We are unable to let this opportu-
nifty pass without again mentioning
the neglect of our city fathers in fail
ing to properly mark the streets of
Alexandria. There is no public i'm
provemet,t that is so greatly needed,
ana the cost would amount to only a
few hundred dollars. Yet council ap-
propaates money for this purpose and
that without caring to take action on
the most important matter.

NO TRACE OF AVIATOR.
Aviators Fly Over Swamps in Hope
of Finding Jewell.

New York, Oct. l5.-lt appeared
carly today that Albert J. Jewell
might be the first aviator simply 10
have vanished in the clouds, with
all trace of him entirely lost. The
young flyer, who was to have start
ed in the race around Manhattan, has
been missing for two Gays. A report
that a wrecked acroplane hal been
seen in the Hackcnsack river near
Hobokcn yesterday proved to be I'M
true.
Every effort will be made today
to pick up some trace of Jewell.
Tony Janus and c. Murvin Wood
were scheduled to fly over the
swampsa of Long Island in their aero
planes in search of Jewell. 1t was
realized that ii Jewell fell and was
injured he now would be near death
from exposure and hunger. even
though he suffered from nothing
worse than Il broken leg.
The fear that Jewell was blown
out to sea is increasing. His wife
is on the verge of. complete collapse
The theory that he might have fal'
len into a bog and died of exhaus
ton while trying to get out has beer
advanced, but many belieTe that II
he had fallen anywhere along the
coast he would certainly have beer
seen.

THE ROLLING
STOCK FIGHT.

! The Gazette has several Tines call
ed attention to the fight soon to be-
made by some of the cities OF the
state to test the constitutionality OF
the act of the last legislature appor-
tiomng the taxes on the rolling stock
of railways among the counties OF
the state travelled by the railways, al
lowing the cities, where the main OF
fees of the roads are located 20 per
cent of the taxes and the counties the
balance. As has been stated AleXan-
dria will lose about $4,000 per annum
by the change in the method of tax
alton.
The Richmond Ncws-Leader opposes
the testing of the matter in the courts,
although Richmond will be big loser
by the change. The News-Leader
says:
eve might as we'll face the facts
and make the best Of them. The
counties are determined to get d part
of the revenue frotnI rolling stock
which is now assessed at the head
quarters of the railroad companies.
They feel that they are entitled to
share in the taxes from this source
and they contendl that the cites have
no lust claim for the taxation OF box
cars which may be scattered through
out dozen counties.
"There may be two opinions on this
subject but there can be only one
opinion regarding the ability OF the
counties to do what they please. Ihey
have the votes, a vast majority 9
both houses, and if they choose to
take this revenue from the cities, they
can do So ~
"At the last session of Assembly, 1t
will be recalled, a compromise was Ell
'iccted whereby the cities heretofore
receiving the tax on the rolling stock
were to receive 25N. while the coun-
lies were to get the remaining 1911.
This was "a hard bargain, but it was
the best that could be driven. Even
this met with opposition from certain
nuarters and was at one time endang-
cred
"Now. unless we very much mis-
take human nature, the m2n who
made that colrpromise on behalf OF
the COUNTIES will be in different frame
of mind if they come back next jan
uary am, find what they did has been
,,nset at the instance of the other par
ty to the agreement. They will be
more than apt to argue that If the
cities were not satisfied with the ar
ranrcment made in 1912, they need
not expect any compromise. The re-
suit will probably be the passage OF
a rolling stock law which will be con-
stitutional and which will deprive the
cities of the IS per cent they are to
receive under the present act.
ave hate to see Richmond lose this
revenue; VIC hate to sec Roanoke sui
fer as heavily as it will; we couH !
wish that Petersburg and all The other
cities did not have this source OF IN !
come taken from them. But We arc
fr1ly of opinion that quarter-Ioaf
IS better than no bread.
"Lct the bargain stand. 1t is poor !

hope to make

change had receipted for part pay

in part:
1T would seem, therefore, that the
board of supervisors, being the direct
representatives of the people In q
legislative capacity, with very broad
powers In regard to passing laws, reg
ulations and ordinances relating to
the county's business, would be the
body which should take the juris-
diction of matters such as regulating
the compensation of county employees
where there Is no direct constitution
al provision covering the same"
The men affected by the law are As
sistant Prosecutors Jasnowski, Kill
patrick, VOORHEES, and Heston, Coun-
ty Detective l. ]. Coffin, Chief Clerk
Harold Groat, and two stenographers.
They expect to take the matter be-

constitutionality of the law, the In.
creases In salary are not effective
