Quail From County.
bantam hen mothering n brood OF
nineteen young quail was perhaps the
most unusual exhibit in the poultry
department at the State Fair. The
unique exhibit, which attracted the
attention OF hundreds OF fair visitors,
Is the result of an experiment worked
out by w. Il. Coleman, a young FARM
living near Mannboro, in Amelia
County.
Mr.. Coleman came to Richmond sew
eral months ago and unfolded his
plans for the propagation of game to
NJ d. Hart, president OF the Audubon
Society of Virginia. Mr.. Coleman ex-
planned that he proposed to fit himself
for a position with large propaga-
ton enterprise. and that he desired to
begin actual experiments at home. He
also conferred with D. Fl. Selden, Of
Richmond, who has conducted similar
experiments
So far Mr.. Coleman's experiment has
met with marked success. The socie-
ties for the protection and conserva-
ton of game are said to lndorse such
methods OF propagation as conducted
by the Amelia farmer, provided that
some of the wild fowl that are Matched
out are allowed to escape. In order to
stock surrounding territories
The late DIR. II. l.. Blantoh, Of Cum
berland County, several years ago won
high praise from his successful expert
ment In raising wild turkeys in cap
tivity.
Since coming to Richmond with his
exhibit. MIR. Coleman has been advised
that he will be prosecuted for violation
OF the law In regard to shipping game
out OF the county. Mr.. Hart said last
night that the game protection law
was not designed to cover any such
prosecution. and that officera of the
Audubon Society would join In defense
of Mr.. Coleman IL any such prosecution
Is brought.

CITY is ASSESSED
ON PAVING ERROR
Judge Bell Orders Rebate to
Several Owners of Prop
erty on Ninth Avenue.

II confirming a supplemental as
sessment for the paving of Ninth ave
uue, Twenty-first to Twenty-fftl
streets. in county court today, Judge
B. s. Bell charged $500 of the expense
against the city because of an error
made by the assessing officer. B. F.
SERVER, in giving the entire benefits
CT the switch on the avenue to four
pieces of property fronting the double
tracks. The $500 represents the
amount that should have been appor-
toned among the owners of property
ether than those before whose homes
the switch is laid
The Tri-City Railway company, in
paving improvements, pays for the
work between it's tracks. In as
sessi1g the property on Ninth avenue
the officer in charge decided that the
switch allowance be divided equally
between the owners of the four cor
ner properties at Twenty-third street.
That this had been done was not DIS
covered by other property holders I'M
til supplemental assessment had
been ordered, this having become nee
essary, it was explained, because the
contractors found they were unable to
complete the improvement within the
estimate.
In passing on the protest Judge
Bell ruled that legally he could not
reopen the first assessment after it
had been confirmed, and as this had
already been done, property holders
had their recourse in the city council
The council, after hearing. ordered
City Attorney Witter to adjust the
error made by the assessing officer.
Mr.. Witter, in county court today
told the judge that he was powerless
to carry out the instructions of the
council, whereupon Judge Bell, accept
ing the order of the council as war
rant for such action, inasmuch as it
had been acknowledged an injustice
had been done the protesting property
holders, entered the order referred to
on his own initiative.
DO understand that the CITY must
pay this $500 back to the property
owners" inquired the city attorney
An officer of the city has made a
mistake that is admitted by your coun-
Gil" replied Judge Bell. The origi-
nal assessment has been confirmed.
and therefore cannot be disturbed.
But before the supplemental assess
ment is confirmed these people can be
protected. Accordingly l shall enter
an order that the amount of $500 be
deducted from property of the protest
ants on the supplemental assessment,
each sharing according to frontage
feet"
