FOR NEW CITY
ASSESSMENT

What is regarded as one of the best
acts despite all the tangles into which
the present city Democratic admins
tration has gotten itself was the in
PRODUCTION at the regular meeting of
Council last night. of a proposed
ordinance providing for a complete
assessment of the real estate of Will
mington. After given its first and
second readings the measure was re-
ferred to the law committee. The
ordinance provides that each of the
present assessors procure the services
Of two competent men to assist them
and they, during the time the assess
ment is being made, receive extra
compensation. The amount of this
compensation and the salaries of the
four assistants was left in blank. A
new assessment has been urged for
long time.
Mr.. Conway brought up his coal
ordinance providing that dealers sell
tons of 2,240 pounds instead of 1000
pounds and after some discussion a
recess was taken to discuss the origi-
nal bill and a substitute which he in
tended to have read last night. The
councilmen retired to the Mayors
Office and upon returning, Mr.. Conway
said that the members could net
agree on the ordinance and he asked
for more time to consider it.
Many bills were read and referred
TO the respective committees.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., June "a
Speeding back to Washington pre-
pared to make the fight of his poll
teal career, and facing one of the
hardest party problems of his ad-
ministration. President Taft is plan
ming his future moves with a COM
plete realization of just what is be-
fore him. Immediately at his arrival
at the capitol, it is stated, he will
call the Republican and Democratic
leaders into consultation. He Will
then, it is understood, make it plain
that he will veto any tariff bills sent
to him by Congress. His excuse Will
be the fact that he wants the report
of the tariff board before acting.
The reason for the delay in arriv-
ing at Fall River yesterday was a
conference on the Mayhower At
torney-General Wickersham and Sem
ators Brandegee, Crane and Lippitt
discussed the new order OF things at
Washington with the President and
they are accompanying the President
to New York today to go further into
the situation.
The President expects that the
reciprocity bill will reach him un-
amended. Should a tariff revision
amendment be tackled on it, it can be
said with authority that it would be
vetoed.
What we are after in our legisla-
tion in the future is facts" was the
way the President summed up condi-
tions in his speech here last night.
This, his friends say. is his way Of
serving notice that he will veto the
tariff bills sent to him. Scientific
