REAL ESTATE TAXES
MAY NOW Be SETTLED
New System L. Installed and Proves to
BE Quite Simple and Convenient
for the Public.

City Collector Herbert Eulce stands
ready 20 accept city taxes on real es-
tate for the year, from tomorrow on.
The bills are ready and are now In
the hands OF the collector. Within O
few days the statements will be
mailed 10 those to whom they are
made out, and II at least one-half the
amount is paid before the first of July,
there Will be no added penalty on the
last half, which may be paid later.
One-half must be paid before July.
however, In order to get relief from
the penalty. Many people will pay
year. bur number will simply pay
the first half, and let 1t go at that un-
I'll along about Thanksgiving time.
Comptroller Cofer has installed a
simple system. He has all bills made
out In triplicate. One is mailed to the
taxpayer. 10 notify him that 1t is due.
and to show him how much he owes
the city; one is given him as a re-
ceipt upon payment, and the other Is
placed on file tn the Office.
Many real estate agents have for
years been in the habit of paying the
taxes OF their clients. and not until the
agents have had the opportunity, in
the next few days to make these pay
n1ents, wifi the bills be mailed to the
citizens. But. said Mr.. Golfer yester-
day. any citizen may call at the COL
lector's Office and pay his bin at any
time.
Just two more weeks remain in
which half the bills may be paid with
out penalty, and the comptroller sug-
rests that citizens save themselves the
penalty by paying up now, before the
rush.

What we now ask Is that the men

LEGISLATURE MAY
MEET IN MIDSUMMER

Although indications now point to a
special session of the legislature, 1t Is
not believed that the lawmakers will
convene before the last of July or
sometime In August. Three vacan-
cies exist In the senate and seven in
the house, all of which will have to
be filed by special elections to be or
dered by the governor.
Announcement was made In tele-
gram from S. l. Lupton. president OF
the Virginia Good Roads association,
received in Richmond yesterday, that
sufficient names OF members of both
branches of the general assembly have
been obtained TO insure a special ses-
sion of the legislature,
According to the announcement,
Senators Addison and Strobe signed
the petition calling on the governor TO
convene the solons, Thursday, and as
surance was had from Senators Gar
rett and Rison that they would sign
within day or two. These sigma
lures. according to the announcement,
give the good roads advocates twenty
nine senators and seventy-five dele
gates favoring a special session.
Governor Davis still Is at his home

BEWARE THE FLY IN
VACATION TIME

Warning is issued by the state
health department to all summer
yarationists. Commissioner VIII
iiams asserts that this Is not year
for taking chances. While there Is
no reason to believe that typhoid or
other germs are 10 be more dreaded
now than formerly. 1t is certain that
the mild winter has left legacy or
many flies to carry germs, and II Is
the conviction of all health authorities
that resistance to disease will not be
as strong as usual this year by rea~
son OF the weakening effects that
follow grip.
Some of the Virginia resorts are
virtually as safe as the cities of the
state, others have not paid due atten-
ton TO precautionary measures, and.
as a consequence, their sanitation Is
not up to the standard nor are their
water sources adequately protected.
The health department Is not In
clined to issue any approach to ad-
vice which might be construed as
warning against summer trips, but It
emphatically declares that people
should be very particular this year in
selecting the spots for vacations.
This advice is especially to be
stressed where there are young child
rem in the family. Before taking in
fants on summer trips parents are
being urged TO make sure that the
sanitation OF the place selected Is up
to standard, that tho drinking water
Ia pure and that the house Is screened
Il there are flies in the neigrborhood.
No exact census of safe places is
kept by the department. In fact 1t
could only recommend ouch resort,
as heve been offlcially examined by
It comparatively easy to give advice
regarding hotels, but the countless
homes, which In the summer months
take boarders are only subject to
the advice which would be general
for tho district. The health depart
ment can. In such cases. give the
figures OF the locality for communi-
cable diseases, water sources and sani-
tary improvements.

by thousands Of laboring men," MIR.
Colpys continued. IF they are denied
1t what will they do? The answer from
many Of them Is we won't work.
Only two persons raised their hands
in the negative when Mr.. Colpys called
for @ vote on approval OF the resolu-
tions adopted by the federation in At

gress repeal the beer and wine sections
OF the war time prohibition act.

shouted.
Mr.. Colpys asked: why cant the
members of congress be men enough
to repeal the beer and wine sections
so that two and three quarters per
cent Notwithstanding beer may be en-
joyed by the men and women Of the
country"
| They will have to do it," came from
somewhere in the crowd.

intense enthusiasm when he declared:

time prohibition law in bitter terms.
He declared it is IAN ignoble attempt
and an indecent effort to crowd PROFIT

He added:

sit idle and allow your rights to be

that Is an unmistakable demand for
