lozenge jar on the top shelf Giuseppe
had essayed his initial flight, which
ended in the demolition of show

After breaking away from the

READY TO CREATE
ANOTHER OFFICE
Council Urged to Elect Assessor
Of Damages at Salary Of
$500 Year.

The Common Council will hold Its
regular monthly session tonight at .
o'clock, with large volume Oh Dust
ness in prospect Efforts will be made
to secure brief meetings OF several I'M
portant committees of the Council just
previous to the general meeting. In
order to forward important papers,.
Among these Will be the contract for
printing the new city code, for which
the Committee on Printing and Claims
will open bids, and the payment OF the
award made by the arbitrators in the
Fairmount grading. The city agreed
to the arbitration. and is therefore
bound to pay the findings in the indi-
vidual cases, but the appropriation
must go through the usual course of
being recommended by the Committees
on Streets and Finance
An effort will be made TO secure a
suspension OF the rules in. the Council
to secure the adoption OF the ordinance
creating the position OF Assessor OF
Damages at salary OF $500 year.
1t has been recommended by the street

argued that much important work Is
being held back for lack of such an
officer to assess damages, the city be-
ing unwilling to get into another such
controversy as that in Fa.tmonnt,

Takes But Little Time.
It Is held that after the accumulated
work has been done the position Will
require but few days time In each
month, since only a few blocks are or
dered graded at each meeting of the
street Committee. For that reason the
salary has been fixed at rate that
is not intended TO cover the whole OF

knowledge OF real estate values Is
essential, and there are number OF
applicants for the position at the sal
