LAW PASSES
Act Creating Good Paying
Positions Nay be Repealed
by Incoming Council
REPUBLICANS FIGHT
THE NEW ORDINANCE

City Council last night passed the
ordinance providing for a complete
assessment Of real estate in this city.
the measure naming the men who will
make the assessment, the names be-
ing the same as announced in THE
EVENING JOURNAL several days
ago. The ordinance was passed by
a strict party vote of to 5, the
Democrats voting in the Affirmative.
II is expected that the new Republican
Council Will rescind this action.
The measure names Tax Collector
Morris, w. w. Douty, Republican,
chief assistant TO Tax Collector Nor
ris, and Frederick w Samworth.
Democrat for the northern district,
and Tax Collector Sayers; Thomas +.
Gormley, his chief assistant. Demo-
Gratis, and former Building Inspector
Edward l.. Johnson, Republican, for
the southern district.
The ordinance fixes the monthly
salary of the tax collectors, while
making the assessment, at 500 in ad-
dition to the 5000 a year, and per
cent allowed them on taxes collected
after September. The remaining four
under the law will each receive $3.50
month for their services. It is
estimated that it viii take at least a
year to make the assessment.
Mr.. Benson. Republican. of the
Eighth ward, said that such a meas
ure would have been very good if Of
fered years ago, but now that the city
has a charter commission, which will
probably take up the question of as
sessment and taxation, he thought il
would be better to lay the matter over
for a year.
After the measure was passed by a
majority vote, Mr.. Benson wanted 10
know whether it did not require a
two-thirds vote, as IN his opinion, the
ordinance carried an appropriation
with it.
Mr.. Bilderback said there surely
was some law left. He also was oi
the opinion that It required a two
thirds vote to pass the measure.
Mr.. McGovern made the remark that
he was glad to hear that somebody
thought there still was some law. H.
said II has beon the custom Tor out
siders to make the law and not fo'
Council. Re claimed that the CIT
charter gives the Council the right t
pass the ordinance by a majorit,
vote.
Mr.. Downs, of the Eighth ward, als'
was Of the opinion that the measur'
carried an appropriation with It ans
required a two-thirds vote.
Mr.. Kane said the public is demand
ing a complete assessment, and h
called attention to the fact that therI
was no politics in the measure.
Mr. Banning considered that thu
measure was one of the most import
ant acts passed upon by this Council
and as the question had been raisel
as to the vote required, he was will
ing, despite the fact that he had rule'
on the matter, to allow Mr.. Bilderbacl
or Mr.. McGovern to come to the presi
dents chair and look up the law ol
the question.
Mr. McGovern insisted this wa
useless as the chair had already rule
on the question. He said that Coun

under a new legislative enactment
and he saw no difference whatever Il

The STRENGTH of Rings.

Some elaborate calculations, backed
by experiments, have been made to de
ter1nine the breaking strength OF
rings. 1t appears that ring of ductile
material like malleable iron will be
pulled out into the form of a long link
before it breaks and that the ultimate
strength of the ring is virtually indie
pendent of it's diameter. Fracture
finally occurs as the result of almost
pure tension, and the resistance to
breaking is little less than twice that
Of a rod Of the same cross section sub
jected to a straight pull. AS the ring
increases in diameter there appears to
be a slight approach toward equality.
with double the strength Of q bar.
Thus a three inch ring made of three
quarter inch iron broke at nineteen
and one-half tons; q four inch ring at
nineteen and nine-tenths tons and six
inch ring at twenty tons, the strength
of bar of the same metal being ten
and one-half tons.

Fire destroyed the big new barn, a
tobacco shed and several smaller build
ings owned by VIM. Sturdevant, and
occupied by Peter Garry, in the town
of Magnolia, three miles southeast of
this city, Tuesday morning, Nov. 3rd.
The flames evidently broke out in the
barn first but their origin is entirely
unknown. There was a gang of men
engaged in shredding corn at the place
at the time, bnt the fire could not have
originated from the engine as gasoline
fuel was being used. The entire build
ing, sixty feet long by forty feet wide,
was burned to the ground, together
with the contents, including large
amount of hay, five hundred bushels of
oats, straw and other grain and fod-
der. The structure was valued at
$500. The fire spread to large to-
bacco shed near by which was filled
with tobacco. The total loss is es-
timated at 1000, only part of which
was covered by insurance.
