CITY CHARTER TO Be

May Submit Amendment For
ReaSSeSSment and Also
One for Bonding

Reassessment OF city properties and
method Of foreclosing liens against
property on account of paving and i'm.
provements viii probably be offered 10
the people Of the city Of Salem as
amendments 10 the city charter. as a
result Of a meeting Of the city council
last night when the recent decision of
the supreme court was discussed. This
decision related 10 the South High
street and the South Twelfth street
paving eases, wherein the city lost ont
on account of technical error in ad-
vertising the notice of improvement.
The council will probobly call a spe.
.eial election when il meets at its reg.
uar meeting one week from next Mon
day night. II is desired to hold the
election sometime in June. Should the
reassesSment amendments to the char.
ter fail at this special election. il is
highly probable that measure to re.
fund all money to property owners for
all improvements in the city since paw
ing started will be on the ballot at the
next city election. This would necessi-
tate bonding the city for about a mil
lion and a half dollars.
lnasmuch as the city of Medford had
a similar situation and got around it by
passing a re-assessmcnt amendment to
the city charter, committee composed
Of .Councilmen Rigdon, Wilson, Unrub
Mayor Keyes, and City Attorney Macy
was appointed to draw up the amend
ments. The amendments will be model.
ed after the Medford ordinances.
1t was decided to employ additional
counsel to assist City Attorney Macy
1t was the opinion of Mayor Keyes
that the re-assessment amendment was
necessary. He said that every city that
tried TO operate without such an amend
ment got into difficulty. He was in
tavor of going after the proposition at
once and getting things settled.
All the eouncilmen present were in
favor of speedy action on the matter
of the amendments. Another special
meeting of the council will be held this
evening.

Transfer Of Property
Is Cause Of Law Suil

In answer to the complaint of Samue!
Shaffer against Earl Gardiner, alleging
that he transferred certain piece Of
land to |. L. Hillburn and Milly b.
Hillburn in order to evade the payment
of judgment found against Gardner
by the court for the seduction Of Shat
fer's daughter, the defendants l. L.
Hillburn and Milly L. Hillhurn state
that on November 3, 1916, they entered
into a contract between Ada F. Gardi-
ner, Mary Gardiner and Pearl Gardiner
Lewis for the purchase of the premises
in question for the consideration OF
$4,000.
The answer to the complaint states
that $1,000 was paid on the execution
of the contract and that the balance
was to be paid on installments. The ans
wer further recites that on February o
1917, they paid $4,000 making a total OF
$4,000 paid on the premises. These facts
were cited to show that the purchase
and sale of the premises was in gooc
faith and not to evade the judgment.

Margaret Mason Writes of
Gotham Fads and Fashions

very sense except sleeve sense and
when i comes TO the places where these
ought to be there is absolutely nothing.
You must bear with these little coats
however, Though they have their
shortcomings they are not really meant
for wear with bare arms.
For every little sleeveless coat there
is a fetching frock with sleeves to
bear il company and thus supply all
deficiencies. II a lack of sleeves must
be dubbed a deficiency.
Zuave. bolero and monkey jackets
are numbered among these smart new
sleeveless coats and pony jackets, too,
are very raeey. Those that aren't en-
broidered are stitched and almost all
and every one boasts a tassel or two
somewhere on it. The sleeves on the
gowns that go with these sleeveless
coats invariably bob with tassel at
their cuff. Sort of survival Of the fit
test these sleeves are, too, since they
are all close fitting and arm fitted.
Apropos of the finish of the fast dis
appearing sleeve species, whether it is
quick finish OF not, at least it is a
novel one in almost every instance.
/ One is tied around the wrist with a
little tassel-ended ribbon and then
flares out again in a fitted frill below
/ the tie. Another Georgette sleeve in a
taffeta frock has snug little cuff of
the folded taffcta finished with a flat
pump bow with one loop longer than
the other that Juts out to the side il
most perky fashion.
Another sleeve to a crepe dress will
a beaded bodice has a beaded cuff that
fits tight up to the elbow and ther
flares out into a fullness of unbeadeC
crepe.
Another of gabardine has a tight
cuff with three rows of stitching fas
tened with a flat bone button, thu
stitching and the buttons repeated
three times up to the elbow where thu
sleeve iuts out at a tangent. A white
satin finish on Chinese blue char
meuse sleeve is cuff that turns dowI
with two points over the hand that arr
adangle each with white tassel JUS
waiting to drop into ones soup.
So you see you may scrap up ;
sleeve or two to laugh in this season
but the laugh is bound to be an empty
or hallow one and nine times out of ter
it is apt to be on you.

Too Much Kick IN Cider
Caused Makers Arrest

As a result of women of North Salem
coming to the police officers with tears
in their eyes and asserting that their
lives were being made miserable and
their homes being broken up, G. E.
BURNETT, who operated the North
Salem Cider works at 372 A street, was
arrested this morning after the police
officers and Constable Varney had raid
ed the place and caught six men drink
ing hard cider. Burtnett was arraigned
in Justice Webster's court this after
noon.
Constable Varney and Chief of Po-
lice Cooper have been working on the
case for some time, as complaints have
been received for month past. One
woman declared that unless some ac.
ton was taken she would commit
suicide. as she could not stand the re-
suits of the cider drinking, which ap'
parently drove the drinkers crazy.
The evidence was secured in the
hands of the men as they were drink
ing. The cups out of which they were
drinking were secured with the liquor
in them.
Burtnett is accused of maintaining
nuisance in that he kept Intoxicating
liquors, wines, and hard cider. Tests
of the liquor is being made in order tt
determine just how much alcohol is IL
the stuff.

So seeks TO be well armed
From shoulder to wrist.
New York, May l2.-Sleeves are in
deed becoming a minus quantity. Soon
they will be as extinct as the ichthy-
ornis. In seasons past we have brave
ly and unflinchingiy presented arms
to leg-o-mutton, bishop, puff, balloon,
bell, tight, flowing, mOusquetairc, wing
and angel sleeves but this year a sleeve
by any other name would still be next
TO nothing.
At least this sleeveless fashion will
free US from the shadow of arrest for
carrying concealed weapons since we
no longer carry our arms up our sleeves
but 60 around brandishing them quite
open and above board.
Positively anyone appearing in any
thing as obsolete and outrageous as a
sleeve in an evening gown would be
taken out and shot at sunrise. Even
the ordinary quota of two ieweled
straps or two bead strands, one over
each shoulder, has become bit too
sleevy for the extreme sleeveless en-
thusiasts and so they are left with but
a single strap to cling to.
In their struggle for existence the
sleeves in the afternoon and daytime
frocks and gowns are worn to mere
shadows of their former substantial
selves. They are thin and fragile and
wraithlilSe of Georgette crepe, chiffon
net or shadow laces. Most of them
have dwindled or shrunk to half OF
their former great lepgths and as elbow
sleeves are content at most to reach to
the funny bone.
just few regulation sleeves there
are left in daytime frocks that will
pass muster. These are for wear will
