Payment Neglected.

Payment has been neglected however.
by the terminal company and the Baltl-
more and Ohio Railroad Company, and
in consequence the property upon which
the 1909 taxes Were due and unpaid was
offered for sale in March. 1910. No one
offered to bid in the same, SO il seems
likely that this tax will be difficult to
collect under present legal requirements.
Some additional legislation will be re-
Quired to enforce the payment of this
tax, which at present amounts to about
$500 for the past two years.

NON-PAYMENT Of TAXES
IS SUBJECT Of REPORT
Terminal Company and B. &
o. Declared to Be in
Arrears.

Because the District has been unable to
collect Se9Eo in taxes on certain prop
erty turned over to the Washington
Terminal Company and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company. which has
been due, IL is claimed 10y the assessor,
Tor the last two years, an effort will Ice
made at the coming session of Congress
TO have laws. passed which will enforce
payment of this amount.
The land in question includes certain
streets and highways which were closed

inSton and To make the plan of the Union
station. its Niaducts bridges. tracks. etc.
possible. The land, highways and streets
were surrendered TO the railroads FOR
their use according to the assessor.
Subject of Taxation.
He claims that these abandoned high
ways became subject to taxation through
section OF an act of Congress ap-
proved February -, 1903, the first para.
graph of which reads:
That the property owned or occupied
by the terminal company or by the Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington Rail
road Company, or by the Baltimore and
ONO Railroad Company under authority
or this act, or otherwise. together with
the improvements that may be put there
on. shall be subject to taxation I'm the
District of Columbia in the same manner
ana TO the same extent as other property
In the District, and all tracks and sidings
snail be taxed as real estate"
In report to the Commissioners As
SCISSOR Richards says:
In accordance with the requirements,
all abandoned streets where occupied or
used by the terminal company or the
railroad companies were assessed and
bills furnished for the years 1859 and
1910. These assessments have been paid
so far as they affect the Philadelphia.

A PLEA FOR CONCRETE PAVING.
BY the Committee on Municipal Affairs
of the MarshaI!town Club

ny the COMMITTEE on M unIc pal Affairs
of the MarshaItown Club.
Mr.. George Herman. chairman street
and alley committee, and the city
council.
Gentlemen: The committee of the
Marshalltown Club on municipal af-
fairs" beg leave 10 submit for your
consideration the following report on
street paving.
First. The object. of this report is to
aid you in selecting a substantial and
durable pavement at as low a cost as
possible TO the tax payer, believing, as
we do, that such a pavement is within
easy reach and that there is no neces-
sity Of paying fancy prices for so
called patent pavements, or even high
priced brick.
We are aware that the name Of a
pavement does not make a pavement"
1t requires good material and honest
work TO insure good results, regardless
of the name. Because the brick pave
ment on Main street between Fifth and
Sixth avenues wore out before the last
installment for its cost was paid, does
not prove that all brick pavements are
worthless. and so with any form of
pavement. A poorly constructed piece
does not prove that all is worthless, so
when an advocate Of brick paveme nt
exhibits photographs of concrete pave
ment worn out, it simply shows that
he has found weak spot, and by that
attempts to condemn all.
The materials for a. first class con-
crete pavement are all produced in
Iowa. The repairs to a concrete pave
ment made necessary by water or
sewer connections or from any cause,
can be made with home labor and ma
terial.
Concrete paving has no special in
terests to push it. The materials of
which it is made are within the reach
Of all. NO patent to be paid for" 1T
is working it's way by reason of it's
merits, slowly but surely, and is being
opposed by all other paving interests.
A letter addressed to Prof A
Marston, Of Ames Agricultural COL
lege, asking him for specifications for
an ideal concrete paving brings a set
Of specifications with his endorsement.
which are those adopted by Mason
City.
If concrete pavement as laid in Fond
du Lac and Mason City, the latter hav-
ing the endorsement of such eminent
authority as Professor Marston. of
Ames, is what it is claimed to be. why
should not the tax payer of Marshall
town be entitled to similar results?
Most respectfully submitted for your
consideration by

disaster will not deter them from try

to spend the entire summer in camp.

