In answering, the encouragement
holds that the statutes are specific and

is regardless of whether such assess
ment was for privilege, personally,

they have the right of recovery or

KNOX MAY

WASHINGTON, March lit is
whispered today that Secretary
of State Knox is preparing to issue
a private proclamation of peace
and forgive Knox Jr. for his recent
elopement with a sales girl.
Though the American premier
has apparently not shown much in
terest in the activities of his son
since the young mans marriage, it
is known that he has been watch
ing developments closely.
1t is understood that Knox was
much pleased when his son started
to work the moment he was thrown
on his own resources.
There probably will be no string
attached to the eldest knoXs for
giveness. 1t was reported that the
young man is to be sent to Wash
ington to sell automobiles in the
capital city. If the boy decides to
come here there probably will be no
peace proclamation made, If
Knox Jr. decides to remain in
Providence, however, he and his
bride will receive the paternal
blessing, it is stated.

When II comes to procrastina-
ton, shifting of responsibility and
failure to get results, the city hall
at the present time has about
reached the limit.
Take the case of a citizen living
on the North Side, just reported
to The Press. He has a house on
the rear of a corner lot fronting on
Indiana avenue. A sewer is being
built in the alley, which was form
erly private property, the right of
the city to occupy the alley being
secured by easement from the
abutting property owners.
In forcing the sewer through the
alley the contractor cayed in a
cesspool belonging to this property
owner, who, having modern
home and no other provisions for
caring for the sanitary needs of
his family, appeared at the city hall
to enter protest and demand that
the cesspool be repaired and made
serviceable until such time as the
sewer is completed.
Before going to the city hall the
matter was taken up twice with
the contractor, who refused to do
anything. Two visits were then
made to the board of public works,
which referred the inquirer to the
engineers office. An inspector was
sent out by the engineer and after
three or four visits to the office
the caller was referred to the
health department.
Here another inspector was ois-
spatched to the scene and after
two or three trips the matter was
shifted over to the crematory de-
partment An inspection by the
crematory department and esti-
mate of SIS for cleaning out the
cesspool followed, but no remedy
was held forth for the repair of
the trouble.
Then there was an appeal to the
corporation counsefs office, with
the same results. Finally the mat
ter was taken up with the mayor,
who recommended that the prop
erty owner repair the damaged
cesspool at his own expense and
file his bill with the city SO that
II can be taken up with the con-
tractor later.
After IS visits to the city hall
the cesspool is still without repair,

seem unable to make one obstinate
