ditor, City Controller Robert H. Bry-
son announced today following a con-
ference he and Corporation Counsel Sam
uel Ashby had with Jesse Eschbach, chief
examiner of the state board Of accounts
Mr. Bryson said the chief examiner
expressed the same opinion on the eff
feet of provisions of the much changed
state tax law as city officials hold
namely:
That the law provides that the
budget and tax rate must both be
presented to the council so that ten
days notice by publication of both
may be given property owners for
public hearing.
Since the tax rate can not be deter
mined until the new certihcation OF
values is received presentation of the
budget must wait the action OF the
county auditor.

would call on the auditor late today.

Gen. AlvaredO Hints at Finan.
cial Aid From u. S.

NEW YORK. Aug .11.-Mexico with the
aid OF the United States viii make as
tonishing strides" during the next ten
years, Gen. Salvador Alvaredo, secretary
OF the Mexican treasury. declared today
In an address at a luncheon of the Pan
American division, Associated Advertising
Clubs OF the World, here.
Seventy five per cent OF Mexico's total
revenues heretofore have been expended
for military purposes, he said, but now
the army is being cut down and rebels
are laying down their arms, so this
money can be used for building schools,
railways. docks and for general improve
meut OF the nation.
This work could be more easily and
rapidly DONE" he said, IF the govern
ment had funds available to pay of a
larger number Of soldiers and at the same
time to resume works already started as
well as undertaking new ones.
Then the military forces of the coun-
try would be turning into laboring
squads to build dams and canals for ir-
rigation. to do useful and peaceful work.
This money would be an actual, doubly
profitable Investment"

OWNERS FIGHT
REMOVING JOG
Say Would Be Dangerous and
Charge Utilities Influence.

Residents of North Illinois street in
the vicinity Of Sixteenth came before the
board Of public works today to protest
against the condemnation of property at
the southeast corner of the intersection
and the widening of Illinois street so as
to eliminate what the board considers
dangerous jog
The conference disclosed that the resi-
dents who were objectlng do not believe
the intersection to be dangerous and
that they oppose the change for the fol-
lowing reasons:
1. Strengthening of Illinois street
would cause motorists going north and
south to drive faster than they do now,
and hence cause more collisions with We
hicles going esat and west in Sixteenth
street.
2 Some property owners believe that
the board wants to eliminate the jog so
as 70 take the present sharp curves out
OF the street car track, thus making IL
possible for interurban cars from north
ern points to be routed In Illinois street
While it is not so stated. it is under
stood they object to interurbans tra-
versing Illinois street because the spe-
cial session of the state legislature
passed a law permitting traction lines to
haul live stock through residential dis
tricts.
The objectors, through their attorney
filed a plea in abatement. in which It is
contended that the board Of works has
no right to condemn property for the
purpose Of widening q street.
PLEA REFERRED
TO CITY COUNCIL.
The board referred this plea TO Cor
poration Counsel Samuel Ashby and con-
tinued the hearing for two weeks 10 give
zhiH-tine to-prePsre anaoPtnion on it -
1t is cOntended in the plea, which is
one which the board has not been con
fronteG with heretofore. that the stat
utes expressly provide that the board has
the power to condemn property TO
change" a street, and also expressly pro-
vide that the city council has the power
to order a street "widened.'
Legal authorities are quoted to prove
that the word change" includes only
such alterations in a street as involve
the relocation of the identical pavement,

OPEN LETTER
TO the COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

To the COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Sirs-Your evident intention to
build an asphalt road to Mayor
Jewett's hog farm is not without its
advantages.
The wear and tear on the new au-
tomobile that the city Illegally pur-
chased for the mayors private use
will doubtless be reduced by the
road improvement and thus the city
taxpayers will benefit.
Then, too, it must not be forgot
ten that you county officials are de-
pending on the Jewett machine to
elect your ticket this fall and for
that reason ought to treat the mayor
right.
But for the sake of the county
treasury, do not spend as much
money on labor as you did when you
built Lewis Georges road for him.
The payroll on this job ought to be
considerably less than the material
costs. esskfAfW
