BY The United Press.
PARIS, July 20.-Six French aero
planes today showered bombs on the
railway station at the German forti-
fed city of Colmar, IN Alsace. The war
office, in announcing the raid this af-
ternoon, reported that four French
birdmen bomharded the railway juno
tion at Challerange yesterday.
Challerange lies at the junction Of

was to wreck the junction through
which a large part Of the supplies to
the Crown Princes army around Yer
dun are carried.
Eight shells, carrying $50 pounds
of high explosives, we're dropped on
the railway buildings at Colmar.
Three bombs of 80 pounds each were
sent crashing through the roof Of the

of German supplies are known TO
have been stored and the war office
is confident that much damage was
done.

SLEERl1 FOR

NOT A JOB FOR

Mayor James F Price this after
noon signed the ordinance passed by
Council last Thursday night fixing
the salaries of the Board Of Assessors
et $4,000 year, except in the case of
he building inspector, an ex-ofilcio
member, who receives $3.50 a year.
Former Mayor Harrison w. Howell
vetoed a similar ordinance which had
been passed by the old City Council,
because he considered the salaries ex-
cessive for the frst year
In signing the ordinance today,
Mayor Price said. "ln doing this ! feel
that I am acting for the best inter-
ests of the city. Since the matter has
been pending ] have conferred with
leading business men Of the city. both
professional and otherwise. and a
largo percentage Of them urged that
the ordinance be signed II was the
concensus of all that in the selection
of Colonel Weller d. Stover and ].
Bail Peirce as the two assessors, the
city had obtained the services OF com
petent men.
"These two officials have showed
that they are working for the city's in
terest and they have given up their
own interests and are working not
part time but all their time for the
city. II is my opinion that the work
is not for cheap man"
AS the ordinance was passed by City
Council last Thursday night by a
strict party vote of five negatives and
three nays. with one absentee, Council
man Kane, it is not thought that any
further steps Will be taken by the
Democrats 70 prevent the assessors
from receiving $4,000 a year
Colonel Stover and Mr.. Peirce have
been at work on the assessment
books for the past two weeks and they
are perfecting the present system
When this is done IL is understood

by Mrs. Williams, concerning her sub

Not all OF the work oC illumination
was done by the monlks. but some by
wandering artists, of much the same
typo as The truubadour or knight of

these men of long ago. which were very
revealing in connection with the work
they portrayed Their skill dcfcs
modern artists to equal them, and some
OF the books were tho untiring labor OF
