NE w PAR KING PLAN ON NORTH FIRST AVE.
 TO START ON MONDAY

Public demand has brought about another modification in the congest- ed district parking system, this time on North First avenue. Beginning Monday, a new parking scheme viii be tried in this busy retail section, Police Chief George O. Brisbois an- nounced yesterday.
 Hereafter cars will be permitted to head in at the curbings and the plan of parking in mid-street will be abandoned altogether. The plan calls for parking at an angle of 45 degrees.
 No double parking will be permit ted, the new plan being instituted primarily to do away with that evil. Under the present system, double parking has been generally practiced along the avenue, and especially in the heavy retail district, until it has become necessary to detail extra traf- fife officers to the avenue to keep traffic moving, Chief Brisbois de- clared.
 The new plan will be given a thor ough trial, the police chief said. and will be effective between Washington ! and Van Buren streets. Stalls will De painted on the pavement, beginning Monday The plan may eventually | business district if it proves a Jig | success.

CLEANING CAPITOL
 IF THE FLOOD MUD
 PROVES SLOW TASK

The task of cleaning the basement of the capitol building after the flood is an Augean Stables job, muchemore difficult than it seemed to be before it was discovered how the mud had been carried into every crevice. The ceiling is also covered with mud.
 It was being flooded with clean wa ter yesterday to take up the mud that remained after the pumping That too will have to be pumped out and perhaps that operation will have to be repeated several times before cleanliness is fully established.
 There will have to be a good deal of other overhauling there, repairs to the walls and the doors. All the doors leading from those parts nearer the areaways were locked at the time of the flood and they were torn away by the weight of 1t as the water, caugnt in the angle between the west and north wings, poured in cataracts down the openings.
 In response to the letter from Pri- vate Secretary Behoteguy to the heads of the various departments asking them for estimates of their losses, only one estimate has been made up; that of Ben Ferguson, en- gineer for the corporation commits sicn. He places the loss, that is, the tangible loss, of his department. con sisting mostly of damage to instru- ments, at s250.

 TAXES DUE SEPT. [

The first installment of the taxes for 1921-22 will be due on Labor day. September 5, the first Monday in the month, Vernon s. Wright, county treasurer said yesterday, and will become delinquent on Nov. at D. m. As Labor day is a holiday, the office Of the treasurer will be closed. but will be open on Tuesday, Sept. 6. to receive tax payments. Many calls have been received at his office. MT. Wright said. asking when the first half of the taxes will be due.
 The clerks in the office of the board of supervisors are nov engaged in placing on the rolls th amount of taxes to be paid by each taxpayer. T. w. Benson, clerk of the board, in charge of the work, said yesterday, that the tax rolls will be turned over to the county treasurer on Saturday night. Sept. 3.
 Refusal of the tax commission as a i board of tax equalization to allow the full amount of reductions made by the board of supervisors in the as- sessed valuations of irrigated lands, city lots and various kinds of live stock, has made it necessary to change the assessed valuations or the rolls. Even with this additional work, the rolls will be finished on time, MT. Benson said.

Us. CENTER HERE OF
 P|TH HELMET TRADE

It is not generally known in Phoe- nix but pretty we'll disseminated out side, that this town is the center of the pith helmet industry in the United States. Vic Hanny is the dis tributor to the country at large and has been so for several years. He is the largest importer in the country of the helmets of the Orient.
 For Is years he has been carrying an advertisement in the Christian Science Monitor and, naturally, it-has brought him a great deal of business from widely separated regions.
 Yesterday he received a photo graph from a Rotarian friend. of the traffic squad of Davenport. Ia. On the back was written, How Daven- port, Iowa. uses your helmets. The regular traffic squad plus the com missioner-the man with the grouch." The man with the grouch had no helmet and that is probably why he put on a grouch.
 The Davenport force is said to be the most effective traffic squad in the country. In that is a suggestion that the Phoenix squad be supplied with helmets.
