Restoring Stonehenne

Now that Stonehenge, the grandest
and most mysterious monument in
Britain, has become the property Of
the nation, the government is putting
it to careful and painstaking repair
in order to prevent the ultimate col
lapse of its mighty Hanging stones. 3"
1t was five years ago that Sir Edward
Anrobus, Wiltshire baronet. sold
the ancient monument to e. Fl. f.
Chubb of Salisbury for $4,000, and il
was two years ago when Mr.. Chubb
presented his purchase to the British
government. The war was then still
on and the office of works, to whose
care 1t fell, had other things to think
about, but now that the war is end.
ed the office Of works has speedily set
about the task of preserving the great
mopoliths Of Stonehenge.
Half a dozen men under the direc.
ton of Sir Frank Balnes of the Of
dee Of works, are making the ancient
circle Of stones look as il did when II
was completed by the sun worshipers
of Salisbury plain some 5000 years
ago.

JENKINS CASE AGAIN
 BEFORE HIGH COURT
American Consular Agent May Be Expelled If He Is Found
 Cmigfr

Mexico City. Feb. 19.-As q result of d controversy between the courts of PuebIa as to jurisdiction the case of w. O. Jenkins, L. g. consular agent in that city. is again before the supreme court Following the arrest of Mir Jenkins last November on various charges. including aiding rebel forces in that district, the supreme court de- cided the federal court in Pucbla had authority to try the case.
 Judicial investiga ton. however, was pushed by Julio Mitchell state prosecutor of PuebIa. in the criminal court. the prosecutor in the m meantime stating in several issues that Jenkins was guilty of crimes charged against him. Ii was recently announced that Jenkins authorization to act proVis- ional1y as consular agent had been voked and that he would proba hly be expelled from the >countI<- if convict ed in court.
 Press reports regarding the Jen llins investigation in Puebla and also Pros ecutor Mitchells statements have al- ways mentioned the PuebIa criminal court as the tribunal investigating the case. despite the fact that the supreme courts ruling demonstrated the jurjs- Giction of the federal court. Docu- mentary claims from the Puebla criminal and district courts were re- ccived yesterday by the supreme court and it appears the controversy be- tween the tribunals in Puebla is not considered settled. Throughout the proceedings Jenk ins has been at tempting to secure trial before the federal court.

He brought out that the increase in appropria- tions nas been in the ratio of four and one half to one since 1906 while the increase in the grand list has been two and a half to one. This makes our appropriation proportionately higher. though il does not actually af- feet the amount of money that we are forced to spend. Increases in valua- ton have not been taken care of properly, but there is a reNaluation on foot at the present time Provid- ing that the valuation, when it is reached. is fair to all it makes little difference what the grand list amounts to.

TEE TAX RATE.

Residents of New Britain will be called upon to pay. according to esti- mates accepted by the Common Coun- cil as prepared by tbe Board of Finance. tax rate of twenty-seNen and nine-tcnthS mills upon their holdings here. Together with Il tax Of about two mills levied during last year and payable this, 10 meet the expenses in connection with the pay of school teachers and the purchase mills. However. at the city meeting the vote will be upon the acceptance oi a twenty-seven and nine-tenths mill tax. The Common Council has decided that the boa rd which drew up the schedule was justified in it's al lotments to various causes. there can be little arguing against the decision of the two bodies, even though there is determined opposition to the levy ing of the tax.
 The raise in rate is truly deplorable to ;,iI of us. Ii means a substantial increase in the amount that we must pay for enjoying the conveniences that the city has to offer. No one may question the advisa bility of spending the amounts that have been appro- priated, provided that he has the best interests of the community at heart and does not desire to cripple it's growth in any fashion. There may be sopa rate questions brought upon any Of the expenditures if there is a gen uine desire to eliminate any partic- ular improvement or branch of the city governmeN. It does not seem as if the public is willing to do this, it those who would do away with our street lighting. for instance. and ob- ject to the appropriation of S34.OO0 for this purpose. We can get along without street lights if we must and save good sum, but it marks a de- cided step backward. into the dark ages. as it were.

The fact that the Board of Filance and TaGtt ton has made an honest endeavor to keep down it's esti- mates in every department euaran- tees that no appropriations may be disturbed without Il loss that will be felt.

Mayor Ouigley has explained his stand on the proposed Comm unity House in the northern section of the city. His statements are:
 As one of those who endorsed the tuilding of Community House in the northern section of the city. feel that the public should krow the ia cts of the matter and that a state m ent from me a this time would not hc out of place. In the firr: place this is not :a Memorial building to the veterans of the World war. neither is it d. Polish club house While it is true that kosciuszko post World War Veterans. have taken Up the work of raising fund for Com muni1y House it is no, their irlen- tion or the intention If their en- dorsers to make it d Polish center.
 The idea of it's erection i. to make it a Community House strict ly. for an Americanization center. No one can question tHe neeG of such an institution in this city. We have been advocating .tmerica niaa- ton work in districts winch are eS- sentiaIly foreign and believe that 1he building of Community House n-sectarian in character. to which oll residents will be welcome re- :-ardless of nationality. Is the great est .Americanzatjon movement ever undertaken here. All honor should be given the American soldier of i'ollSh descent who hls undertaken this work l feel the public should he generous in support cr the pro- jcct.
 TX osciuszko post is an orsaniza- ton composed of American soldiers, veterans of the late war. not Polish soldiers. The building of the club house will not only be benefit to the district in which ii is erected but will also be an educational fac tor in the city.
 ''I was informed this m orIlinS by a com mittee that waited on me that those interested in the erection Of a Community House will lend their support and energy to the drive for q M Memorial building. as proposed, when that drive is inaugurated.
