Why should not Philadelphia be the
most beautiful city i'll the United
States as well as the cleanest" 1t has
unrivaled advantages of location. 1t
has one of the finest parks to be found
anywhere. 1t has buildings of historic
interest handsome business blocks
and some Of the best examples Of
domestic architecture. Even it's down
town streets are not wholly bare of
trees. 1t would require no great amount
of individual effort TO follow cleanup

common good, If the city would set a
good example to householders by tax
ing better care of its public squares.
Yards that are now patches of gravel
might be filed with grass and HoWers,
the house fronts might be gay with
window boxes. Thus that sense of
beauty which is so great AN influence
for cleanliness would BECOME potent
force in the life Of the people.

Confidence in Committee.

1t also adopted a resolution express
ing confidence in the personnel of the
committee and the belief that they
will seriously consider in a spirit of
fairness and justice our helpless and
dependent condition. which will thus
insure justice for our people and ad-
vance not only our welfare. but that of
the nation at the National Capital"
William NICK. Clayton paved the way
for exhaustive consideration by the as
sociation of the Districts taxation
needs by introducing a bill for a new
taxation law. This matter will be taken
up at the first fall meeting of the
organization and thoroughly consid-
cred.
Mr.. Clayton said that more money is
expended lin maintaining the tubercu-
losis hospital than keeping up the as
SCISSORS office and that it is as Illogical
to expect the present limited assessing
force to adequately assess property as
it would be to expect single carpenter
to build a hotel like the New Willard.
One change proposed by the Clayton
bill is that the city be divided into as
sessment districts and that only bona
fide residents Of those districts be Sc
lected to establish property ratings in
the respective sections. He also pro-
posed annual instead of triennial as
sessments, elimination of the personal
tax and the establishment of 2 board
of review with personnel separate
from that of the assessment board.
The Clayton suggestions were dis
cussed in a limited debate last night
between the author and Charles {. Lam
caster, with the result that it was de-
cided to give the full membership an
opportunity thoroughly to consider the
subject before taking action.
