Special Correspondence Of The Star.
OTTAWA. Canada, February e.
When the Canadian parliament meets,
February 26, it will be in the mag
nifcent new buildings. erected at a
cost which will ultimately run to be-
tween eight and nine million dollars.
1t will probably be not far from two
years yet before they are finally out
Of the hands of the contractors. but
they are sufficiently far advanced to
permit the two houses Of parliament
TO meet in more comfort than in the
present incommodious quarters in the
Victoria Museum. which have been
used since the old parliament build
inRs we're burned, four years ago
work yet to be done on the buildings
The senate side will not be finished
for another year. nor has the main
tower yet been begun. From an archi-
tectural viewpoint, therefore. only a
very inadequate conception can be Sc
cured of how the finished pile will
look. In the meantime the members
of the upper house viii meet in the
large and beautiful room which will
later be used as a parliamentary COM
mittee room.
The old buildings were burned on
the night of February 3. 1916. The
house of commons was in session at
the time. and the member for North
cumberland was holding forth on his
favorite subject of the fisheries, when
the members and a few spectators in
the gallery were startled by Charles
Stewart. the veteran doorkeeper.

lneendiarism Suspected.
With the war at it's height. as 1t
then was. and the air filled with ru-
mors of the activities Of German
spies, it was natural that there
should have been the suspicion of in
cendiarism. An investigation failed to
reveal the probability of enemy ac-
ton and the real cause of the fire has
never been discovered.
Tho day following the fire parlia-
ne, moved TO the Victoria Museum,
which has a large auditorium, though
very deficient in acoustic properties
oters were at once taken to recon

building committee composed of menu
bers of both political parties was
formed, The architectural work was
placed in the hands of Mr.. John A.
pearson of Toronto. who describes
himself as a "Scotch-Yorkshire-C
dian." and who has spent all his pro-
fessional life in Canada.

painting Is planned in the commons
chamber and elsewhere. but a great
part of that will be the work Of the
future. There is some fine wood
carving in the premiers room, the
work of the Bromsgrove Guild, and
airplane glue is being used on the
woodwork here where necessary.
There are seven or eight hundred
workmen scattered throughout the
vast building. and great many of
them are men who had been there
at work before enlisting to go to war.

called for the purpose of considering

out the subject and to investigate
the theory of business management.
it being supposed that if they find
that the arguments favoring this
plan have the preponderance of
strength they will adopt it. 1t is no
great risk to run. 1t is merely
placing the community's affairs on
the same business-like basis that any
sensible firm adopts in conducting it's
business affairs. A board of direct
ors is chosen and business manager
is employed, whose duty it is to at
tend to the business Of the firm or

told of its accomplishments in com
munication to and printed in the
Tampa Tribune a few days ago. Mr..

The present admistIa alton has not
increased taxes in any amount what

ever. We went into office Feburar!
l20, 1920, when 1919 taxes were al
most past due and which valuations
and rates were fixed by the city coun
Icil. This ADMINISTRATION only collected
the taxes as fixed by the city coun
Icil. Under the law, we have had NJ
opportunity to Increase or lower tax
es since we have been in office. How
ever, sitting as an equalization
board reviewing the assessments
made by the assessor for 1920 by
'equalizing valuation about 100000
have been added to the aggregate es-
lsessment. The assessor added about
; 100000 to the aggregate assess
ment over last year from property
placed thereon which should have
been but was never on the tax books
before. With this added valuation,
we will be able to decrease millage
probably as much as three mills less
than last years millage. Although
expenses for the operation of all
businesses having increased within
the last twelve months, on account of
installation of business methods and
economies effected, the ADMINISTRATION
will not ask for an additional dollar
to operate on in 1920. "City expend-
itures" have not increased but are
lowered. Fixed salaries for October,
1919, were S1,S67.91 and for Octob-
err, 1920, is 100000. No increase
has been made by this administration
in light rates. The same rate adopt
ed by city council effective October /,
1919, is still in effect without any
change whatever. The only change
in gas is that now 81 per month min
Imum is charged as against soc per
month minimum formerly. The gas
rate remains just as it was formerly. |.
The water bills are now payable |
instead of quarterly For |
nerly the quarterly minimum ranged !
rom $3.50 to $125.0O, now the mini
mum for all is 81. Formerly a con-
sumner paid the same rate per 200
gallons on all water used and the /
ate paid was governed by the con-
ract each consumer had with the
'ity. Most consumers paid 33 1-3 +
'ents per thousand gallons for all
water used but some paid as low as
en- cents per 1000 gallons. This
vas discrimination. The rate now
harged to everybody is fifty cents
Ter 1000 gallons for first 1000 gal
ons consumed and on down a sliding
Gale TO much lower rates, each con-
umer paying same rate for like
mount of water used. This change
lit the favored ones.
No drive has been made by the
looking to increase in
evenue, but only for equalization.
Me result of this drive" is lower /,
