No More Splitting on Sidewalks.
In a meeting of the town board
a new water ordinance has been
passed to the effect that meters
will be installed in every place
using town water. This is the
only just way of disposing of the
matter. An ordinance prohibiting
splitting, or more politely speak
ing, expectorating on the side
walks and walls of buildings was
also passed. This is very timely
as it is a public scandal to see the
walks on main street. People
should take more pride in the
town and themselves and cut il
out. ...

The Tax Commission bill, which
more than any other measure has re-
,arded the work OF the present legis-
lature and has been the means OF
forming number OF combinations
through which many bills, meritor-
ious and unmeritorious, have got by,
passed the assembly by safe major
ity, but not until its opponents had
exhausted their every resource. The
oill is the one submitted by the ad-
ministration and known as the COM
promise measure, and but for a
couple of changes, which are believed
to be insignificant and prolong the
life OF the commission till March,
1917, it is the same as was printed IN
readers will remmeber. The weakest
feature OF the bill undoubtedly is the
small amount of money which the
commission is allowed to continue
the good work it has already inaug-
rrated.
In the discussion yesterday which
followed the taking of the bill from
the file and putting it up for final
passage, Assemblyman Pitt of Hum
boldt took the lead for the opposi-
tion and he fought the measure a.
every turn, but with all his ingenuity
and resource he failed to turn the
tide that had set in in it's favor. AS
supporters of the bill Assemblymen
Schmidt and Fitzgerald of Nye and
Asscmblyman Babcock Of Clark coun-
ty made a valiant fight and had much
to do with the successful result.
The discussion and augmentation
took up over two hours time and