DENIsoN COMMERCIAL CLUB

WOULD HAVE MEETING
HELD IN THIS CITY
Efforts Made to Get Commercial and
Automobile Clubs of Marsh aItown
nterested-Woud Be Short Cut for

ison Club Enthusiastic.

The plan suggested in the Times
Republican several days ago, for the
building and maintenance Of a good
road thru central Iowa, east and west to
attract automobiles thru the city, has
been taken up in earnest by the Com
mercial Club of Denison, a live west
ern Iowa town. This club is taking
the initiative, and has mailed letters to
all commercial clubs between and in
Guiding Clinton and Council Bluffs,
with the object of interesting all towns
IN a river 10 river dragged road thru
mid-Iowa, following the Nor thwestern
railroad.
The Denison committee is composed
of W. c. Rollins, DR.. B. F. Philbrook,
and Fred W. Meyers, and is now so1ic-
iting the cooperation of other towns
in carrying out the project. The Mar
shalitown Club has been approached,
and Will doubtless take some action.
The Denison committee is anxious that
meeting be called TO formulate
definite plan of action. and that this
meeting to be held in Marshalltown as
the most central point in the state east
and west
The Denison club has suggested that
the journey TO this city. or wherever
the meeting be held, be made in auto
mobiles. Some city in the eastern part
of the state can entertain the auto
mobilists of that division on the even
ing before the day of meeting, and
Denison will care for those OF the west
ern division. On the meeting day the
two professions will start toward the
meeting place.
Denison Enthusiastic.
The Denison Commercial Club com
mittee is enthusiastic in the plan to
have a model road thru the central
portion of the state from the Mississippi
to the Missouri river. In its letter the
committee says:
There can be no question as to the
desirability of such highway. Here
tofore this has been the great trans
continental overland route, the coun-
ties 10 the south of Us have planned
highway which will attract much of
this traffic. Why should we not offer
the tourists a choice Of routes? These
tourists, as we know, spend consider
able sums en- route, and they do much
TO advertise the section thru which
they pass. Further than this, good
roads will be help TO every commun-
ity.
1T has been suggested that if this
letter meets with sufficient and salts
factory response, a general meeting be
called at some point in central Iowa.
That as many as possible be requested
70 go to the meeting place by auto,
thus forming two great professions
across the state urea ching the RoSpel
Of good roads as they go, creat ting en-
thusiasm and studying the nature and
needs of the roads to be traversed.

Railroad Commission Finds Nothing
> Additional in Wreck Probe.

= Additional in Wreck Probe.
Des Moines Tribune: Secretary
Dwight Lewis of the state railway
commission has returned from Mar
shall county, where he was seeking
further information concerning the dis
astrous Rock Island wreck of March
81 in which over half a hundred people
lost their lives.
Secretary Lewis was dispatched to
the scene of the wreck by the commits
sion following the receipt of reports
that several eye witnesses of the wreck
who had not testified at the hearing
held by the commission had made the
statement that when the train rolled up
TO the point where it was derailed, the
lead tender was swerving from side to
side and was bobbng up and down on
the rails.
Secretary Lewis was unable to verify
this statement, altho he found a half
dozen persons who saw the accident
and who saw the train thirty seconds
before it went into the ditch.
These witnesses all told Secretary
Lewis and his assistant, William
Henry, that the train was running
slowly and that the tender was not
bobbing up or down or swerving from
sue " sAue SeNeldi uecIdIeO ulldl tne
slow rate Of speed of the train was
noticeable and that it was not going
nearly as fast as the regular passenger
trains over the line
Bert Harders and Bert Hern were

wreck, witnessed the wreck and said
the train was running slow
