This legislation should have been

Two reasons contributed to the de-

reason the bill was defeated was that

FROM THE PEOPLE
CARTER REPLIES.
March 9,1913.


To the Editor:-My attention Is
called to a letter Of Mr.. S. P. Hutchin-
son published in your paper of the
1st inst. / had seen the letter but
did not read it until today; / do not
think Mr.. Hutchinson fully under
stands the legal procedure and action
which the city authorities have to
take in the matter of pavement.
In the first place, all liens on prop
erty assessed for street improvements
are held by. and in the name OF The
City Of Penileton, and not by the con-
tractor who does the work: when the
work Is done and accepted and thirty
days thereafter have elapsed. and the
contractor tells the city authorities
that he wants his money. the council
has no alternative but must direct
the city attorney to proceed to coll
lect. and by suit to foreclose. the
liens-and the attorney must obey or
ders; otherwise. the city may become
legally liable to the contractor anj
could be sued; the contracts and or
dinances for improvements give as
surances to the contractor that the
city will use due diligence to get his
money out OF the assessments as
speedily as practicable; If the city
could rest supine3and not be required
TO exert its best Efforts to collect these
liens. there would probably be no
contractor rash enough to take a Job
Of paving, because, under the char
ter, the collection can only be en-
forced by the city itself, AMI not by
anyone else; now, in this instance, the
contractor has more than once told
the authorities that 1t wants Its money.
and they are only doing as they are
legally and in good faith bound to do
in trying to get 1t by the only method
the law prescribes; the city must do
this to protect itself IL for no other
reason, and Mr.. Hutchinson is mis-
taken in saying that It does not have
to bring suit to protect itself.
Certainly no more solicitation is
shown for the interests Of the Warren
Construction company than would be
shown for any other contractor or per-

placing one of Bakst's figures for the
"Pisanelle" side by side with a draw
ing by Pisanello of one of the courtly
exquisites of his time. The effect is
crushing. Pisanello, caring for cos
tune, nevertheless gives you character
where Bakst gives you only the cos
tune. 1t might be said that this com
parison is unfair, that any modern
might crumple up beside Pisanello, but
the truth is that we use the test for the
special purpose Of showing how con-
trast with great artist exposes
Bakst's real secret, and that is his ALI
ance with the fashion plate in its leas,
inspired aspect. The point would be
secuted by his thick and thin admirers.
In the preface to the present catalogue
he is accepted as "a great virtuoso,
and il is said Of his designs that they
are not mere fashion plates or ordinary
costume drawings" The implication.
is that there is something
which makes a mere fashion plate
negligible, placing 1t outside the sphere
of serious art. 1t all depends. a true
artist can transmogrify the fashion
plate. Witness those which Gavarni
was making i'm Paris in the 3os. To
study them is. incidentally, TO perceive
what it is that is decisive in this ques-
ton of the Russian craftsman's rank.

ness. More than a thousand pictures
were sent in, but OF these only 325
were accepted, and as the hanging

possible judgment the two galleries

happens, in the pure water color OF
current convention. They are the large
landscapes by Mr.. w. c. Emerson. who
has been experimenting with tempera
and gives his surfaces a rather odd eff
feet, suggestive Of oils or Of very solid
pastel instead Of water color. This
hardly matters. The main point is
that Mr.. Emerson puts something Of
the spirit Of Corot into his pictures and
handles his soft tones OF green and
gray not only with technical skill but
with a genuine feeling fo- beauty. He
is perhaps the ono specifically poetic
landscape painter in the show, but
there are others who. through sim
pier natu-alism. heightened by an emo

us what he gives us, very refined,
thoughtful pleasure. Mr.. John c. HUFF
fington is one Of these engaging paint
ers. His winter scene (No. 1861 Is a
charming thing. full OF delicate tone
and pervaded by a tender spirit. With
this should be placed another winter
scene (NO. 234). painted by Mr.. John

clearer note. but its dainty whites and
blues, like. the grays in Mr.. Huffiug-
tons PAINTING. are the tones of reverie
