MAY CALL BOND
ELECTION IN
NOVEMBER
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DIS
cUsSING FEASIBILITY OF SUCH
MOVE BEFORE THEY ADJOURN
ED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

The board of county commissioners
were discussing the feasibility OF cal
ling a bond election for good roads
purposes at the time OF the general
election yesterday and they may de-
eide to do so thereby eliminating the
expense of a separate election later.
The chamber of commerce and the
business mems association who pre-
sented a resolution Wednesday to the
commissioners asking that the elec-
tion be not called at this time are
OF the opinion that there would be
some difficulty in getting the required
number of votes to win. while on the
other hand many aIe Of the opinion
that the bond election would carry
easily over all opposition. The argu-
ment advanced against voting bonds
that is most heard on the streets Is
that the gross production tax on oil
should be sufficient to go a long way
toward building and maintaining a
system OF good roads in this county
and the chamber of commerce and
business men in their resolution We'd
nesday cited this fact This is about
the way the present conditions rest
relative to read work. what will be
done will probably DC decided at the
next meeting of the board Of county
commissioners in October.

RECORD DeREAklNG SESSION OF
CONGRESS ADJOURNED AT NINE
O'CLOCK THIS MORNING.
TWOBILL|ON DOLLARS
Appropriations of sixty-Fourth Con-
qress at First Session Reached a
Total of Nearly TWO Billion Dollars
- Many Treaties Ratified.

Washington, Sept. S.-The first ses-
sion of the sixty-fourth congress ad1
iourned sine die at 10 o'clock today
concluding a record d-breaking sessiot,
which appropriated nearly two billibn
dollars. and the chief concern OF lhe
session was national defense.
When the gavel fell congress had
directed reorganization and re-eouip-
ment of the army and navy for de-
tense of the country at the unprece-
dented cost of $665,OOO,0OO, with au-
thorizations that will increase the to-
/ tal in three years to nearly $SOO,OOO,-
OOO With all other expenditures, ap-
propriations were brought to the grand
total of $1,637, ,5S3,6S2, the greatest
aggregate in the country's history and
exceeding that for the last fiscal year
by more than half a billion dollars.
Expenditures, necessitated by pre-
paredness and the calling into action
of military forces to meet the Mexican
emergency demanded revenue leglsla-
ton in the closing days of the ses-
sion. Congress responded by doubling
the normal tax on incomes, creating
an inheritance tax, munitions tax and
miscellaneous excise taxes to raise
S2O5 900 900 and by directing sale OF
$3.50 900 900 Panama canal bonds.
Congress established a tariff COM
mission; government shipping board
to rehabiitate the American merchant
marine: a workmen's compensation
commission to administer new uni
, form compensation law; farm loan
| banking system; a child labor law
r enlarged the system of self-govern-
r ment in the Philippines and enacted
many other important laws which had
been contemplated by the administra-
ton.
The session was disturbed through
out by frequently recurring threats OF
foreign complications from the Euro
pean war and imminence at one time
of diplomatic break with Germany;
interference with American mails ana
commrce; invasion of American soil
and killing of Americans by Mexican
bandits, and danger of actual war
with Mexico.
Later in the session trouble arose
in the senate over the nomination OF
Louis d Brandeis of Boston, to sue
coed the late Justice Lamar as a
I member of the supreme court. Weeks
= of Investigation and delberation by the
judiciary committee ended in con-
frmation of Mr.. Brandeis by a large
c majority.

ments of the session, exclusive OF

compartment of mist, vessels could

red fleet to make its way through the
flotillas of torpedo boat destroyers ana
scout vessels sent out by the blue or
defending fleet. As part of the tram

in handling one-pounders. In the tar

firing was at the rate of four shots
to the minute, the range starring al

200 yards. The one-pounders were
mounted in the bows of motorboats,
and the attack was made to initiate
landing party. The pointers of the
gun crews soon found it was no easy
matter to score a hit with the boat
