considerable discussion.
With temperance, taxation, wo-
mans suffrage, workingmen's com

primary measures in addition to fish
and game and a dozen other impor-
tant bills many of the members of
the General Assembly are discussing
the proposition of taking a recess of
perhaps four weeks in order to dis
cuss many matters with their con-
stituents. If a recess of this length
is taken it will be in line with a sug-

in the session.
The Senate has ordered to a third

Only one bill was introduced in the
House this afternoon it comes from

and relates to the appraisal of rail

That part of the bill relating to ap-
praisal of railroad property simply
makes the present machinery for APP
praising railroads more easily opera
ted and also provides for appraisal of
any property left out and for reap
praisal in case the original was de-
fective. The other provisions of the
bill provide for the appraisal of the
electric power plants owned by rail-
roads and operated in part for operat
ing railroads and for generating heat
and power for commercial purposes.

provides that entire plant shall be APP
praised by the state and be subject
to same tax as railroads, one and
one-fourth per cent in order that
towns may have their just proportion
of such property for taxation. The
taxes collected by the state are to
be divided between the state and
towns in the ratio that the amount of
electricity used for railroad purposes
bears to amount used for commerce.

North Adams. Dec. 1S.-The an
nual city election was held yesterday
and DR.. Wallace +. Brown, republi-
can, was elected mayor by a plurality
of 507 in a sharp three-cornored
contest. While DR.. Browns election
had been expected by those familiar
with political conditions in North
Adams. he received a much larger
vote than even his most enthusiastic
supporters expected. His nearest
competitor Representative William
A. OHearn, who received 1913 votes,
made remarkable Roadway during
the closing days of the campaign,
but was unable to overcome the
strong support that had attached it.
self to Dr. Brown since the begin

One of the surprises of the election
was the small vote received by Her

zens' candidate. Mr.. Clark received
but 312 votes, and hardly anyone
expected that he would get less than

for change in local political condi-
tions swept DR.. Brown into office and
in many senses he may be regarded
as reform candidate. This is his
third run for the office, he having
been defeated last year and the year
previous by Mayor Charles l.. Frink.
The democrats, while they failed TO
elect a mayor, succeeded in electlng
three of the seven new councilmen,
the assessor and two school commit
