The available revenue in sight, without
making an increase in the tax rate on real
estate. is only s2,25o,000. Here is an
apparent deficit of about three-quarters
of million dollars, n sum probably
greater than was required for the entire
expense of municipal administration thir-
ty years ago.
How shall this financial gap be bridged?
BY reduction of the appropriations con-
siderably below the estimates, or by pro-
viding for Increased revenue through u
heavier tax on real estate?
This is difficult problem to solve. IL
is apparent the city would suffer TO a
considerable extent by an abrldgement OF
its operations. There is actual need oi
far more than is contemplated even under
the increased estimates for the next hscal
year. On the other hand, there is not a
single owner of real estate in the city who
is not painfully aware that real estate al
ready is taxed to the extreme limit OF
fairness. Higher taxes on houses also
would mean higher rents for people to
pay. And that is something most un-
desirable at this time.

Surely we have here presented some
thing for our people to think about. and
to think very seriously If they can md
the members of City Council in any way
by advice or recommendation let them do
so. IL they can aid in any manner IN
undoing the legislative tanglc over m
creased revenue, go to it. There should
be an effort. during the few remaining
days Of the special session, either to nave
this matter attended to completely, and
in manner that will dispel oil doubts, or
nothing should be done at all in this dlrec-
ton. II will be far better TO leave the
situation as il is than to adopt measures
of relief which would invite legal contests
over their enforcement.
In that event, the City Council would
have no other course open than to apply
the most rigid economy. in an effort 70
make the best provision possible for the
coming fiscal year without increasing the
tax rate on real estate. We believe all
concerned will agree to this. For no adj
dition can be made TO the burden Of taxa
tion on real estate without the inevitable
result Of it's transfer. 20 large extent, to

Here Are Things to Think About.

The people of Wilmington have much
TO occupy their minds, and great deal to
disturb their equanimity, including some
things that incite aggravation and con-
cern. There is, first, the feverlsh condi-
ton of unrest that does not seem TO have
diminished great deal since the close OF
the war. from whence it epanated. There
10 the eternal question of the high cost OF
living. now happily showing some indica-
tions of rational solution. There Is the
disturbing prevalence of violent CRIME,
especially of robberies and burglarles.
There is the Legislature in special session,
doing nothing practical, spending great
deal of money and keeping up tar too
much harmful excitement over the suffrage
problem. Also. we are entering, with the
rest Of the country, upon Presidential
campaign. as well as State political cam
paign, and we all know how political con-
tentions claim large share of attention.
And with all these disturbing and dis
tracting elements, there are come matters
of local irnportance--of very great I'M
portance-to which it would be well for
our people TO give careful consideration.
DESPITE these distractions, it is in
cumbent upon our citizens at this time TO
give attention TO some conditions OF
municipal administration. We have fallen
sadly behind in recent years in respect OF
many adjuncts Of local government which
have great influence upon our personal
and municipal well-being. We have be-
come negligent in respect Of many OF those
functions Of administration which count
largely for effective service. Our streets
need Improvement and more thorough
cleaning. Much street paving is de-
mandcd. Our Water Department is fac
ing the problem Of not only necessary ex-
tensions. but Of protecting our water
supply against dangerous contamination.
If this department had the free financial
hand it enjoyed for so many years, with
profit TO the city IN the most admirable
service, it might almost entirely work out
It's own salvation, but it is handicapped
and restricted by unwise regulations i'm
posed wears ago, the result Of partisan
manipulation, which compel it TO turn
all its revenues into the city treasury
and conduct its operations on appropria-
tions made annually by City Council.
The backward condition Of our public
schools, and the pressing necessity OF a
larger appropriation to insure better ser
vice and especially to increase the salaries
of our poorly-paid teachers, are we'll
known to all interested citizens.
Are not these subjects of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant the serious attention
of our people, especially those who pay
the burden of municipal taxation? We
are sure they are.

OIL-SOAKED SHIP
WON'T TAKE FIRE

NEW YORK.-EXperts of the
army and navy aviation service
are preparing reports to the gov
eminent on the flying demonstra-
ton of flaming, oil-soaked, fire
proofed airplane and its midnight
landing device witnessed by them
near here. American and British
experts who saw the spectacular
demonstration by Paul Collins,
civilian flyer, said it marked one
of the most important develop
ments in aviation since the arm
istice.
Many mail aviators have been
killed recently by flaming ma
chimes.
Before making his ascent to an
altitude OF 5000 feet, Collins ma
chine was treated throughout with
the fire proofing dope" and then
completely saturated with gasoline.
Collins, himself, donned a costume
similarly treated At his highest
altitude he set fire to the gasoline.
On his descent, at about 1000 feet,
he also touched off two flares of
magnesium on the tips of the
wings and by manipulating two
mirrors under the fuselage, he il
Illuminated the whole landing field,
enabling him to make a perfect
daylight landing.
The fire-proofing, as well as the
mechanical apparatus for operating
the device, is the invention OF

Fleming was sentenced to the non

in Lincoln county in a quarrel over
the use of ditch water. That was 70
years ago. He was tried, found guilty
and sentenced to be hanged, but the
sentence was later committed to life
and on five different occasions the
board has cut down the sentence nm
til time was so short that he had
little left to serve. Then the board
stepped in and pardoned him.

PASS ORDINANCE
AGAINST DANGER
DURING FIRE RUN

An ordinance was passed at tho
regular meeting of the city council
last night which is expected to al
leviate the danger to hurrying IRE
fighters. About two weeks ago, as
the fire trucks we're rushing to an
swer q fire alarm. two Ford auto
mobiles impeded the speed Of the
apparatus, with the result that
Chief Farr requested the passage
of the ordinance.
According to the wording Of the
ordinance, any auto driver who
hears fire truck approaching
shall pull to the right side of the
road or street and come to a stop,
remaining there until all of the fire
apparatus has passed or gone in
another direction. Failure to do
this puts the driver Of the machine
liable to arrest and a fine of not
less than $50 nor more than 500.
The vote of the aldermen was
unanimous in the passage OF the
ordinance.
Other routine business was trans
acted and the meeting adjourned at
an early hour.

ssnixation Of Sewage System
for Entire City.

Moline board Of local improve
ments held . hearing on the fouI-
teenth street paving project tnis
morning. Sewer troubles OF resi-
dents Of the southwest part OF MO-
line were revived. The hearing on
the pavement was continued to fen.
8 as result Of that development. In
the meantime the entire problem OF
sewer and paving will be turned 10
the council for consideration.
Objections to the paving speeoiiy
turned into . discussion Of the pos
sibilities of a new sewer system
running to Rock river. Lyle Pay
ton, city engineer, declared sucn q
sewerage system would be impos-
sible until Moline annexed ROCK
river. Directors to paving on Four
teenth street between Twenty-ninta
and Thirty-fourth, avenues declared
they will object to pavement until
sewer facilities are provided.
The hearing almost turned into
an argument between. Engineer
Payton and Attorney Kohler on the
possibilities of general sewer 10
Rock river, large enough to drain
all territory in the southwest par!
of the city. Mr.. Payton CONTENDER
that such system would be imam
cially impossible. Attorney k.ohler
demanded that the beginner pre-
pare a plan for some sewerage sys-
TEN to take care of the south water
shed territory. Directors contend
ed that paving without sewage ia
cilities will do more harm than
good. They were unanimous in de-
claring that given a sewer they Will
not oppose paving.
