Benedict

A pretty home wedding was sol
emnized Wednesday, June 30, at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.
Temple, when their only daughter,
Miss Alice May Temple, was married
to Mr.. Frank Howe Benedict, of
Sutton, Mass. The house was taste
fully decorated with ferns, cut
flowers and potted plants. The
large bay window was bower of
green and white and at the entrance
was a green arch bestrewn with
white flowers and underneath this
stood the wedding party. The cerc-
mony was performed by lifelong
friend and former pastor of the
bride, Rev. P. G. Lord, the ring SER
vice being used. The wedding
march was played on the piano by
Mr.. E. G. Perkins who also played
softly during the ceremony.
The bride was attractive in a
white silk muslin over a pale blue
silk; the costume and the hand made
lace of the trousseau came from
Cuba. She carried shower bouquet
of bride roses.
Several years ago she originated
and has since conducted society
for mutual help and inspiration,
especially among the shut-ins and
the two secretaries that reside in the
east, Miss Effie s. Chase of Allston,
Mass, and Miss Lena M. Hopkins of
Taunton, Mass, were the only guests
outside the immediate family.
The groom is superintendent of
schools in Massachusetts.
After the ceremony wedding
breakfas was served. On the table
we're choice viands from the West
Indies. Following this was re-
ception for the relatives and near
friends, after which the bridal party
left by auto. After a short trip Mr..
and Mrs. Benedict will spend the
greater part of the summer at the
seashore.
The bride and groom were the
recipients of many gifts, including
$50 in gold. handsome silver tea
service, chatting dish, cut glass. sill
yer, linen, china, hand painted
picture, and many other useful and
ornamental presents.

OPPOSING THE
PAVING BILL
One Classes it With "Iniqui-
tOuS Legislation" William
LaWtOn'S View

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL
viii you kindly permit me through
your paper to express my hearty ap-
proval of Mr. James l.. Bannings let
ter against the proposed new law
compelling abutting property owners
to pay one-third of the street paving
bills, which recently appeared in some
Of the city papers.
II we want to kill the real estate
business, if We want to stop the city's
growth, II we want to stihe building
projects, If we want TO drive out cap
tlal. If we want 10 raise rents and add
to the poor mans load, the best, quick
est, and most effective way of doing
these things is to keep right ON pro-
posing such iniQuitous legislation.
The owners of little homes and rent
ers. and everybody knows that the
renter is the one who finally pays the
taxes, are already paying an appalling
taX-rate on their dwelling places. The
small house is assessed at full value,
and in cases more than the market
value. and is taxed two dollars aud iit-
teen cents per hundredi Boston now
pays but Sl.l6 per hundred, and the
assessment runs much lighter.
II the city is so i'm debt that II can
not stand moro, and surely II cannot
and ought not to be burdened with
debt even as Il is. how can the few
bear the increased burden? Can the
poor man carry a load that all cannot
stand under? Are a few stronger than
many! In the last instance the in
crease I'm costs OF living are shifted
upon the consumer. on the necessaries
| of life. We have become so accustomed
| TO shift expenses upon the poor and
the laborer, that | suppose we fee
that his strong arm and complaceni
heart can pay for the paving of streets
| for carriages, automobiles and cars
and keep them in repair as often as
corporations tear them up and ruiz
/ them by never putting them back good
as they are supposed to do.
