TAX LEVY MAY Be S1.1O
THE CITY. NEEDS $4,000
Finance Committee and City Control
Ter Have a Meeting and Decide to
Recommend Even Higher Levy
Than First Suggested.

A raise of six cents in the city tax
levy will be recommended to Council
at its next meeting, by the Finance
Committee and the City Controller.
This step it is claimed, is made ne
cessary by the fact that it will take
something like 100000 to put the
City on a sound basis. The Finance
committee and City Controller Parry
met yesterday, ana revised the lat
ter's estimate made Council Monday
night, adding to that of $1S4,964,
$105,036 making a total of 100000
to be raised. 1t is thought that $107.-
$50 of this amour, can be raised
from the Light Plant Liquor licenses,
Poll Tax and Miscellaneous receipts.
This leaves about $4,000 on which
the advance in the tax rate is based.
The levy on each 500 will be S1.10

THE CANVASS WAS

STATISTICS ARE VALUABLE
ONE DISTRICT WAS FOUND IN
WHICH THERE WERE NO
CHURCH MEMBERS-MANY Pc
CULIAR HAPPENINGS.

Between the hours of two and four
yesterday afternoon, over four hun
dred Sunday School canvassers visit
ed every home in the city, requesting
information which is TO be used in
compiling statistics for the assist
ance and furtherance of the work of
the City Sunday School Association
Questions were asked along the line
of the church belonged to the one
preferred the number of persons in
the family and those attending Sun
day school.
So far as could be learned last night
there was but one refusal to tender
the desired information. One solic-
itor stated that she had found no
church members in her district. Many
other peculiar and comic happenings
occurred in the canvass, which lent
diversion to the work. 1t is thought
that it will take a week to tabulate
and check up the results of yeSter-
days efforts. The canvass will fur
nish good municipal statistics. as it
will give the name of every person liv-
ing in the city, the number of childen
in the family, and a range of their
ages.

Mayor Dunno Wants Blame
Fixed for Many Street Car
Accidents in Chicago.
A LARGE LOSS OF LIFE
CURED IN THE PAST ONE
HUNDRED DAYS - CRIMINAL
NEGLIGENCE CHARGED.
Publishers Press1

Chicago, Sept. 2O-A grand jury in
vestigation of the surprising number
OF street car accidents here recently,
was demanded by Mayor Dunno today.
Forty-eight lives have been lost in
the last 100 days. he says. I'm view
of these frequent, and in my judg-
ment. unnecessary fatalities and the
great number of injuries claimed to
have resulted from defective con-
struction or equipment of the street
car plants, l would suggest that an
investigation be had at the earliest
possible date to ascertain whether
these fatalities are the result of Grim
inal negligence and if they are for the
purpose of fixing the responsibility
and blame upon the parties charge
able
IF these are cases of criminal in
voluntary manslaughter, the parties
should be indicted and
placed on trial. The frightful loss
of life due to the operation of street
cars in this city, in my judgment, war
rants an investigation by the grand
jury"

this afternoon, Mrs. John A. Kennel,
wife of a prosperous Fulton county

ten nthe arm, her teeth knocked out
her clothes torn off her and body as
saulted. She never once lost con-
seriousness, and when the negro had
accomplished his purpose and fled,
she ran to an adjoining room, grabbed
her husbands breechloader and fired
two shots at the disappearing ne
gro, which shots gave the alarm.
Mrs Kennel who is 20 years old,
was in her room when the negro, who
is described as being about 10
years old, entered, and proffering a
piece of paper, asked her to read the
address. AS she dropped her eyes
to read, she saw it was blank, and
said:
There is nothing written here"
The negro grabbed her and said:
