CONTRACT
BRIDGE
Washington D e
rURDAY, OCTOBER 81. 1855
BY EASILY BLACKWOOD

MOSL players would reach the
obvious four-spade contract in
today's deal. regardless of what
bidding system they use. How
ever to illustrate the dynamic
point count method, here is how
Mrs Keen and Mr.. Abel valued
their hands.

The bidding:
South West North East
IA Pass "a Pass
- All pass
First, in dynamic point count
three points equal one trick. For
his opening bid Mr.. Abel had 10
points OF siX-plus tricks. He
counted II points in high cards,
one point for the f1ve-card length
of his spade suit and one promo
ton point in spades. Promotion
points are given for the massing
of honors in long suit.
Mrs. Keen had nine points,
just enough for a single raise.
There were nine points in high
cards in her hand and while she
could count one point for the
doubleton diamond, the dynamic
point count method calls for a
deduction of one point where a
single raise is given with as few
as three trumps.
Revealing his hand after his
partners raise, Mr.. Abel had q
holding now worth 81 points OF
q full seven tricks. Assured of a
good fit in spades, he was en-
titled to add one point for that
feature and one point for his
diamond doubleton. Thus his
jump to four spades was auto
matte.
The six of clubs was opened
and Mr.. Abel proceeded to muff
the play by failing to count his
winners. He won with the ace of
clubs over Mr.. Dale's queen and
took three rounds of trumps,
ending on the board.
He was quite right to start the
hearts next. but his choice of
cards was faulty. He led the
queen from dummy and flnessed
1t. Mr.. Champion won with the
king and returned the five Of
diamonds, which was taken with
dummy's ace.
Only now did Mr.. Abel see his
predicament. He was left with
the ace and ten Of hearts. With
no entry to dummy outside OF
that suit. the only chance of
winning three heart tricks now
lay in finding the opposing
hearts equally divided. Mr.. Abel
deserved no such break and as
you see he didn't get it. He ended
up losing a heart. diamond and
two clubs.
The best heart play at trick
five was a small one to the ten,
If the ten won 1t should have
been followed with the ace and
then the four. This would win
four heart tricks If Mr.. Dale had
the king doubleton. If the ten
lost. three heart tricks-and the
contract-were still assured.

Council Notes

$7,000 to date. The committee re- ported that to be on the safe side two mills should be set aside for the water system maintenance, repair, and payments. It was pointed out that at the present time the amount collected in tax es is not the amount shown on tax rolls, because of delinquent payments. It was proposed that a certain amount be set aside for city street improvement that extra money will be needed for fire lighting equipment and that a possible five mill increase will be necessary to cope with expenses expected in the coming year.
 One council member suggest ed that increase not be so high this year. Other members dis agreed, pointing out that if it isn't put on this year, another in crease will have to be added next year. "At the present time we are going backward" Financially, a Council member pointed out. We have got to have property tax in the City of Palmer. Even though, he poined out. "it will be a jolt financially at this time, it would be bigger jolt to lose ones home because of inadequate fire fighting equipment-inade- quate water system or lack Of water. This is going to cost a lot of us money we can't afford" i, another stated" but some day we will be able to look back and realize that it was the Wisest thing to do".
 A recess was called during the meeting at which time the Coun- cil met as Board of Equaliza- tion and by motion accepted the tax roll, as amended May 8. A few tax assessment protests which were lodged with the City were adjusted.
 Reconvening, the meeting con- tinued as City Council meeting (Continued on Page 5l
