His wife says he began to droor

Several nights she followed him and
discovered that he left the subway

All citizens WHO have the welfare
of the city at heart and who fully
realize that the prohibition law has
been the cause Of a reduction in city
revenues readily concede the fact
that a way must. be provided to meet
the new situation. There !. IS
pnly one way left. now that
M possible retrenchment has
been made, and that is to
increase direct taxation. The bill In
troditced in the legislature provides
Tor maximum increase of only ten
pcnts on the hundred dollars. and II
4 that much is not needed, the full
levy does not have to be laid.

In fact, q suit for $4,000 has al

John denies this and declares that

that he Is an alumnus Of the Moler

additions to the road law were made
by the session Of 1918 and the pnb-

code Of 1913. not only included the
laws ~ revised by this commission
and the amendments OF 1911 and 1913,
but the alternate road laws OF 1872,
1881 and 1891 also. and tho

The legislature has not done any
thing to remedy this condition, otil-
er than that as to House bill Nq. Ala,
which provides for amending these
laws; but this bill has been SO amends
ed as TO destroy its usefulness. Dell
egate Parsons, Of Mason, secured sew
eral amendments to tho bill which
tend to poorer construction Of bridges,
than that under the present law. Ono
81 his amendments struck out the re-
quirements for the court to advertise

tho court should require COMPETENT
advice In connection with bridge con-
strpction. He also secured an amend

sible for the county courts, without
restrictions, TO lay q special bridge
levy OF forty cents on each 800.
