Up FRONTAGE
TAX PETITION

In busInessiike shape that might
well be adopted as model by prop
erty owners of other districts is the
petition to the board Of supervisors
for Improvement of Puiwa park and
Laimi roads, Nuuanu valley, under the
frontage tax law. Z
According to their reading of the
law the petitioners define the district
for frontage tax purposes in the
premises, stating that they are own.
ers OF more than 10 per cent of the
area designated by them, Neyerthe-
less the petition is held up by an
opinion Of Deputy City and County
Attorney Weaver, on the ground, II
is stated, that more than .one road or
street cannot be made the subject OF
action under the frontage tax law.
From this opinion two attorneys, ono
OF whom drew the petition, strongly
and firmly disagree. .
What is requested in the petition
is the Improvement of the total length
OF street described, which is 2275 feet,
.'by grading, draining, curling with
cement curb and macadamizing with
asphalt macadam" A detailed esti-
mate made by Jas T. Taylor, C. E.,
one OF the petitioners, places the
cost Of the entire work at $635S, the
various items being set forth IN the
potion. -
A schedule of the proposed assess
ment to cover the cost, giving the
respective frontages, at $140 the front
foot, in results is as follows: Gov
eminent park, ST51.S0; A. Macintosh,
two lots, $5d3.30; Jas T. Taylor, 90
lots and IA feet more, ~.$384S. 02
total: Kaa and others, $210; Water,
house Investment Co., Ltd. $264.SS:
II. Gray, S224.70: A. A. Wilder, 1858.
6S; Harold Giffard. $266.7O: J. F. Nor,
gan Co., Ltd, $35; Lydgate or Gov,
eminent, $16S; total, S635S.0S.
Mr.. Taylor, in discussing the mat
Q ter said he did not see why the sup.
eryisors, If they mean business rela,
tive TO the frontage tax, should dc
lay action one way or another which
would bring the disputed legal point
into the courts for determination. In
his opinion the petition is clear cut
enough to make a good test case on
one phase at least of the question OF
assessment districts under the stat
ute.

Raising a NeD Drop of Pistol
Toters
Toters
Savannah Morning News,


There is law in Georgia making it
a misdemeanor to carry pistol, bur
it isn't enforced, especially in the
rural districts, because of certain con
ditions which lead many men to thinE
they must have a pistol handy at all
times. They do not seem to realize
that the handy pistol is a destroyer
rather than protector OF life. AS
the rural districts become mo-, e thick
ly settled, as roads improve anI
telephone wires become more nume..-
Gus the excuse for carrying a pist !
loses much of it's force. And yet the
practice continues general. Law
hasn't stopped it, hasn't in all Iikeh
hood appreciably checked it 1t is
only through a process of education
through cultivation of pubnc senti
ment, that the bad habit can ~
checked, and in time eliminated.
In the building up of that sentiment
it is important that the little boys be
considered. Young fellows in thei-
first long trousers think it is manly 10
stick pistol in the hip pocket. Boys
much younger than they are usually
content FOR a time with the yo-calle1
toy pistols that are not very different
from the real thing, but discard them
for real pistols as they grow older. 1t
isn't likely that to put an end to the
sale Of the dangerous toy pistols
would put an end to pistol toting, bu:
certainly it would be a factor in bring
ing it about. The boy who totes a toy
pistol grows to be an older boy VIII
totes real pistol, and then man
whose pocket sags under the weight
of a handy weapon every time he
leaves the shelter of his home.
The other day in Thomasville a
number of small boys, some under tea
years Of age, were found in poss as
sion of pistols that were said to be
toys but that were dangerous not only
to anybody in front of them, but also
to the boys in whose hands they we e.
y father of one OF the lads founi
that his sons pocket weapon would
shoot 22-calibre cartridges, and was
likely to be torn to pieces by the
force of the shot with disastrous ef.
feet to the person handling it.
The Thomasyille Times-E Enterprise
IS of the opinion that the sale of such
toys should be prohibited. We
have expressed the same opinion
fCrctof re. Most boys know long be-
fore they are ten years old wher the
weapons can be bought. They ar:
Americus times-recorder., 1914-04-08

made of cheap materials and can be
mad at prices which are within the
reach of the average boys pocke+.
nut their cost is not at all commen-
surate with their power to do damage,
which includes the formation of the
rlstol-toting habit. 1t should be easy
C cntcrce law to prohibit treir sala.
Most fathers object to their boys hat-
ing such dangerous toys. They have
been and no doubt are yet sold in So,
Wi Lab. They are not the ordinary
cap pistols, which. very small
boys play with. They are dangerous,
Ieal weapons, and they should be kept
