CAR BARN ENTRY
 PROJECT IN AIR Mayor of Opinion that the Matter Will Have to Go to Railroad Commission
 for Settlement. Alderman Wilson Saved Special Committees Re port from Defeat at Last Session of Common Coun- cil.

The indications are that the uues- ton of getting in and out of the car barn will have to be settled some where else other than in the Common Council. Any plan to give up any of the city's streets seems to be unpopu- lar and the majority of them had a wallop in both hands last Monday night ready for the report of the com mittee of ingress which had devised a plan, part of which called for laying a track through Water street from Water to Gold streets.
 Alderman Wilson saw that there was something in the wind and he had the report laid over until the next meeting in order to preserve the report in its entirety.
 Mayor Lee. who is aware of the un- popularity of the committees report said this morning he was of the opin- ion that the matter will have to be referred to the railroad commission so they could thresh it out. At a previous hearing of the railroad commission held in this city the public sentiment was against the two plans proposed by the railroad. The special was ap- pointed in order that the commission CTS would see what the city proposed in the way of an entrance and exit to the barn. But as the indications are the council will not ratify the findings of the committee the matter will again go before the railroad commission

WON'T KICK COFFEE POT.
Noviski Swears Too That He Won
 Trump His Wife Any More.

Trump His Wife Any More. Greenwich, April 7.-A curious oath was, that taken in the Borough Court yesterday by Anthony Novislxi, who had been found guilty of assault on his wife, Margaret NovisEli, and fined s10 and costs.
 Kneeling at his wife's feet in the middle of the court room, with tears in his eyes and hands pressed together in supplication, Noviski repeated the oath:
 '.So long as live will never again strike you, Margaret Noviski, my wife, nor kick the coffee pot, so help me my Creator
 The couple quarreled as Mrs. Noviski was pouring coffee at their home in Glenville and it was alleged that No viski struck her on the head with his fist, then played football with the fam fly coffee pot
 When Noviski was sentenced it was evident that he would have to go to jail, for he hadn't money to pay his fine. He knew his wife had some, however, and after the court adjourned he fell at her feet and begged her to save him from jail.
 Mrs Noviski apparently did not be- lieve in plain promises, so she insisted that he swear to carry them out. Court Interpreter George Patkos formulated the oath and Novish repeated it. Mrs. Noviski then retired a moment eX- tracted S1O from her hosiery and paid the fine after which the couple em- braced and went home arm in arm.

 Hartford. April 7-The condition ot Governor George L. Lilley, who is seriously i'll at his home here remains practically unchanged to-day although his physicians feel greatly encouraged by the verdict of Dr. Janeway which was that the case was not as serious as they feared he might think it to be.
 The Governor passed a comfortable night and rested well this morning. No formal statement was issued to-day by the physicians in attendance as they stated that they could only await developments. It was learned how ever, that sufficient improvement is within the next two or three weeks that will warrant his removal to a more beneficial climate.
 The Governor is rational at all times. but very weak. Both Houses of the state legislature passed a resolution to- day granting the Lieutenant Governor the right to exercise the authority of the Governor. during MT. Lilley's ill., ness.

COTTON MILLS
TO PAY TAXES
CITY ATTORNEY HOLDS THAT
PROPERTY IS NOT EXEMPT
FROM MUNICIPAL LEVY.
RECORDER is DIRECTED TO ACT
Opinion Will Add About $3.50 Per
Annum In Revenue to the
city's Exchequer

According to the opinion of City At
torney Hatcher the property of the
columbia Cotton Mill Company Will
he assessable for taxes for municipal
purposes for the year 1908 and for
every year thereafter, the porperty OF
this company having been brought
within the city limits by the new char
ter of 1907, In his opinion, which is
an elaborate discussion of the constitu-
tional provisions with respect to the
levying and collecting of taxes, the
City Attorney holds that the city must
assess for taxes all property alike. In
,ursuance to the opinion of the City
Attorney a resolution was adopted by
.ne Board OF Mayor and Aldermen on
Thursday night directing the Recorder
to place upon the assessment rolls
the property of this corporation. The
property heretofore exempt from city
taxes is assessed at about $4,000.
The city taxes on this sum will amount
to $3.50.
In his opinion the City Attorney sets
out in full the several provisions OF
the constitution with respect to tax
alton and then quotes from a number
of Supreme Court decisions wherein
these provisions have been construed
and given force and effect. He con-
cludes as follows:
1T will thus be seen that 1t Is the
imperative duty OF municipal cor
poration to levy an equal and uniform
tax on all property within its limit
except such as has been lawfully ex'
empted from taxation. No property
can be lawfully exempted from tax
alton unless 1t comes within the ex'
ception in section 2s. article OF the
constitution above set out.
"The property of the Columbia Cot
ton Min Company is not such as may
be legally exempted from taxation
and am therefore Of the opinion that
| Il Is not only subject to taxation, but
THAT Il is the imperative duty OF the
City Of Columbia to levy and collect
the same proportionate tan on said
property as lie levied on other property

Fire. which broke out in the Guest
House just before 9 O'Clock Friday
night, did serious damage, and but for
the good work done by the Fire de-
gartment, the entire building would
have been consumed.
The flames are said to have started
from an exploding lamp in rear room
upstairs, but this is not definitely
known. Considerable excitement re-
suited among the boarders and others
who soon reached the scene. The pic
ture shows were running full blast and
people turned out in force and soon
filled the house. Furnishings were
moved to some extent by outsiders.
and Mr.. and Mrs. Polk are most APP
preciative of the assistance given.
The rear of the house was seen in
full blaze and the infiamable material
caused the flames to spread rapidly,
but by good work and the use of much
water, the building was saved. How
ever, there is large loss by reason OF
the building being flooded, and the
insurance will scarcely cover the loss
on building, and perhaps not on fur
nishings. The building is the proper.
