LITTLE BUT ROUTINE
WORK At MEETING
OF CITY FATHERS
JUDGE ERWIN REPORTED THAT
TAX COLLECTIONS HAD BEEN
VERY GOOD.
$4,000 TO SINKING FUND
Impossible to Build New Bridge on
East Hill This Year to Replace the
Old Cedar One-Street Fair Bill
Passed Third Reading.

Nothing but routine work was TAX
en- up Friday night at the regular
monthly meeting of the board of may
or and aldermen of the city.
Conner Akin, of the street commit
tee, reported that he had made an
estimate upon the cost of new
bridge to replace the old cedar one
on the east side of town. AS his fig
ures were $2,1O5, the board thought
that it would be impossible to do
anything toward building new
bridge this year. However, Mayor
Dedman and the street committee are
to report at the next meeting what
steps can be taken to repair it.
An agreement between the city and
the property owners on North High
street with regard to building a new
pavement was ratified.
Judge Erwin reported that the col
lection of city taxes had been very
satisfactory and that they were far
in excess of what they had been in
past years. He asked that there
should be shown on the minutes that
$134.S5 of work had been done for
the schools Of the city. He also re-
quested that the board should pass
$4,000 from the city taxes to the cred
it of the sinking fund. 1t was so Or
dered. In the course Of his remarks
about the collection of taxes, he stat
ed that neary all discrepancies and
arguments in regard to them by in
dividual tax payers had been settled,
and that he thought that the rest of
them could be adjusted.
The ordinance providing for $500
license fee for all street fairs which
come to the city was passed on third
reading and became law.
The request of Mr.. Derryberry for
sidewalk on South High street was
referred to the street committee.
! All bills and salaries, properly o.
k.'ed, were allowed.

average lawmaker jumps to the con-
clusion that the one thing needed to
improve conditions Is new legislation
To find defects does not call for great
ability: any one can pick flaws. But
a constructive program to overcome
defects calls for degree OF ability
that does not appear In much OF our
modern legislation. Senator Elthu
Root. in addressing the American Bar
association, declared that the people
were right in their contention that
there were too many laws. In the five
years from 1909 to 1913 congress and
the state legislatures enacted more
than $4,000 statutes, and in the same
period there were over $4,000 decisions
Of federal and state courts of last re-
sort, reported in $50 volumes.
A most intimate connection exists
between the number of cases and the
number of poorly drawn laws. Every
useless word, every loose construc-
ton, every ambiguous phrase is apt to
cost a lawsuit. MANY of these stat
utes.'' says Senator Root. ''are drawn
artificially, cacelessly. ignorantly.
Their terms are so vague, uncertain,
doubtful, that they breed litigation in
evitably. They are thrust into. the
body of existing laws without anybody
taking the pains to ascertain what the
existing laws are, what decisions the
courts have made in applying and in
terpreting them, or what the resultant
Of forces will be when the old laws
and the new are brought together.
Such q mass of uncalled for and sloppy
legislation weakens the respect for all
law, and throws a burden on the courts
that does not properly belong to them,
giving rise to the expression "legisla-
ton by the COURTS
