CITY TAX SUPERVISORS
COMPLETE THEIR WORK
Figures Are Not Yet Tabulated But
Considerable Increase Over Last
Year Is Expected-AssessOr
Prepares for Committee.

The Board of City Tax Supervisors
which has been In session each day for
the past three weeks, completed its
work this morning and finally ad-
journed for the year. The work Of the
Supervisors was turned over to the
City Assessor, who assisted by, the
Assistant Treasurer, began at once to
tabulate the assessment and find its
totals.
The officials today are unable to
give out any official figures on the
city's assessment but 1t is felt certain
that there will be considerable in
crease over last years figures when
they are finally reached. The Board
just adjourning made several changes
from the reports as turned in by the
taxpayers and the most Of these
changes were increases while some
few were decreases.
The officials are Of the opinion that
the report blank system used by the
city this year for the first time has
proven itself a great success. They
report that there is much more per-
sonalty listed for taxation this year
under this system than ever before
under the old system.
City Assessor Harney expects tc
have figures in good shape for the use
of the Ways and Means Committee Of
Council when they come to make W
the city's annual budget on next Mon
| day.

PERMANENT MEMO
rial TOBE DISCUSSED
HERE ON FRIDAY
Some Permanent Memorial May Be
Started ut Memorial Day Celebra-
tlOn Here Friday-COmmittees
VIII Dine With Speaker.

It Is understood that the much be-
lated movement to erect some form of
permanent memorial for the Mason
county soldiers who served during the
World War may get under headway
in Maysville on next Friday at the
Memorial Day Exercises to be held at
Beechwood Park.
1t was learned today that the spe-
cial committees from City Council, the
County Fiscal Court and the Maysville
Chamber of Commerce, appointed Is
look into the advisability Of erecting
some sort of memorial for the Mason
county boys, have been asked to dine
with Lieutenant Colonel Samuel M.
Wilson on Friday and In this 1t is seen
that some attempt will be made to get
the committees together and started
in some direction.
At Memorial Service held in Gym
thiana few days ago, Col. Wilson put
on foot movement to erect great
Memorial Hospital for the Harrison
county boys and it is expected that the
memorial for the soldier boys will be
discussed by him in his address at
Beechwood on Friday.
The biggest problem here seems to
get the three committees together and
decided upon some form of memorial.
There have been half dozen differ
ent forms of memorial suggested but
the committees have never yet been
able to get together to discuss any Of
these suggestions at length.

NC.4 READY TO
CONTINUE TRIP
ON TO ENGLAND
American Aircraft Reaches POrtugual
safely and Is Ready to Continue
to Plymouth, England.

Lisbon, May 2S. - The Americans
who flew across the Atlantic were
ready today for the hop-off of more
than 700 miles from Lisbon to Ply
mouth, England, This jump will COM
plete their historic air voyage, which
started from Rockaway Beach, N. Y.
Lieutenant Commander A. c. Read,
first man successfully to navigate the
air lanes all the way across the sea,
was up early this morning looking
over prospects of getting away for
England at once.
The NC-4 swept over Lisbon short
ly after 4 p. m. Tuesday, New York
time, after a nearly perfect trip from
Ponta Delgada, Azores. 1t settled
gracefully in the. river beside the
American warship Rochester.
The event, marking an epoch in
the annals of aviation, was hailed by
bedlam of whistles and bells from
the city and the ships in the stream.
Throngs were massed On house tops
and in the streets to hail the Ameri-
can conquerors Of the air as they ap-
peared in the sky. Guns were fired to
add to the din.
Small boats darted out from the
shore, filled with excited Portuguese
and clustered around the NC-4, as II
rested in the water after its SO0-mile
jaunt. The flight from the Azores was
smooth and uneventful, according tc
the crew.
Soon after their arrival, Read and
his men received formal congratula-
tions from Portuguese officials. Wire.
less congratulations also were re.
received from Admiral Jackson ant
Captain Workman at the Azores ant
from other officials.
Read was handed two messages
when he reached here to be delivered
in Plymouth. One was addressed tc
lQueen Mary and was from Rodmar
Wanamaker, who organized the first
projected transatlantic flight.
The first thing the aviators heart
when their motors stopped was tn,
music of the "Star-Spangled Banner
floating over the water from the U. S
| s. Rochester They saluted.
Replying to the congratulations O
the foreign minister, the American
minister declared his belief the fligh
would improve relations between Por
tugual and the United States. H,
thanked The aviators who won for tn,
