UNPOPULAR BILL


Tho city commission wired p pro

protesting against signing the bin
recently passed bl the legislature
providing Tor paying for the paving
OF street intersections OUT of the gen
eral city funds. Sioux Fails. and
probably other cities, are urging
strong protests, taking the view that
development would he stopped short.
The new law provides for Tho
payment of the COS. Of intersections
Of streets out Of the general funds
of the cities. General funds of cities
are not generally ia shape to handle
the burden, especially where i'm
proyement is being made on a large
scale. This would necessitate bond
ing the city for the sum; and. in
view OF the fact that the improve
ment is made in the richer parts of
cities. voters, ii is thought, would
regard the plan of voting bonds for
such a purpose with distrust and
aversion. And the result would be
the short and immediate stoppage
Of improvement. Another provision
Of the same bill provides for pay-
ment OF the cost IN ten instead OF
five years payments,
II is usually the business men OF a
city whoinitiate Improvements Of this
kind In Madison it is the business
men who initiated il. and who expect
TO pay for III. allowing the benefit
TO accrue 10 whomeyer may use the
streets. 1t is usually the business
streets that first need and receive
the Improvement Of paving, and the
opinion prevails among business men
that. TO take this initiative from
them stops active city improvement
at once and indefinitely.
Senator Uroahl this morning ex-
pressed his endorsement of the new
bill. He says that it is similar to
laws already in force in Iowa and
Minnesota, and like a law formerly
i'm force in this state, but recently
repealed or superseded. He urges
that ii is not according to justice to
saddle the cost OF street intersec-
tons upon property owners Of the
block - THE law under which we
are doing our improving for Madison
fixes the cost of intersections upon
the quarterback directly affected. }
but that the city as a whole should
take care OF its improvements. He
does not regard the matter of rails
ing the money as being more diff
cult upder the new law than under
the old one.
Business men also take the stand
that in the event of having paving
finished before the new law takes ef-
feet. streets crossing the finished
streets, coming under the new law,
must be paid for in proportion by
those who have already been taxed
for their proportion Of the streets
finished before. They must assist
in paying the bonds voted, If the
city should succeed in voting such
bonds.
The new provision will not affect
the paving already contracted fofi
but for Center street the commission
cannot possibly have the work in
shape to close before the law is in
effect July LIST. Not wholly advised
as to it's procedure, Mayor Waskey
states that the Center street propo-
sition Is in for considerable trouble.
If it is paved the intersections will
probably have TO be paid for out OF
the general fund; the general fund
will not take care of such a burden
bonds will be difficult or impossible

to get. Improvement OF that street
may yet have to be abandoned.
The men who have the interests
Of the city at heart view the matter
with disapproval In view of the
fact that other cities of the state
are protesting against signing the
bill, providing the governor has not
already attached his signature, they
feel themselves warranted and iusti-
fled in their approval and protest.

 anything that transpired Saturday night. He said: They tell me I've shot my mother in law, but ] don't re- member a thing
 He came home crazy drunk and go- ing to table where he kept his pistol and cartridge belt, armed himself and walked about the rooms of the house, discharging the gun promiscuously. Finally, reaching his bedroom, in which his wife and child were, he continued to shoot.
 Mrs. Petrizzi hearing the shots, hurried to the part of the house oc- cupied by Polccrto. Reaciling his room, she stood on the threshold of the door, about to remonstrate, when she was struck by one of the bullets from the Italians revolver.
 Polcorto left the house shortly after the shooting and was apprehended in Bank street by Sergt. Benjamin Beebe and Patrolnlap McKenna, who were summoned to the scene by an excited Italian. He was immediately taken to the New London police station and locked up.
 After everything possible had been done at the home in Shaw street to ailay the sufferings of the injured woman, she was removed to the Law renee hospital, where it has been said that she will recover and may be able to leave the hospital in a week, if nothing unforeseen develops.
 Po1corto was arraigned before Judge Colt Monday morning, when the charge of assault with intent to kill was pre- ferred against him. Because of the necessary absence of Mrs. Petrizzi, the case was continued until Dec. II to allow time for her recovery.
