CFIILDREN'S COSTUME PARTIES

Can't you remember when it was
your greatest joy as n little girl to be
allowed to rummagc iii the trunks in
the attic and dress up in frocks grand
mother used to wear? OF course you
do, and probably think with a sigh of
the joy your own Riddles are deprived
of, for there are no attics in the mod
ern apartment house. and grandmoth-
er's finery was long since crowded into
oblivion by the cXigencics of space.
The lets play dress up instinct,
however, has not vanished with chang
ing conditions, and the gayest and
happiest childrens parties are the ones
where the small guests come in cos
tune. With no ancestral chests to
draw upon for supplies, the costumes
will usually have to be improvised at
home. But neither expense nor lack
of ideas ought to worry the mother,
because many OF the most effective
costumes may be made OF paper, mus
lin or calico and ideas for characters
bounce out from the many wonder
fully illustrated child classics of the
day.

Carter petitioned for rehearlnE on
the grounds that the trivial error de-
.ceived no one and was inconsequen-
tial inasmuch as plat on file show
ed exactly the boundaries OF the dis
trict. The petition was denied.
A year ago the citizens OF Pendie-
ton by large majority adopted an
amendment to the charter permitting
the council to order reassessment
in any Improvement district where
the first assessment was invalIdated
by reason OF errors in proceedings. II
was an amendment growing out OF
the jackson street suit Since the
passage OF the amendment. the city
attorney and other leading attorneys
have held that the amendment Il re-
troactive. Accordingly the city coun-
Gil ordered reassessment In the
jackson street district and liens were
again docketed against those property
owners who refused payment before.

clared that there must be some way
in which lien could be placed

JACKSON STREET RESIDENTS WHO
ESCAPED ASSESSMENT FACE SUIT

Suit will be started at once by the
city to foreclose the street improve
ment liens against those Jackson
street property owners who escaped
payment of the original assessments
by a supreme court decision but who
are now held liable under a reassess-
ment.
Last evening City Attorney Carter
requested authority from the council
to proceed with legal measures and
the authority was promptly given
him by a resolution. The city attor-
ney stated that the property holders
involved have ignored all of his COM
munications and that he understands
the matter will be fought out in the
courts.
The filing of the foreclosure suits
will undoubtedly again open a bitter
legal fight such as was fought nearly
two years ago in the circuit and su-
preme courts. 1t is probable that the
supreme court will again be the final
judge.
Having opposed the Improvement of
jackson street, James Johns. WIN

A. Zeuske Dave Gordon and others
objected to the paying of the assess
ments levied against their property
when the Improvement was complet-
ed two years ago last fall James
Johns, acting for himself and the
others, opposed the attempt to fore
close the lien, losing out in the cir
cult court but winning in the su-
preme court. The fight was made
chiefly upon the grounds that the
Warren Construction Co enjoyed n
monopoly under the procedure OF the
city council Judge Phelps upheld
the city and Mr.. Johns appealed
Though the supreme court upheld all
OF the material contentious OF the
city. II reversed the decision OF Judge
Phelps upon the grounds that there
was an error in the description OF the
assessment district, Block c having
been called Block 6. City Attorney
