WASHINGTON. Nov. 7.--At the close

Bryan declared he had no announces
ment to make regarding the Mexican
situation. Other cabinet members also
maintained silence, which is taken to

current, but no confirmation could be
obtained for them At the cabinet
meeting today the prospect Of inter-
ventfon was canvassed from every
angle and the decision reached to pur-
sue the policy of the president con-
sistently without faltering.
Reports that the president had de-
cided the constitutionalists' cause too
weak, sporadic and doubtful to be
given the support Of the United

that the railroad, for which the sur

built for about $7,0O0,000. 1t would
approximately be 27S miles long, and
it would be the means Of bringing to

CITY ATTORNEY ROBERTSON ON

PROPOSED 55C TAX LEVY.
City Attorney David II. Robertson
gave out the following interview late
Tuesday afternoon:
"With reference to the levy Of
taxes by the City Council for the fis-
cal year of 1918. I will say that up
on being advised that the council de-
sired to levy special public sewer
tax of five cents on the one hun
dred dollars valuation, prepared an
ordinance levying such a tax, and al
SO levying ten cents for the establish
ment and mainteance of free public
library and thirty five cents for gem
eral revenue purposes. This makes a
total of fifty cents. AS to any con-
tention that the rate can exceed fif-
ty cents, there is no authority. Sec
tion II, Art. X. OF the Constitution
Of Missouri provides "in cities and
towns having less than ten thousand
and more than one thousand inhabi'
tants said rate shall not exceed fifty
cents on the hundred dollars valua-
tion." In the case of Brooks vs..
Schultz 17S Mo-, 222, It was decid-
ed that the library tax cannot be
levied in addition to a fifty cent levy
AS to the special public sewer tax
