Iowa Falls. Aug. 10-The assessment
of the paving in this city 10 giving the
city authorities plenty OF trouble, and
it looks as though the matter would
eventually get into the courts for adj
judication. A change IN the state laws
relative to assessment Of paving seems
to be at the bottom of the trouble. and
it offers a dilemma, either horn of
which means trouble. In assessing the
paving against corner lots. the council
followed the old law on the grounds
that the old statute was in force when
the contract for the paving was let.
Corner lot owners object and want the
assessment distributed over other
property. To this action, the other
property owners naturally object nd
so no matter which way the council
decides, trouble seems imminent. The
1 corner lot owners want to avoid the
heavy payment which the old law lev
led while the inside property owners
do not want to share In the corner lot
assessment and so It may be up to
| the courts to say just what Is just.
equitable and legal in such cases. AS
other cities face similar conditions. the
adjustment Of the matter Is or more
than local interest.

OIL INSPECTORS HIT.
In Danger Of Losing Portion Of Fees OF
500 Per Month.

Des Moines, Aug. 10.-State oil In
spectors are facing u cut In salary by
reason of the change in the system of
inspection which became effective July
/. Reports received by Henry I. Sab
erson. chief clerk to the secretary OF
state, indicate that since the assessing
of fees for testing gasolene has been
discontinued. the inspectors can not
collect enough to pay them 800 salary
a month.
The inspectors whose pay has
dropped below 800 a month have pc
titioned the state executive council to
change the plan of payment of salaries
so that they will receive $1,000 year,
independent of the amount of fees coll
lected.
Under the present law the state Off
Gals do not see any way by which
the inspectors can be given relief. me
law provides that the inspectors shall
have the first $50 they collect In fees
each month and that above $50 they
shall receive one-fourth OF the collec-
tions, but that the maximum salary
shall be 500 a month.
For the last thirty years the collec-
lions on oil inspections have been high
because the state charged for testing
gasolene, when in reality the state has
no way of testing it. The oil COM
panies became weary of paying for
fake inspection and they induced the
state to discontinue the practice on
July /. Now the inspectors can charge
only for testing kerosene.
Under the old system each man col
lected about $1,000 in fees month
so that for thirty years the inspectors
have been drawing the maximum sal
airy. Now. however, the collections
have shrunk to small amounts and in
most cases there is not enough to al
low the inspector the maximum sal
airy In districts where the use of il
Illuminating oil is extensive the inspec-
tors have been able to make fairly
good showing, but in others they have
. failed.
There are fourteen oil inspecting
districts in the state. each in charge
II an inspector.
