mittees of the American Bar Association.
For Efficient Road Legislation.
1t is expected that this session will re-
suit in a comprehensive plan of simpli-
fed and efficient road legislation. which
may be presented through the governors
of the states to each state legislature at
it's next session.
At the third American Road Congress,
held last year in Detroit, one Of the most
interesting sessions was that relating to
finance, which was held under the aus
pices of committee from the American
Bankers Association. A large portion OF
the 1900 delegates present at the De-
troit meeting attended the finance ses-
sion and paid close attention to the pro-
ceedings.
This years congress will devote partic-
ular attention to the financing of road i'm
provement in view of the fact that up
ward of half billion dollars of road
bonds are now outstanding. and questions
relating to issuance of new bonds and
methods of retirement are assuming IN
creasing importance.

A most important decision was rem

week, which will clear up lot of argu-
ment and question. 1t is, that lands on

for which no patent has been issued by
the government, ars taxable the same

and has primarily to do with the recla-
nation lands, on which the water pay
ments have been extended for a number
of years. The case does not specifically
take up Carey Act lands on which proof
has been made but the patent has not
yet been issued to the state for the
lands. However, the argument is so
nearly alike, that it may be assumed it
will settle the question of taxing Carey
Act land as well.

The German aviator was one of the

France from the north. When he flew
over the city of Liege, where battle
was being fought, the Belgian airman
mounted in his aeroplane and flew to
meet him.
At first the aviators circled about
like falcons, but kept at a distance
and fought rifle duel, each trying
to kill his opponent or strike some
vulnerable part of his engine or pro-
peller.
Finally the Belgian, evidently fear
ing that his opponent might escape
him and carry back to the invading
army valuable information Of the
country, decided to sacrifice himself
to make sure Of his enemy.
Abandoning his circular course, the
Belgian darted straight at his adver-

he realized what the Belgian was
about, dived toward the earth, but he
was too late. At terrific speed the
Belgian dived after him and struck
him fairly amidships. butting his plane

to have the work done in this man.
ner rather than having the oiling done
under private contracts by property
owners
A question was up for discussion
again today at the board meeting and
the discussion, was continued this aft
ernoon with representatives of the
Commercial club.
Mayor Robbins, Clerk Bescher, Con-
troller McMahan and John McMinn all
pointed cut that If the city assumes
charge of this work it would be neces-
sary to proceed along the same lines
as the law provides for other street
improvements, for the board to pass
resolutions for street oiling, such
resolutions to be advertised and re-
monstrances heard. Also the city
would have to pay the contractors for
the work and then assess the property
owners. In the event collections
could not be made suits to forclose
liens against property would have to
be instituted and the legal department
probably would have it's hands full Sc

ranging from 75 cents to four and five

Reduction in Water Rates From
rs to IS Cents Requested by City
In Argument Before State Board

INDIANAPOLIS, March 12.-It is
up to the public service commission
to say what rates for water shall be
paid by Richmond people, Argu-
ments of attorneys were completed
this afternoon and the commission
now begins work on the mass of ev-
idence submitted in reaching a decis-
ion. City Attorney Bond spoke for
the city this morning and Attorney
Robbins for the company this after
noon. Engineer Watts, employed by
the city, today submitted tentative
classification of rates upon which he
says the company may receive suffi-
cient revenue, based upon fair ply
sical valuation on its property. Watts
figures were submitted by Attorney
Bond in presenting his argument.
Watts schedule of rates would give
consumers on flat rates a decrease of
approximately twenty per cent and
those using meters, who represent
more than three-fifths of the total
number of consumers, a decrease of
ten to fifteen per cent, while consum-
ers according to Watts schedule
would pay less.
The city would pay an increased
sum for water.
The city now receives about one
hundred million gallons of free wat
er used in school buildings, parks,
fountains, etc, and in making his cal
culations Watts assumes that the
commission will request the city to
pay for this water, because the util-
ity law does not permit discrimina-
ton. At a six cent meter rate this
would make an annual charge against
the city of $4,000 In addition to that
paid for fire protection.
Under the Watts schedule the COM
pany's gross revenue per annum
