Shrinkage in property valuations
in the district SO great that the tax
returns were not sufficient to meet
expenses and the consequent increase
in debt to point higher than per-
mitted by law, has resulted in the

trict No. SIS, between Gate and Oak
vile, lying partly in Thurston and
partly in Gray's Harbor counties, and
the transfer Of the pupils to the Gate
and Oakville schools respectively.
Announcement OF the change was
made by County Superintendent L. A
kibbe this week. 1t had been pend
ing for some months. The school
site has been sold and the farmers of
the neighborhood are now soliciting
money to buy the building and con-
vert it into community hall.

forecasted a month In advance but re-

the forecasting OF the earth's general

every such statement is untrue.

Incorporation Counsel Protests
Against Increase.

William b. Ellison. former Corpora

against the proposed new taxes to meet

gssted that thare were other ways
to increase revenue. He pointed out
that the city's population had increa sod

the budget had increased ITO per cent
ut Is apparent" he said. that no
further increase in the taxable values
OF our real estate Ia possible AT present
Indeed In the districts made up OF
small homes such as large portions OF
Kings. Queens and The Bronx, property
is already assessed at prices far In tx

conditions also may be found In many
OF tho business districts OF Manhattan
This Is an alarming situation and must
be remedied We have already passed

Mr.. Ellison said that the methods OF
ordinary business could be used to re-
duce expenditures, and that. although
there were needs for schoolhouses
docks and municipal buildings, the
question should be asked Can we AZ

A Call for support for the Pending
Ryan Dunnigan BIn.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: In
tho Assembly and in the Senate at AL
bany is now pending measure known
as the Ryan-Dunnigan bill, the object
of which is to substitute life imprison-
ment for death as the penalty to be in
nicted upon those convicted of murder
In this State, | call upon all who are
opposed to capital punishment to give to
this measure their best support.
1t has been the intention of the Anti
Capital Punishment Society to present
bill to the Legislature, hoping for
favorable action. When Assemblyman
Ryan introduced his measure IL was
submitted to counsel for our society,
Messrs. Olcott, Schwarzschild & Bishop
who pronounced 1t faulty In some re-
spects. Since then Mr.. Ryan has amended
his bin so that It meets the approval OF
our counsel.
There Is no reason for a multiplicity
OF bills all covering the same subject.
A division of forces means a weakening
OF influence II the Ryan Dunnigan
measure can he sent TO Governor Whit
man for his signature, by all means let
us have II done.
