The greatest mistake Govern

Office is the advocacy in spec
ial message to tile legislature
last Friday of a graduated gen.
eral inheritance tax for the
benefit of the state university,
the normal schools aud the pub-
lie roads of Missouri. This bill
if enacted into Law would rob
the estate of every deceased
person of so much:mOney for
the state institutions. The
present inheritance tax is bad
enough, yet it only applies to

WEEK IN CITY HALL.
Board of Aldermen VIII Hold Meeting
on TueAtluy NiSllt


The regular June meeting OF the
Board of Aldermen will be held Tues
day night, having been postponed In
order to await the business commun1-
Gated from the Common Council, which
also had deferred session. A largo
volume OF business Will come up for
action. but as the Board works more
rapidly than does the larger branch.
ii is expected that one session will be
sufficient TO dispose of it.
The ordinance providing for an issue
of bonds to the amount OF $4,000 for
the rehabilitation Of the City Gas
the contract for that work to the Stacy
Manufacturing Company. will come
from the Common Council for con-
currence. There Will be no contest over
this. however.
1t is likely that the Board Will take
up the recommendation of the iFi-
nance Committee for bond issue of
$4,000 for the construction and
equipment OF municipal electric light
and power plant on the site of the Old
Pump House, but the Aldermen may
await action by the Common Council,
before which this measure is pending.
The burglar alarm ordinance will
come up for concurrence, as will tho orr
uINanCe directing the street committee
to award the contract for surveying
and plating the annexed territory to
T. Crawford. Redd & Bro. at their bid
of $4,000. A spirited discussion is
likely on this matter. but it is not anti
cipated that concurrence will fail.
The other ordinances relative to i'm
provement of the annexed territory
VIII be passed and will then go to the
Mayor for his signature. AS soon as
these are approved the work of I'M
provement will be actively begun. and
Will soon enjoy urban
and comforts.
The Committee on Streets is sched-
uled to meet this afternoon. and the
criticism of the City Engineers De-
partment may come in for some atten-
ton then. 1t is not likely, however,
that the committee will go into this
matter at this meeting or. in fact. un-
til the Board OF Aldermen shall have
