TWENTY {! MILL TAX
 RATE IS ADOPTED
Park Street Paving and Fire Sta-
 ton Are Eliminated

Led by Alderman Charles May, the few first warders and sympathizers who were insistent that a new south west fire station be built this year went down to overwhelming defeat at the city meeting last night at the hands of vast majority, ably repre- sented on the floor by Thomas H. Ke- hoe, Orson F. Curtis. B. M. IIillstrand, Emil Brumbaum and Howard M. Steele. The Park street paving was also cast into the discard and the city meeting voted to eliminate both of these improvements and set the tax rate for the coming year at an even twenty mills, a reduction of three quarters of a mill from the figures recommended by the finance board divided into sixteen mills in the first zone and four mills in the second zone.
 Quigley For War Economy.
 The city meeting last night was one of the most largely attended in sOmo time, but from the outset 1t was ap- parent that as much as the citizens want improvements, they want the tax rate kept at twenty mills or less even more. In opening the meeting Mayor George A. Quigley stated that when the board of finance and taxation made up the estimates and fixed the tax rate at twenty and 'three-quarters ] mills war had not been declared with Germany and at the time all felt that it was highly advisable to build the new fire station and also pave Park <u,o nfo that oro l needed. Since then." the mayor said. 1 i've have got into war and we are fac- 1 ing unknown problems. We don't :: know what we have got to face during coming year, therefore I would rec 1 ommend that these two items be cut l out of the estimates so as to lessen the
 burden of taxation on the citizens" l In explanation of his stand the mayor i further stated that hy moving a mo- | tor pumping engine to No. fire sta
 ton and installing flying squadron 1 at No. station he thinks the southern
 part of the city will have ample pro- i lection. As for Park street, the mayor i said he was interested in it's improve
 ment. but he thinks 1t can go over
 for another year.
 | Kehoe and Curtis Support Mayor. City Treasurer F. s. Chamberlain ] presented resolution asking that the
 tax rate be fixed at twenty and three
 quarter mills whereupon Nr. Kehoe
 moved that $24,2S2 for permanent
 paving be stricken out of the board of
 public works estimates. MT. Cham
 herlain objected to thus interfering
 with the plan of the city administra-
 ton in paving at least one street each
 year. He said that half mill tax. or
 fifty cents on each thousand dollars
 assessment, would care for this item
 He said that wages are good now and
 earnings are large and as the tax vii
 be paid by July the money will be

option of site for $1,560. Regard ing the construction of the house, Al derman May exclaimed that the argtl- ments of great expense were ui4- founded: He said 1t was not propps0 to build an elaborate house. '.Wh4t we want; he said. is . fire station of
 the bungalow style. There won't be much of any second floor and the firemen sleep in bunks." The alder man also said that the parents of the $50 pupils in the Monroe street school are entitled to protection. Speaking on the expense item Alderman May stated that the board of public works has in it's street improvement fund an appropriation for the widening of Lake street, but before he could con- tinue City Treasurer Chamberlain pricked the unfinished argument full of holes by advising the alderman that he was in error. There is no appropriation for this work although the Improvement fund has money in
 1t. Leaving this argument, the first warden returned to the attack. He
 said that about half of the value of
 the city is south of the railroad tracks.
 He also said that when there is a fire
 in this section the people have
 nothing to gain and everything to
 lose. When there is fire north of
 the tracks. he said, many times the
 people have their stuff heavily insured
 and have nothing to lose and every
 thing to gain. He maintained that the
 fire station can be properly built for
 $11, ,500.
 MT. Kehoe said he lives in the first ward and wants as much protection as he can get, but he believed in , looking at the matter with common sense. He said that with a new fire station there will be no more ap- paratus than present plans call for. Whatever added protection there may be, he said, will be whatever difference in time there would be in the fire de- partment speeding from the Arch street armory southward. 'Is that
 worth BOO under present con-
 ditions?" he asked; adding wait till you can get new apparatus and men and then build your station for if you do it now it will give you neither. nor
 will it give you one foot more of 'hose."
 Following some more debating in which MT. Chamberlain, MT. Brum- baum, MT. Curtis and Howard M. Steele figured it was voted to elimi- nate the fire station. It was then l voted to fix the tax rate at 20 mills Treasurer Chamberlain also intro duced a. resolution giving the city the right to sell any and all lands that have been acquired by foreclosure or liens. It was passed

Way in Front for 8 Years

 Of fcourse, Fatima's remarkable sales do moi make Fatimas taste any better

in fact, no cigarette can just suit every mans personal taste.
 But it proves that MOST men find that Fatimas keep their promises-that Fatimas do taste good and are com fortable sohile you arc smoking and that after you smoke they leave you feeling just as fine as before.
 Yes, Fatimas arc sensible-and some day you'll become Fatima smoker.

 Lord Cecil stated briefly that the peace proposals had been received and were receiving the undivided attention of the government.
 Before reaching any decision in the matter however he announced that it had been decided to hold a general council of the Entente AL lies where the proposals would be
