BRICK HOUSES
AT HAMMOND
PLANS ARE BEING DRAWN FOR
SEVEN TO REPLACE THOSE
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Plans and specifications are now be-
ing drawn to build seven brick houses
to replace those destroyed by fire On
Monday morning at Hammond.
The insurance people have been no
titled and as sooif as they get their
investigations completed and the loss
adjusted the brick company will start
the WORK on the new houses.
A large boarding house will be the
first butt and later the dwellings will
be erected.
The loss of the eleven houses makes
it very -inconventent for those who
lived IN them and two or three fami.
lies may be found now living in a
house where there is only room for
one. Little Falls is the nearest place
and several of the men are stsrying
there.
For Inc present only the seven
houses ere needed and that is all that
will be built now, but in the near fu.
ture more will be constructed.

ALDRICH. STARTS
TARIFF DEBATE
PROMISES ABUNDANT REVENUE
FROM HIS 6LLL-HE EXPLAINS
ITS PROVISIONS.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Tn open.
ing tine debate q the pending thrift
bill Senator Aldrlch, chairman OF the
committee on finance, assured the Sen.
ate On most positive terms that the
bill reported from the committee on f.
nance would produce ample revenue
for the government. He suggested
that If by any possibility these esti-
mates should prove to be incorrect the
duty of Congress would be to reduce
expenditures and make them conform
to actual revenue conditions, and not
to impose new and onerous tlxes."
Although he did not refer specifi-
cally to any proposition to impose an
income tax, his statement declaring
that ample revenue may be derived
from other sources was accepted as
direct opposition to all such PROPOSE
items. Nearly every senator was pres
ent when Mr.. Aldrich spoke, and most
careful attention was accorded him
on both sides OF the chamber. severn
leading senators who desired to reply
to Mr.. Aldrich deferred doing so until
they could carefully study his state
ments.
Compares Two Bills.
On the desk of each senator was
a comparison Of the text of the Ding
ley tariff law with the Payne tariff bill
as passed. by the House aud as amend
ed and reported from the senate com.
mittee on finance. In addition state
ment was furnished to each senator
showing the estimated revenue under
the present law compared with the
amended Payne bill. Mr.. Aldrich call.
ed attention to these valumes in be.
ginning his speech.
The Let increase from customs over
the existing law was estimated at SILL
666,74S for the Payne bill as passed by
the House and $s,sS4,426 under the
bill as reported from the Senate COM
mittee. In making the estimates the
revenues produced in 1906 were used
in attaining the comparison with the
House bill, and the revenues for 1907,
when the imports were much large,
In arriving at the comparison with the
possibilities Under the Senate bill. Mr..
Aldrich believes that 1907 was nor.
NAL year, while Representative Payne,
chairman of the House committee on
Ways and Means, believes 1906 was
the last year when conditions were
normal.
