 80 feet wide At the
point named The tracks begin t. yeer
toward the side walk line until at
Fourteenth street.: where the improve
mcnt is 10 stop, there Is a space Of only
five feet between the tic line and the
sidewalk line The commissioner
reasoned that the tWo.thirds Of the
cost of The work which remained after
The railroad compaDy's share had been
deducted should he apporioned
against the several lots abutting on
the westerly side, in proportion TO the
width cf The pavement in front Of each
lot, for he did not believe that the
man who has a five, ten or fifteen foot
pavement should bear aa heavy
share Of the cost as the man who gets
a 30.foot pavement. Hence, while he
fixed the cost Of the Improvement at
Slf5 for those lots where the pave
ment is full 30 feet wide, for the 9th
ers, beginning With lot 8, he adjusted il
according to the gradually decreasing
width of the pavement, as follows

stallmcnts, rs provided by the law.
The first year S1,1S0.t5 is to be paid
and in each Of the nine subsequent
years 81 100 will be paid. This means
that for the lots which receive The full
benefit Of the improvement $3.50 Will
be paid the first year and $14.40 fer
each of the nine subsequent years.
For the lots which receive the gradual
ly declining scale of benefits the pay
ments will be c0rrespondingly less.
This matter will come up before
the county court at its June term. as

TUCKER ELEcTRocuTED.
Slayer of Mabel Page Pays Penalty
in Death Chair.

Boston, June 12.-Charles l.. Tucker
was electrocuted at 1912 this morn.
ing for the murder of Mabel Page.
Three applications of the current
were made.
When Tucker arrived in front OF
the death chair he drew from his
trousers pocket brief statement
which he read. The statement was
Il hope that God will forgive me for
all the wrongs | have ever done in
my past life. | forgive everybody
who has wronged me- l am at peace
with my Maker. May God have mercy
on my soul"
Tucker then sat down in the chair
and after the guards had adjusted the
straps the warden raised his hand as
signal to the electrician. After the
first application of the electricity, DR.
Joseph Mclaughlin, the prison sur
geon, made an examination and an
nounced that the pulse was still beat
ing. After the current had been APP
piled a second time the surgeon de
tected a movement of the heart, but
when the current was applied third
time Tucker was pronounced dead
The surgeon stated that Tucker was
unconscious from the moment the first
shock was felt.
