Clouds. Still
Overcast the
Skies of City

Thirteen days of cloudy weather
have been dished up by Weather OBJ
server John Grover this month. and.
although he predicts fair weather for
tonight and tomorrow, he does not be-
come indiscreet enough to lower his
standing as a forecaster by saying the
sun will shine within the next "a hours.
During the 13 days that clouds have
been on duty, Walla Wallans have had
but one or two glrrnpses of the sun.
and the cloudy days, coming in rapid
succession, have caused some to ac-
cept the too general belief that the
sun hasn't cast it's beaming rays upon
the valley since last Fourth of July.
Foggy weather is the rule today,
and unless all signs fail, skates will be
an absolute necessity tomorrow, as
the dampness in the air is settling 10
the walks and freezing as it settles.
Last night was considerably warmer
than the night previous, but freezing
temperature has been handed out to-
day, and indications are for continued
cold

when the fire departments are respond

electric cars were installed in Walla

close calls for serious accidents by
collision of street cars with the fire
department apparatus, because of the
fact that motormen and conductors
were unable, owing to the noise of the
car to hear the fire-bell and come to a
stop.
Plans for the semaphore signal syS-

COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT
COMES AGAIN

Members of the Commercial club will
be given another opportunity to ex-
press their opinion of the commission
form of government at the regular
meeting of the club on the second
Thursday in January. This question
has been discussed at several sessions,
and people generally are securing a
thorough understanding of the new
form of municipal government by the
addresses that have been made by
those who have made study of the
question.
At each meeting the subject is ad-
vanced from every side and view
point and discussed thoroughly. Many,
in fact the majority of the club MEM
bers, favor the change from the old
charter and when this is made are OF
the opinion that a commission form OF
government should at least be tried
out This form of handling municipal
affairs hasc been adopted by the city
of Tacoma but has not been put into
use yet. Des Moines, Iowa, has tried
the experiment with success as well
as many other cities.
Some favor the move from the
standpoint that it will cut down eX-
penses and that one man is held re-
sponsible for the department of which
he is head.

But Little Left to Turn to

Collector.
FAST WORK IN
- HANDLING MONEY
Change in Law Accounts for
Amount Left Over From
Treasurer's Office.

That City Treasurer R. G.. Parks has
been a busy man during the past two
months is proven by figures given out
this morning, showing that the 1903
tax roll, personal and realty. amount
ing to $115,691.31, has been cleaned up,
leaving but $15,7S30S on the deiin-
of police The rolls were turned over
to the treasurer in October. and as
the taxes became delinquent Decem-
Der 1, he was allowed only about so
days in which to make collections.
During those sixty days, Mr.. Parks
and his assistant handled $99,9OS.23 of
the citys money, an average of more
that $1,000 day
When it is considered that the to-
tai to be collected consisted of more
than $4,000, and that searching
through the rolls occupied considerable
time and trouble, the amount collected
will seem even greater Each person
who appeared at the window contrib
uted only small sum to the grand
total. ,and in the process of making
collections, several hundred property
owners, many of them with some COM
plaint to make, were encountered.
The city taxes became delinquent
December 1, but the rolls were not
turned over to the chief of police un-
til last Friday. owing to the necessi-
ty, under the new tax law, of trans
ferring the delinquent taxes from
