gerry will remain chief throughout
Mayor Smiths term. Sdngery had
the backing of an element OF citizen
ship that demands the complete en-
forcement of all police regulations,
and has no other interest in the mat
ter. Voluntary recommendations
from disinterested sources for the
promotion of Singery indicate that
the appointment will be popular as
well as merlted. His record of seven
teen years service has been exam
ined, and. II is said, there is not a
black mark against him.
Chief Collins, who has grown gray
in the service, probably will retire
from active duty. He began the pub
lie service as fireman and was trans

has been in the employ of the city
continuously score of years and
has been chief of police seven years.
There is no better thief taker in the
country. and the efficiency of the de-

order has been severely tested and
proven. He will retire to a well
earned rest from onerous duties.

ferring about the election, and the

In discussing the proposed county

believe that such Il bill would cquallZe
in a satisfactory manner taxation lor
bridge purposes. In this bill all the tax
able property in the county is called
upon to pay its share of the burden.
Those i'm favor Of the Donigan bridge
bill tell US that under the provisions
of that bill the wild lands will pay
their proportionate part Of the tax Tor
the building of bridges the county
tax for the building Of bridges under
the provisions of this act would reach

of taxation for bridge purposes is on

favor of new bridge legislation to re-
love the smaller localities from their
excessive burden and l contend that
whom we take the initial step and put
tba control of the bridges upon the
counf,- we are equalzing the burden.
II is not a radical step for people IN
the counties to submit TO taxes ioi
county institutions. The MAIN opJec-
tion to placing the burden at once up
on the state is that to great extent IL
is a leap in the dark. No other state
has attempted it. But in many states
the county is the unit in caring Tor
bridges. l believe We ought to go $40"
in the matter and submit to the Leg
islature and the people in the state
something which shall equallze the
burden of bridge building. but pc
lieve we should take the initial step
first and see how that works
