The petition of the residents on the hill for the op- ening of Dixon Street and West Front Street was disallowed as the cost. on account of bridge work nee essary, would be excessive for the small number of property owners benefited.
 Kendrick & Ferte asked permission to erect biilboards in front of the Chief Johnson property. They stated that they had already leased the right from the owner, but they un. derstood that m eight-foot strip along the street is In controversy.

 Street Line Established

~"hNNAtt"HtNN
 John Hellenthal appeared in per son before the council and asked that the property line on the north side of Front Street between Seward and Franklin Streets be definitely established. The line of the street, as it appears now from the Valentine Building to Franklin Street sets in over the property line a distance ranging from two to six feet. Mir Hellenthal stated that he was per fectly willing to abide by the pres ent established line providing the other property owners would do the same
 Both Mir. Henenthal and Mayor Stewart informed the council that as @ matter of law. if the other prop erty owners contested the claim of the city. it would be exceedingly difficult for the city to hold the property. Maps prepared In 1914 for court records by the council in office at that time recognized the rights of the property owners there and marked the street line out from the present sidewalk line. The coun- ell adopted a resolution authorizing Mayor Stewart to sign an agreement with MT. Hellenthal allowing the new building to set out six feet from one corner over the present street line. or to the proper property line. They also officially adopted the street line as shown on the plat Of the former council.
 The ordinance making 1t misde' mearor for proprletors of pool rooms, billiard halls. and card rooms, to al- low minors to loiter and frequent their places of business was passed. This was understood, however, not to apply to boys actually employed as pin setters in bowling alleys while on duty.
 Dog Tax Goes Over
 The ordinance providing for the taxing of dogs in the city was put over for further investigation by the police committee.
 A number ot the current bills were read and ordered paid after their approval by the proper depart ment heads and the finance commitI tee: Among them were the follow ing: Websters pile driver. $371.5O for pillng used h. the extension of the city dock; Gastineau Hardware Co.,. S2O.O5 for number tags for motor cycles: Juneau Water Go. SiS6.25 for water for city fire protection and 1half Of the city dock water collec- tions; Fire Department. S27 for the Enterprise Foundry fire; Pacific Coast Coal Company $243.75 for coal purchased when the city was short of fuel; Webster's pile driver. S25l, for driving and cappIng the extension of the dock and making repairs to the main dock. and the School Board S1. 500 transferred from the general fund to meet current bills. Street labor bills for men laid off were al' lowed and ordered paid
 The council voted against the pur' chase of the Leighton property to extend the city dock as they consid cred the price of S2,OOO too high.
 The Street Committee asked fur ther time on the matter of sidewalks in the Scatter tract They recon mended that they be built at a later date when the city would have funds and would not have to borrow tho money and pay interest.

GERMANS LEAD
BULCAR FORCES
IN DEMIR HISSAR

ATHENS, May 29.-Bulgarian
troops, equipped with German artillery
ard led by German officers, are Wo-
lently bombarding the allies positions
on the Demir Hissar front in Macedo-
MA.
The Bulgarians have penetrated
Greek territory for fifteen miles and
at some points where the Greek troops
tried to stem the invasion they were
vigorously shelled by the Bulgarians.
All the indications are that the long
expected drive against the allies in
Macedonia Is finally under way and
that the central powers have decided
upon an offensive campaign In prac.
tically all the theatres of war.
otrong protests have been made to
the Bulgarian government by the
Greek government against the intru-
sion Of Bulgarian soldiers on Greek
soil On Sunday mass meetings were
held here and in Salonika when reso-
lutions were -cpted protesting
agains: the invasion of Greece. There
were cries of Down with the Bulgar-
laws"
There are approximately 10000 Bull
Farians and Germans on Greek soil.
The point where the invasion took
place was far to the east of the place
where 1t was expected that the Gen.
trail powers would make their attack.
It was evidently part of some of the
German strategy to take the allies
upon the flank.

CARRAkzA RENEWS
DEMAND THAT u, S,
WITHDRAW TROOPS

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The state
department today faced two grave is
sues with Mexico. Carranza's renew
ed demand for the withdrawal of the
American forces from Mexico was ex-
pected at the state department be-
fore the close of today.
1t is being brought to Washington
by Manuel Mendez, and will be pre-
sented by Elisco Arredondo, Mexican
ambassador designate.
The department has received from
the white house the vigorous protest
sent to President Wilson by Ameri-
cans in the Tampico district, asking
for relief from the confiscatory DEGREES
issued by CarranZa against American
oil operators.
Apart from the deadlock bound to
result over the renewed demand for
the withdrawal of the American forces
the state department, as a result Of the
Tampico protest, faces the most Sc
rious situation that has yet arisen In
its dealings with Mexico over the
rights of American concessionaries.

ASSESSMENT LOSS
MAY MEAN HIGHER
RATES OF TAXATION

The total loss in the assessment Of
all classes of property in Wayne
county for 1916 will be approximately
$4,000 County Assessor Matthews
reported today.
Gain of $4,000 was shown in. the
assessment of property outside OF
Richmond, but owing to the large
number of mortgage notes held by
residents of Richmond. loss of $232.
600 was shown in the Richmond as
sessment, he said.
Few changes are expected from the
board of review which may counteract
the decreases reported by the deputy
assessors.
The loss Of S175,000 in the total as
sessment of the county, may make it
necessary to increase the tax rate this
year correspondingly he said, although
the exact amount OF increase cannot
be determined at this time.

Practically all the members OF the
