The public is interested in knowing

lichtened: but that question belongs
rather 10 the future than to the present

knowing whether the roads are over

rather TO the past, for what has been

INCREASED BORROWING CAPACITY

The increase in the assessed valuation
of real property in this city proves 10 ne
much larger than was expected. The
tax commissioners were known to be-
under the Mayors instructions. making
determined effort TO cure the lnequah-
ties which had been found To exist on
preyious assessment rolls, and an adj
vance in valuations of about S6oo,OOo,ooo
was looked for. The advance turns out
to he nearly S9O0,O00,O00. The heaviest
increases fall on the suburban parts 81

known not to have kept pace with inc

AN IMPERFECT WARNING

To tho Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: When Justice Gorham, OF the Dis
,rict Court, at Providence rendered de-
cision a few days ago holding the cut-of
a sufficient automobile warning signal, he
raised a question OF the most vital interest
10 motorists everywhere.
II Is true that the cutoff makes as much
of a warning sound as some automobile
horns. but il does not possess the principle
OF the warning signal that is of value. The
motorst fayors a signal that will impei
man and beast to get out Of the way In
stantly. without stopping 10 look or to In
ouire into the cause OF the noise until a
point of safety is reached.
This variety OF signal serves double
purpose. IL saves life and prevents dam
age suits. Therefore, II is what is needed.
As mOtorist who visits many sections
OF the United states and is reader OF
your paper, offer the suggestion that you
ask the motorists among your readers TO
give their views of this question, whose
importance can hardly be overestimated.

CENSOR FOR MOVING PICTURES.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: one OF the greatest problems OF the
day is that of the moving picture SHOW
owing 10 the dcmoralizing character OF the
pictures. such as those representing crime
etc. and the low class vaudeville perform
ance with which the pictures are pre-
sented in all parts Of the country. There
have been many steps taken to try TO
prohibit such pictures In these cheap thea
tres, but would II not be more effective to
start a. the root OF the evil-that is. with
the producers, the film makers? Most OF
tho Objectionable films come from France.
and as the importation OF immoral prints
and publications OF various classes is pro-
hihlted. why should there not be an effort
made To prevent these indecent films en-
terins tho country by having strict ex-
animation made Of them?
