.s15,000,0O0 BOOST
IN ASSESSMENT

Although the 1909 assessment OF the
city is not completed as yet. the ad-
dltion of new values through building
operations in the city assure an i'll
crease OF about $4,000, 900 in real es.
tate assessments. Assessor Doran,
who has the central district this year
has not yet had time To complete his
land valuations. but IL Is not expected
that radical increases will Dc made iiI
the downtown districts as the valua-
lions have been boosted several times
IN that locality In the last few years.
There will be number OF increases
In land valuations In various districts
however, where there has been a great
deal of building and this viii swell the
total OF increases. IL is also proba bic
that there will be a considerable in
crease in personal assessments
although not SO sensational in amount
as has been the case in some other
years. The total increase in assess
ments, it is estimated. will run be-
tween $l5.0O0000 and $4,000 900 this

PLANS PERMANENT
ELECTION BOOTHS
J. w. ElSMAN WOULD FORM COM
PANY TO BUILD THEM AND
RENT TO CITY.

John w. Eisman. chief clerk in the
city clerks office under George l.
CASTOR. has offered u suggestion "a
the common council in the shape OF
petition that permanent election
booths be erected. He Offers TO form d
company which shall erect the booths
and rent them to the city at a stated
price for each election.
His petition states that the booths
would be placed on suitable sites and
be constructed OF cement block %
brick and electric lights. running wa
tel aud other conyeniences and to
have not less than 300 square feet of
door space and 80 square feet of table
space His idea would be that the
ballots should be counted in the
booths
The booths would not cost more
than $500 TO 81 600 each and would be
IA great Improvement over the present
iron ana wood houses says Eisman.
The greatest cost would be for sites.
Portable booths are not lasting and
the city has spent about $4,000 for
election houses which are now. for the
most part. dilapidated and of little use.
II is for this reason that money was
recently asked for new booths for a
large number OF districts.
1T costs about $l2 each time "A
portable booth is put up and taken
down now The rental charge for
booths such as | suggest would be
reasonable"

VOTING OF CASH FOR
TRACTION PROBING
UPHELD BY COURT
JUDGE MURPHY RULES THAT Elk
PENoITURE is PROPER ONE
AND REFUSES INJUNCTION
ASKED BY M. J. MAcGUiRE.

Mayor Breitmeyer may dole out the
$4,000 voted by the council TO defray
the expenses OF the committee or %.
Judge Murphy decided SO shortly De
fore noon, Tuesday. after listening 10
the argument OF counsel for two hours
IL was held that the appropriation was
entirely legal. and that the mayor may
do as he pleases with the money al
long as II is spent IN the investigation
OF the street railway situation.
Application for an injunction TO re-
strain the city officials from using tho
money was made by Attorneys Bishop
a. Sullivan, acting for Matthew j. Mae
guire, member of the Federation or
Labor. Mr.. Sullivan tried hard TO
have Mayor Breitmeyer and promi-
nent members OF the committee OF 80
summoned to court to give evidence
as 10 the facts In the case. but Cor
porat!on Counsel Hally conceded all
questions OF fact. Still Mr.. Sullivan
insisted on taking evidence To deter
inc what the term street railway
question" meant.
THE question answers itself"
Judge Murphy said 1T is understood
shall be provided for our present street
railway system when the present fran
chises expire in November 1909 y
must be clear 10 all that the street
car system needs investigation. Ii il
a lamentable fact that the question
was not gone into scientifically and
consecutively 90 years ago The only
question before the court is. Is the
proposed method OF investigation a
legal one, and will the money be paid
out through the usual channels as
provided in the charer?
Mr. Sullivan argued that the apprO.
priation of the money from the con-
tingent fund was illegal, as no con
tngency had arisen. He also claimed
that the committee OF 80 had no lega
standing and should not be recognized
by the court. that il could not compel
the giving OF evidence by railway Of
ficials or anyone else. lie claimed
that the investigation should be done
by the council
Mr. Hally pointed out the Eood done
by other Investigations. and cited the
gas and electric light questions as in
stances where the city benefited great
~ by such procedure. He claimed
the money should come from the con
tingent fund as Il contingency had
arisen. lie said the change in admin
istratiOn and Mr.. Breitmeyer's deter
mination To take this method or inves-
tigation could not be foreseen Ivy the
hoard of estimates last March. ana
the contingency fund was provided
for just such unforeseen circumstances
as had arisen

interesante de bondad, de animation y de algeria.
Su traje era rico y esmerado, pero sin pretensiones.
Lleyaba nn eiegante yestido negro y una preciosa mantle
leta; una capota de encaje, negro %tambi6n, con grandes
flores de tereiopelo encarnadO, cubr1a sus cabellos casta-
nos, sedosos y abundantes.
Abrazo 4 Rosario y la beso con ternura.
-Dios mic, que bella estas! -exclano mirandola-:
No tie habia visto desde que te deje de dos meses; pero tie
hubiera conocido, porque te pareces mucho a tn madre.
iAh! nunca olvidare ell modo con que me Guido, cuando
fui a pasar un verano a tn pueblo y cal tan enferma. No
pudiendo dar 4 tn madre otra prueba de grattud, quise
ser tn madrina cuando tie do a luz y 20 me r%estableci, y
ahora estoy orgullosa de tener tan linda ahijada.
