TWO FIRE ALARMS FOR
BLAZE IN SAME HOUSE

Two alarms OF fire for blaze con-
fined to the same house, in each in
stance-one at 6:30 yesterday after
noon and the other at 12:45 today
furnished a strange coincidence in the
history of the volunteer fire depart
ment of the city.
The house in question is on Corn
hill street and is occupied by the fam
lily of Len Robinson. A couch catch
ing fire caused the alarm to be turned
in yesterday afternoon, and today
mattress was discovered ablaze in one
of the bedrooms on the second floor.
Firemen and apparatus OF all three
companies responded to the calls, but
the blazes were extinguished with
little difficulty.

WREATH PLACED ON
GRAVES OF FRENCH
Rain Interferes With Other
Plans For Bastille Day
Celebration
MAY BE ANNUAL EVENT

Plans made by the City Council for
the celebration yesterday of the
French holiday, Bastille Day, were
held up last night by the downpour
of rain that occurred at the hour ap-
pointed for the ceremonies, and the
only part of the preparation which
was actually carried out was the
placing OF a wreath at the base of
the French monument located on the
rear campus of ST. Johns College.
A great amount of interest in the
event seemed to have been stirred
even on the short notice given of the
proposed decoration of the French
graves. and favorable comment on
the plan of the council was heard
from many quarters. Only the threat
ening appearance of the weather pre-
vented the assembling of many wit
nesses OF the prepared program.
which included music by the Naya'
Academy band and speeches of pre-
sentation and acceptance of the
wreath.
When the time for the ceremony ar
rived those who we're present, with
the bandsmen, had to look for shelter
from the approaching storm, however.
The committee from the City Coun-
ell, consisting of acting Mayor Tay-
lOr. and Aldermen Smith and Russell,
placed the wreath upon the spot.
The wreath is a large one of laurel,
and the placing OF it on the monu
ment marks perhaps the beginning of
annual ceremonies of the sort, which
will be renewed evidences OF the
friendship that exists between the
United States and France. At the
meeting of the City Council at which
il was decided that the city should
appropriate the money needed for the
observance of the day it was suggest
ed that the Bastille Day ceremonies
might bo worthily made a regular
event in Annapolis. where sons of
Americas great ally are buried. The
suggestion was met with favor in the
council and among the citizens. The
general accord seems to insure con-
tinuation of the tribute

S345,O64.26 GAIN IN
PROPERTY FOR YEAR
Assessment Shows More Than
Third Of A Million Increase
In Taxable Realty
FIGURES ARE PLEASING

More than a third of a million in
new taxable property is the growth
made by Annapolis for the year 1920,
according TO City Collector and Trea-
surer George Quad, in a statement TO
the City Council on the results of a
recently made survey. The actual
gain is given as $345, 5,06426 The new
property consists of a large variety
of buildings, many dwellings being
added to the lists, in spite of high
building costs. Garages come in for
prominent part of the amount rep
resented. speaking well for the in
creased automobile ownership in An
napolis.
The largest single item of the newly
assessed property is that of $59,92S
for the State Circle Apartments, COM
pleted this year. The improvements
in this building were made by Mrs.
Charles Morrow. Four other items on
the assessment record went above
$4,000. They were structures and
improvements made by the following
for the amounts given: q. Mott Will
liams. $10,S65; Miss NJ. C. Dugan. S22,-
800; Robert Combs, $20,0SO; f. j..
Schmidt. $13,500.
The property growth is quite sat-
isfactory. With the census returns,
which showed a gain of more than
30 per cent. in Annapolis popula
ton during the past ten years, the in
crease of property values indicates a
steady and healthy addition to the
population and riches of the city.
