PROTESTS Of CLUB
COMMITTEE
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB PUBLIC
INTEREST COMMITTEE SUMMIT
TED REPORT AGAINST STREET
IMPROVEMENT.

The Commercial club public inter.
est committee on yesterday submit.
ted report at the MONDAY meet
| ing which created considerable dis
cussion. 1t was a report against the
improvements as contemplated by
the city council and it was signed by
the five members of the committee
1t is as follows:
Our committee has been asked by
the officers of the Commercial club
| and the property owners in the i'm
provement district, commonly known
as the West End improvement dis
trict. to investigate the proposed as
sessments and improvements in this
district.
We find after careful investigation
that the property holders were JUS
titled in the protests which were
filed with the city council; that the
cost of the improvements is excessive
and entirely too heavy to be borne
by the class of property and prop
erty holders, who we find in most
instances are men of moderate
means. AS to why the estimates of
these improvements should run so
heavy, we are unable to fully state
We find first, however, that labor
is very high compared with that of
other years. Material we also find
is higher.
The cost of improving the squares
at the intersection of the different
streets we find is included in the
assessments of the property owners
in this district only, and that it is
not paid for from the general fund,
as has heretofore been done in the
other improvement districts. We
feel that this is unjust towards the
property holders in this new i'm
provement district.
We find also that the council has
provided for six-foot walks instead
of four and half walks which were
placed in the other districts.
They have arranged also for a
three-course Basalt surfacing with
shell rock for binding, which neces-
sarily makes the surfacing cost much
heavier than any other in the city
We find that a good many of the

property owners In the district feel
that walks four and one-half feet
wide are ample; also q great many
who think that the larger proportion
of the board walks are still In good
condition and should be used at least
another year.
AS committee, we feel that the
using of this Basalt and shell rock
is somewhat of an experiment and
that the city would hardly be justi-
fled in surfacing large improve
ment district as this is with any
material which has not shown that
it is entirely practicable for this
country.
We would recommend: First
That the sewer be built this year.
If it can be done at a more reason
able cost than estimated by the En-
gineer;
Second-That the streets be grad
ed, if it is found that it can be done
reasonably;
Third-That the street curbing be
put in at a reasonable cost.
The sewering necessary must be
done first. The grading of the
streets will enable trees to be plant
ed, parking strips fixed up and the
curbing will protect the street lines
and corners. The balance of the i'm
provements, we think, should be de-
layed at least another year, or I'M
til such time as can be ascertained
what style of surfacing is best adapt
ed for this district, and the price of
labor and material may have been
reduced.
We feel that a report should be
made to the property holders in this
district showing what each item will
cost and just what work is intended
to be done, in ample time so that the
property holders may protest if it
is not satisfactory to the majority Of
them.

VICTIMS OF PLOT?
Assassination Of New York Children
Possibly Not Madman's Act.

New York, Jan. 13.-A vengeful Syrian
plot, which partially miscarried, may be
the explanation of the act of the seeming
mailman who late yesterday wantonly
shot two 6-year-old boy coasters on
Washington Heights, killing one of them
and fatally wounding the other.
The police We're trying to run down the
shaggy dark man" described by the
panic-strcken boys among whom the
murderous stranger appeared. But while
still working on the theory that the man
was lunatic or a homicidal pervert, the
police are giving attention to the alter
native theory that Robert Tomas. the
dead boy, and Arthur SHIRLEY, who was
fatally shot, were the victims of plots by
enemies of the SHIRLEY family. On this
theory Youns Tomas is supposed to have
been mistaken for Nassib Shibley, an
adopted son of Arthur Shibley, Sr.
Nassib Shbley's father killed himself
and his wife in 1908 because of domestic
differences He was an attorney and had
persistently fought certain Syrian secret
societies. His brother Arthur adopted
his son. who was not in the crowd of
boys among whom the assassin appeared
yesterday. 1t is assumed, however, that
the stranger, believing young Tomas to
be the son of the dead attorney, killed
the boy and then shot down his intended
victims foster brother.

WHY THEY FAIL,
Most Pile Remedies Miss the Cause Of
Piles

Disagreeable treatment with oint-
ments or suppositories usually fails to
cure piles and cutting them off won't re-
move the cause. Such treatment only
moderates the outside effects of the dis
ease and fails to remedy the inside
cause. The up-to-date doctors now use
internal medicine. to free the circulation
in the lower bowel, and SO remove the
disease. 11 -

wood, not unlike bike frame, and
rests on the runners, the rear run
ner having bearing surface of two
feet and the forward runner one root.
