 As basic value for future assess ments, the committee has decided upon s1.7o0 per front foot for land coming within the limits mentioned above, No. 227 to No. 299 Main street.

CURRENT COMMENT
Dat TIa,,, - Ill
t Them in JAIL

There are two accounts of auto
mobile accidents on yesterday
alone in which the driver precipit-
ating the accident drove away from
the scene without making himself
known or helping his victim in any
way In one accident man was
killed while the other was of not so
serious character.
The contemplate character of a
man who will do injury to another
and then rush away to hide his
identity is almost beyond under
standing yet every state has its
quota of the ilk. Some states
have taken cognizance of the situa-
ton and have passed very strin-
gent laws governing the situation
50 that it is most unhealthy indeed
for driver to attempt to escape
the consequences of his reckless
driving. We hope that the next
legislature will pass a law provid-
ing nothing less than a substantial
jail sentence for men too cowardly
to stand their ground after causing
an accident.-Burlington News.
