OF assessors had appraised the rail-

complaining would be that any In

meant a lowering OF the tax rate.
Caused Lot of Friction.
This "snooping system" caused end
less friction. In the session OF 1905 Rep
resentative Galbraith introduced the
l.aFollette equalization law OF Wiscon-
sin. known ever since as the Galbraith
law. which. fought from the first by
Attorney General Bird. was declared
unconstitutional At this session the
right OF the state tax commission was
taken away In the reorganization of
the commission. Under this arrange.
ment the state tax commission can re-

OF the counties complain. To restore
the railroads right TO complain. mere
ly remove the restriction 10 residents
OF the county. This Is what the Whit
ncy-Dust bill does.
Railways Deprived OF Rights.
The reason given is that since the
Galbraith law is declared unconstitu-
tlonal. the railroads are really in a
strait. and the state Is In danger OF
drastic court action on its tax laws.
For there is nothing 20 prevent the SUI
pcrvisors from lowering ana lowering

STREET PAVING
UNDER ONE HEAD

Tho Water Commissioners are pro-
posing 70 urge a new system IN the re-
pairing Of streets hereafter by having
the stmet and Sewer Department take
full charge of the work. Under the
present system the Water Board has
TO pav for and supervise the repair
work Il does about the streets and both
the telephone companies and the rail-
way companies have TO do likewise.
The Water Commissioners want the
Street Department to attend to all
street building and repairing, so that
the work win come under one depart
ment. which can be held responsible
for it. This proposed action on the
part Of the Water Commissioners fol-
lows an effort Of the Street and Sewer

Time Last Year

Despite general complaint Of high prices
It viii cost less to iii the market basket
this year than il did one year ago. Ac-
cordlng to rates in the Wilmington mar

quantities as heretofore. Cape Cod cran-
berries, the best quality Of cranberrles
from New England have been sent here
In unusually large shipments, more than
10000 crates having been shipped to this
part OF the country so far
The prices obtained from marNetmen
not alone OF poultry and cranherries the
acme OF a good Thanksgiving dinner. but
OF all other market products in general
