Pass Bill Relieving Richmond
Of Heavy Assessments
BIZ Special Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
TOTTENvILLE, April S-Both
branches OF the legislature last week
passed Assemblyman Thomas Il. Cur
ley's bill to relieve residents of the
County OF Richmond from burden
some assessments heretofore or to be
hereafter levied for so-called improve
ments. The bill enables the comp
troller TO compromise uncollectible
tax and assessment liens.
Striking Example.
The assessment liens on the
Mathez property on the Little Glove
road is an instance. This property is
assessed on the tax commissioners
book at $4,000. The combined as
sessments for the Canal street outlet
sewer. the Targee street sewer and the
widening and extension of Targee
is still a mile away from the
property. N the property is not in
any degree benefited. Such a tax lien
Is uncollectible and u~nsaleable. I'm
less this bill becomes a law such a
lien cannot be compromised.
There are a large number of such
Instances of unfair and unjust assess
ments in the County OF Richmond. as
as in other parts of the Greater
City. and this bill will enable them TO
be Strengthened out.
Seeking Highest Authority.
Mr.. Curley before introducing the
bill obtained the approval of the
by Cone4sg1lsE Crsi--CQr-
TnntCasssf Burr and Wniam
Gnond, president OF the Board
ASSESSORS OF the city of New York.
The bill will have a hearing before
the mayor on next Thursday morn
ing. April 10. at the City Hall, and
deserves the support and approval of
every lea estate owner in the
County Of Richmond.

Copyright. 1919. N. E. A.
My husband won't eat carrots and

He is fond of green onions inc ]
like them boiled with a winters meal
On most other things we are agreed.
When it came time for us to decide
how much of this and how little OF
that we were going to grow in our
garden naturally he wanted to grow
garden onions in about every other
row. and he marked of a tiny spot
for carrots.
Finally we compromised, as many

to do. We planted a lot of onions, be-
cause they're good boiled, too. And
we had carrots enough 10 last us all

What shall I sow? That's a ques

If you are making garden 10 sell vege-
tables grow those things you can har-
vest earliest. before the large truck
gardens produce their big crops. If
you are making a home garden, grow
the things your family likes best
But don't forget that some things
take up altogether too much space for
the average small backyard garden.
Melons, cucumbers. squashes, pump

ter buy them and raise such small
space eaters as onions, lettuce, radish-
es, beets, beans, peas, carrots. par
ships, parsley, spinach.
Potatoes. corn, tomatoes, cabbages

even the smallest backyard. Toma-
toes are much better fresh and ripe OF

green and allowed to ripen on the way
from the truck farm.
That's true, too. of sweet corn. No
one knows the real taste of sweet corn
unless he takes it from his own gar
den stalks just before 1t Is wanted in
the kitchen.
So II you have quite a fairsized plot,
and you like sweet corn and toma-
toes. plant 'em. We did. but then, we
have a garden 700 feet wide and even
longer.

their homes in Richmond, Va. Not
finding work they went to Cincinnati
where they found employment at $12
per week, paying $3.50 for board. Be-
ing out of work for the past two weeks
they soon found they could not make
ends meet, so they started to walk
home. Upon reaching Maysville they
were arrested as being desters from
Camp Lee. They were held in Jail for
seven days. The Y. M. c. A. investi-
gated their case and found out that
they were not deserters but had been
