Senate Repeats Hillery Act.
The most important happening in
the Senate was the repeal of the Hill
lery maximum tax rate act. The re-
pealer was Senator Rathburn's bill.
and the vote on it was II to 0.
There was some objection to the
bill, but Mr. Rathbun in explaining
1t, and Senator Hennessey said the
measure did not serve its avowed
purpose to keep down the tax rate,
except in some instances, where ii
was conceded that a higher rate was
necessary than the one authorized by
the Hillery law. Mr. Hennessey said
one of the purposes of the law at the
time it was introduced was to compel
the assessment of all property at its
true value, but that this was not ac-
complished in many instances. In
equality of assessments, he said, was
particularly the fact in his own coun-
ty of Bergen.
Another bill passed by the Senate
yesterday was Mr.. Whites meas
ure~ fixing the standard measure for
cranberry barrels, and still another
was Senator Edges measure which
allows Supreme Court justices and
Common Pleas judges to sit at points
in counties other than county seats
for the purpose of granting election
transfers. This bill is particularly
desired by Atlantic County, SO that
residents of Atlantic 9th may not be
compelled to go to Mays Landing
the county seat of Atlantic County
to get election transfers.

American swimmers took great
step forward during the indoor season
Of l913-l4. A regular slaughter Of rec
ords was witnessed at the important
meets. and all hands joined in the
iconoclastic work. from the elemen-
tary school lads to the national cham
piOns.
So many events of the moment fea-
turcd the years. competition that it is
hard to pick those most worthy Of
note. Doubtless the smashing Of ma.
tional and worlds standards was most
gratifying. yet the widespread and SEN
sationaI development Of the younger
element. the general improvement Of
methods and the increased facilities
throughout the country in the way of
new pools mean far more to the future
of water sports than brilliant individ-
ual performances.
The remarkable progress shown in
the middle distances. however, cannot
but cause deep satisfaction. for this
was in the past the branch of nata ton
in which Americans lacked ability, and
the weakness proved costly at every
Olympic meet. We can hardly claim
to have gained supremacy even now,

Thirteenth Century Fire Prevention.

Thirteenth Century Fire Prevention.
One wonders what fate would have
overtaken the captured starter Of fires
in thirteenth century London. for
after the blaze Of 1912. which lasted
ten days, swallowed up part OF Lon
don bridge and was the cause Of over
1000 deaths. every precaution was
taken against fires. For instance. all
builders of houses were ordered to
roof them with tiles. single boards or
lead, and to stop an outbreak any
house could be pulled down. Thus. MIR.

houses each ward was to provide
