tFrom a staff Correspondent


LINCOLN, May @.-(Special)-One OF
the first questions to be considered by the
State Board OF Assessment tomorrow is
the record made In the assessment of the
Pullman Car company. The record shows
that Auditor Barton made the motion to
increase this property and that Governor
Shallenberser seconded the motion. Then,
according to the records, Treasurer Brian
moved TO fix the assessment as last year,
and this motion is recorded as having car
ried, with no further mention Of the Barton
motion.
Here is how 1t all happened. After Bar.
ton made his motion there was no second,
so Mr.. Brian made his motion, which car
ried, the Barton motion not being voted
upon. At the conclusion Of the meeting
Governor Shallenberger asked II It were
customary for the chairman to second or
make motions, and he was informed that
had been the custom.
So Mr.. Barton asked the governor to
second his motion, and he told the secre-
tsTy to so record him. That Is all there
Is to the big fight between the members
Of the board. II likely will be settled with
out bloodshed.
Governor Shallenberger's motion to in
crease the Northwestern's assessment $4,000
a mile is still pending and, under the gen.
eral order of business, that will come up
for action. No vote was taken on that
motion last Monday because Land Com
missioner Cowles was absent. In the mean
time, as tomorrow is Memorial day, it Is
likely the board will tranact no business
until Tuesday.

the great virtue in a soldier Of unquestion-

This well disciplined. intelligent mass
has got TO be kept away from the physical
and moral deterioration OF town life. To
this end the department Of agriculture
and the war department have come to-

the system.

departments has a general and 2 special

q quantity of water sufficiently large
between the ocean and the bay to raise
and maintain the saltness of the water
to point at which oysters will thrive.
'The 10000 or more acres above
Whittington's Point have no practical
value now for oyster culture, because
almost every year during the rainy sea-
son of late winter and early spring the
water over this section becomes so fresh
and remains so for such long periods
that oysters are killed.
"The introduction of salt water is all
that is necessary to give the entire Sec
tion included within the grant from the
State to the company and the parts of
bays adjacent to it vast potential val
ue for growing oysters.
Now. the optimistic men who are
back of the project say that when DIR.
Grave says the salt water will give the
bays vast potential value for grow
ing oysters" he is stating the exact
truth, and stating it conservatively.
They say that there are 30, 900, 600
bushels of oysters annually consumed in
the world. With their inlet cut through
and year or so given for planting pur-
poses and scientific oyster culture, it is
contended that the now barren bottoms
Of the bay will produce one-fourth of all
the oysters eaten in the world.9
And now Mr.. Carey and his friends
have put the question of the constitu-
tionality of the bill to Mr.. Straus, the
present Attorney-G General. They say
they have done their share and they
want the State to do its share. Also
they want that So, 500 to help build the
inlet.
Mr.. Straus has taken up the matter.
He has already indicated that he thinks
the bill sound and constitutional one,
hut before rendering his final opinion,
upon which the State Comptroller will
act, he wants to give the question more
careful thought. IL
And that is where the situation stands
now. If by chance Mr.. Straus' opinion
should be adversc-so the law, the Sine
puxent company will go ahead and COM
plete the inlet anyhow.
