BY VERY CLOSE VOTE
House Favors Bill to Extend
18th Street.
POINT OF NO QUORUM MADE
Animated Discussion Results and
Measure Goes Over Until Next
District Day.
POINT OF NO QUORUM MADE

BY very close margin the House,
IN committee OF the whole, acted favor
ably yesterday on the bill providing for
the extension of 10Th street from Bel
mont road to Biltmore street with a uni
form width Of fifty feet. But when the bill
came up in the House, after the commit
tee had risen, point OF no quorum was
made and the House adjourned, leaving
the measure to receive final action next
District day.
Representative johnson of Kentucky
attacked the measure.
This said he, lis a bill that comes
here under the simple, innocent title for
the extension of 10th street The facts
are these: There is one parcel of land
out there. containing something more
than $4,000 square feet. owned by one of
the distinguished professional men of this
town. That lot now fronts on one street.
If 10th street is extended as provided for
In this bill that lot will then be on a
corner. In other words, it will then
front upon two streets.
Calls for Heavy Expense.
Now. let us see what is to be done in
order to have this lot of something more
than 1900 square feet front upon two
streets. In order to put this block of
thirteen thousand and some odd square
feet upon a corner 25.344 square feet,
equally valuable. must be condemned and
paid for.
1.-TWO bills to accomplish this purpose
have heretofore passed Congress. Under
the first bill jury condemned this 1914
square feet. They fixed the value Of it at
90 cents square foot and they fixed the
benefits at Is cents a square foot. This
left something over 5000 to be paid, but
there was no provision by which the
money was to be Obtained. The court held
that the provision in that bill requiring
the benefits to offset the damages was q
confiscation Of the property. and set it
aside.
Value Increases.
Then another bill passed Congress,
and when the second jury went out
they valued this 25.344 square feet at
IS cents a square foot and held the
dement's to be 12h cents a foot. That
is pending in the courts. Now they
have come with g. bill to raise the
money, and how do they do it? This
bill requires mat all the property lying
within large zone Is to be taxed to
pay for this $4,000 and some odd square
feet. The people who own the property

Among other curiosities in the
Royal library at Stockholm is a giant
bible. 1t measures ninety centime-

meters in breadth-about thirty-fve
by nineteen inches. 1t requires three
men to lift it. There are 300 pages,
but sever have been lost. The parch-

required the skins of 100 rises.
There are two columns on each
page and the book contains the old
and new testaments, with extracts
from "Josephus." The initial letters
are Illuminated. The binding is of
oak, five centimeters in thickness.
The book narrowly escaped destruc-
