DICKSON IS ASKING
WRIT OF CERTIORAI
Suit is Brought Against Mayor Elder
and Present Council
men.

DR.. ]. P. Dickson filed suit with
the clerk Of the district court today,
asking for writ Of certiorai against
j. F. Elder, T. P. Gray and T. j.
Hickey as board OF review for the
city of Keokuk. The petition alleges
that the board Of review acted with
out an assessment roll, and that
they refused to hear or make record
of the complaint of the plaintiff on
the assessment of his property.
Dickson alleges that the board OF
review knowingly exceeded its juris-
diction in April and May in 1913, in
that it knowingly acted without an
assessment roll and gave no notices
as required by law. Dickson states in
the petition that he is the owner of
lot Z in block %, Reds addition.
and that the assessment was not en-
tered on the assessment role.
He claims the board acted Illegally
in not having an assessment roll for
the year, and also that the board sub
mitted vague pretended notices in the
newspapers instead of the individual
notices as required by law.
He further alleges that the board
Of review has failed to hear his COM
plants or make record OF them.
l.. E. Williams is the attorney bring
ing the suit for Dickson.

control which enables me to keep

There is no doubt in my mind that
the great mortality among senator's
is due to the way we live in Washing
ton. The life here is indeed an ardu-
Gus one; the mental strain is immense.
There is continuous succession Of
banquets, dinners and receptions. Au-
tomobiles and street cars are used by
senators instead of walking, and pure
we get too little. There is no surer
way to undermine the health than eat
ing too much or eating irregularly.
There is nothing more deadly than
to breathe air that has already been
breathed by others and thus robbed
of it's oxygen besides being poisoned
in other ways. The ventilation of this
chamber is poor and when we increase
it's impurities by tobacco smoke, as is
being done all the while, the air is
very unwholesome and unhealthy"
