death must be imposed.
Anselrno showed little emotion when

and many OF those who had followed

The crime for which the young Italian

cells weighing as much as fifty
pounds to be sent in tho mail in the
first and second zones, which comprise
a circle around Salt Lake 100 miles IN
radius, III. l.. Thomas, general manager
of the Utah-Nevada Telephone com.
pany, yesterday mailed to Winnemucca,
Ney, heavy package of telephone
equipment. The package weighed about
forty eight pounds, or within two
pounds of the limit.
Mr.. Thomas's parcel was the first
heavy one sent through tho local office
and the only one yesterday, according
to Postmaster Arthur l., Thomas.
The new regulations increase the
weight of parcels from maximum of
twenty to fifty pounds within the first
two zones and from eleven to twenty
pounds in any part of the United States
outside of the 150-mile radius Post
master Thomas is Of the opinion that
this will materially increase the bust
ness, especially for parcels sent by To-
cal mercantile firms to customers in
this territory.
About the only things barred are
packages containing intoxicating liquor.
under the new regulations almost any
thing may be sent by parcel post. The
postmaster says that the report that a
live pig was sent by mail several days
ago may have been true, for only Tues
day the local office handled live ter
rapin. Sacks of flour will probably be
common, and even pet cat or dog may
be sent short distance by parcel post.
During the year Just closed the local
office has insured approximately 3s,761
parcel post packages, while 1884 in.
sured packages from other offices have
been delivered. In the year 1913, 5s4
c. o, D, parcel post packages were
mailed from the local office and 1858
delivered. Although these figures are
considered an indication of the success
Of the parcel post, they represent only
small percentage Of the total volume
of parcel post business, inasmuch as the
greater amount of packages have been
sent prepaid and without parcel post
insurance. Since the abandonment Of
the special parcel post stamp last July,
there has been no means Of checking
the regular parcel post business Of the
local office. However, employees Of the
local office who have been in constant
contact with the parcel post business
estimate that insured packages repre-
sent only about 20 per cent Of the num-
Der Of packages handled. This would
give the local office a record of more
than 100000 outgoing parcel post pack
ages during the year.

STATE INSURANCE
FEES INCREASING

Fees of the state insurance department
have increased from $4,000 TO $4,000 an
nually for four or five years, according
to Willard Done, state insurance COM
missioner. This is because of the in
creased business which has been done
by the department, according to the COM
missioner,
The total amount of fees received in
the office during 1918 Is 500, ,201 SO. That
includes all fees and taxes that came into
the office during the past twelve months.
Compari ring 1913 with the three years
previous the amount OF business has in
creased steadily, judging from the total
amount of fees annually. The total for
1912 was S64.6SS.35. For 1911 the total
was $50. .222.83. and for 1910 the total was

Plan of New Auditor.

In addition to the tax levy the city
has a revenue from the license taxes,
water rates, etc,
Under the plan proposed by Mr..
Green the total city revenue would be
divided directly into funds such as are
necessitated by the commission form of
government. BY keeping an account OF
various appropriations the auditors
would constantly be able to ascertain
the status of the money provided by
law for contingent expenses, sewers and
drains, streets and sidewalks, etc.
In replying to the city attorneys let
ter the commissioner Of finance says:
1.-THE new system contemplatcs no
violation Of law in any degree, but on
the contrary will literally fulfill the
intent and purpose Of the statute with
reference, to the levy and expenditure
OF taxes for purposes specified, and will
record the receipts from different
sources and expenditures by depart

Contest Precipitated.

Then it was that the fight against the
new accounting system was taken up.
The contention of the city attorney is
based on a section of the state law
which outlines the powers Of the city
commission in making the tax levy.
This section says levy can be made
or the real and personal property in
the city Of FIVE mills to defer contin-
gent expense; ten mills for the pur-
chase of water courses, streams and to
construct waterworks and supply water
for irrigation and other purposes; FIVE
mills to open, improve and repair
streets and sidewalks; five mills to con-
struct sewers and drains; ten mills to
construct gas works, electric light
works, telephone lines, street railways
or bath houses
The contention of Mr.. Sherman is
that inasmuch as the law specifies the
method Of collecting the taxes, mention
ing the funds, that warrants can only
be drawn for expenditures when each
warrant is stamped with the fund name.
Under that method which has been used
by Mr.. Shearman while auditor, there is
a great deal of duplicate work to again
segregate the accounts in the depart
ments Of public safety, finance, parks,
