would be a great factor in develop

Mr.. Garretson said he did not think

of the family would be sure 10 come.

them in the local newspapers.
Mr.. Mullen Has Plan.
Mr.. Mullen said he had been en-
gagged in the improvement work and
that IL would not adjust itself for a
year. He said that wages had to be
in evidence before families would
come here. Factories must be built
and the work must be here to attract
people and the Board OF Trade must
get this question settled before Il
can attract families of working peo-
pie. He said he was working upon a
plan which he hoped TO submit to
the National Board of Trade by fall
that would prove a solution to the
problem.
Mr.. Nelson said he thought that
there were too many industries On
the same line. which made dull times
when that particular line of work is

quarters in Eden Hall. President o.
Curtis Purdy occupied the presidents
chair and Howell S England filled
the position Of secretary.
G. H. Rudolph. chairman of house
and social features, said that there had
been some talk Of having a luncheon
once each week. Some favored IL. he
said and some cannot make II con-
venient to come. It was suggested, he
said, to have a dinner once month,
beginning at 6 o'clock in the even
ing and get II over before the meet
ing.
Mr. England and President Purdy
spoke in favor Of the monthly dinner
William D. Mullen suggested that the
Board had better walt until II was as
certained just what the Boards mem
bership would he. In case Of the
adoption of the monthly dinner, he
thought, it would be a great benefit tc
the Board
Colonel Edgar l.. Haynes spoke In
favor of the luncheon.
c. d. Garrettson' spoke of the fea.
ture as a good one and told how sue.
cessfully such a scheme had been op.
Grated in Cincinnati. He advocated a
Business Mems Club.
No definite action was taken upon
the question.
Opposed to Bill Boards.
Mr.. Garrettson of the improvement
committee said there we're bill boards
in the heart OF the city which he
thought We're a disgrace and eyesort
to the city He thought that if fee
of 81 per foot was charged for such
space it would tend to put a stop to Il
He offered the following resolution
Resolved, That City Council be re-
quested not TO pass the ordinance reg
ulating fences and bill boards until

Board Of Trade to have a conference
with them upon the subject"
The resolution was adopted.
To Attract Industries.
The report of Chairman J. II. Me-
haffey OF the industrial committee.
started an interesting discussion as to
how 10 attract industries to Whining
ton. Mr.. Mehaffey spoke Of the delay
on the part Of owners or agents of
factory or manufacturing sites in Al
ing descriptions and other Information
regarding such sites with the COM
mittee About 90 sites are on file, most
ly small ones, he said, and in many
cases the information is incomplete.
Many of the important sites have not
been filed
Mr.. Mehaffey said the committee had
$3.50 on hand which It desired to ex-
pend in most iudicious manner to at
tract industries, and had thought il ad-
visable TO. expend a portion of the
money in signboards along the rail-
roads and a portion In well-compiled
advertising literature.
Mr.. Mehaffey told of having a large
sign in the West yard aud the prospect
Of another at Clamyont. and another
at Gordon Heights. He asked for a
free discussion Of the report by the
members.
Price of Factory Sites.
Mr. Gsrretson said no thought Il
was foolish expenditure OF money
to advertise for manufacturers TO To-
cate in Wilmington unless there was
a change of heart in the people who
own land in Wilmington. He said he
thought that the sites should be- Sc
cured before the advertising is done.
Mr. Mehaffey said that It was possi-
bic 10 secure land in Wilmington at
a reasonable price.
Mr.. England. who said he had seen
the West yard sign said he thought
that It might be better to have less
lettering upon the sign.
Mr.. Bond suggested that II the COM
mittee could assure manufacturers

2O-Cenf lump in Tax Rate
Needed TO Meet Expenses

City Auditor John d. Kurtz submit
ted to Council last night statement
of the estimated receipts and expendi-
lures for the coming fiscal year. The
receipts, according to his figures. will
be s1,O97725.7S, and the expenses.
S1,1s6,6s7.s4 to which he does not add
the water loans which will fall due
during the year.
The receipts are estimated on a
tax rate Of s1.50 for each s1Oo of as
sessment With an increase of 20
cents on the tax rate the receipts
would be s1,1ss,ooO. Just about
enough to meet the expenses for the
year, Mr.. Kurtz points out.
In other words, according to his
figures, 1t would be necessary to make
an increase Of 20 cents on the 800 in
the tax rate If the city is 10 obtain
enough revenue to meet its demands.
Nearly Had a Wrangle.
With these startling figures set out
by Auditor Kurtz-the first time any
auditor has ever had the nerve" TO
caution Council about such an i'm
portant matter--it is likely that
Council will not increase the tax
rate. but will leave the rate the same
as at present and cause another
financial iuggle for the next two
years.
Mr.. Kurtz's statement was referred
10 the finance committee to take a
nap.

For a short time last night at the
Council meeting it looked as II Bailiff
of Council James ]. Riley and City
Auditor Kurtz would engage in a
wrangle
They had words, but few knew what
was ge;ns on, as The affair passed
over quickly. The trouble started
when Mr. Kurtz handed Mr. Riley
some papers to present to President
of Council Banning.
AS the bailiff passed Councilman
Kane's chair the latter reached for a
glass of water on his desk, and Mr..
Kurtz, evidently thinking that the
Councilman from the Fourth ward
was after the papers he had given
to Mr.. Riley, jumped up from his seat,
outside the railing, and said loud
enough for Riley to hear, "Alr. Riley,
don't do that"
Riley kept on walking to the presi-
dents desk and made some remarks
to Mr.. Kurtz about understanding his
business and putting Mr.. Kurtz out
Of the room if he disturbed the meet
ing. He afterward went TO Mr..
Kurtz and had private talk with
him.
Mr.. Kane went TO. the presidents
chair, upon being called there, and
was handed the papers and later pre-
sented them under the head of new
business. The letters included a
statement of the auditor of the esti-
mated receipts and expenditures for

Judge Sheafors ruling Is the first
step in the battle which mining men
have begun to obtain better laws re-
garding taxing Of mines. The courts
action is important in mining tax suits
in Colorado in that 1t is the first in
tefpretation by any court OF the mean
ing of the statute under which min
ing properties are valued for taxation.
The court held that the assessor OF
Teller county has misinterpreted sec
ton 662O OF the Revised Statutes OF
1908 as to the meaning placed on the
words gross proceeds" He has de-
cided that gross proceeds" means
gross output. Judge Sheafor ruled that
the term means the amount received
in dollars and cents for ore after treat
ment and transportation charges have
