THE EXISTING LOCAL TAX RATE REMAINS THE SAME III 1913

Owing to the City's Financial Condition Appropriations Had to Be Sliced Most Vigorously. (Continued from Page One) heating system are in bad condition. The new boiler for the laundry is of sufficient size to supply the entire hospital system, if connected with the old boiler system. This connection would cost $1,000. The judgment of the hospital board in paying $750 per year for a bookkeeper was questioned. It was the sense of council that this expense could be reduced by having a bookkeeper work about two hours a day. As To Charity Patients. The question of the county sharing the expense of the charity patients the county sends to the hospital was discussed. It developed that Councilman Bartel, chairman of a committee to meet with the county commissioners and perfect an arrangement whereby the county would assist the city in supporting the hospital, "forgot" about the duty assigned him until last evening. The committee will take this matter up agafa. Dr. Zimmerman made sensational charges against doctors who he said take patients to the hospital when they do not need to go, so that the doctors may not have to visit their patients at their homes in out of the way sections of the county. He suggested as a remedy that doctors be made to go surety to a certain amount for the bills their patients contract at the hospital. More vigorous collecting of bills due the hospital from patients was also advised by the meeting. The Police Budget. The police budget came up next. ( After a discussion of the merits of the department, in which the force wos given commendation by all the officials present, the question of raising the pay of the policemen came up. Council decided this increase, while not asked for by the police, could not be given by the city at this time. After a discussion, it was decided to allow Chief Gormon $700 for his red light signal system. The remainder of the appropriation was practically the same as last year with the expeptlon of the feed for the patrof horse, which was raised from $75 to $150 per year. The police budget Is $20,150. The miscellaneous fund -was sliced from $535 to $300. ; The question of the payment of $24,000 on bonds due on street improvements, and for which there Is no appropriation, came up next. City controller McMahan was in favor of taking up the entire issue next year. It was decided that the city could not afford to do this at this time, and it was decided to call in $8,000 worth of the bonds. McMahan stated, however, that If all the issue came due in 1913, the city would have to take it up, and, if necessary, borrow the money to do so. This is the sum previous administrations neglected to provide for. The bonds wera issued for street improvements. The cash paid in was thrown Into the general fund and spent. No provision for the payment of the bonds "was made. Cost For Election. The city election next year will cost the city about $1,500 and the registration of voters this year will cost, exclusive of -printing and supplies, about $2,500. To cover the cost of all this expenditure, $4,000 was appropriated. The cost of the printing for registering and supplies for the same, will amount to about $1,000. it is expected. This will hrve to be met when the bill comes due. The park appropriation came next. It was finally decided to allow $6,635 for this department. Supt. Hollarn stated the labor bill of $4,000 last year "would have to be increased at least $500 next year to take care of the new West Side park and other parks. The miscellaneous park fund was made -$1475, band concerts $150, and repairs ,to the boat house and pavilion $250. A new alligator cage is to cost $75. The boat house is in dangerous condition and when the lake is drained this . fall, cement supports for the structure may be substituted for the old wooden piling. The Chautauqua fund is available for this. Street Improvements. The question of permanent improvements came up next. Counv.il was allowed to decide which streets it desired to be bricked next .year. A to H streets, and North Third street, from Main to the north end of the C. & O. depot. The year following the city will attempt to widen the north end of North Third street and to brick the remaining section of the street. The "vehicle tax will be applied to the bricking of North Third street South Eighth street will cost the city about $6,000. North Third will take $3,000 out of the vehicle tax. Main street from Fourth to the river will be bricked in 1914. Sheridan street will probably be bricked the same year. The city's share of expense for the "Reeveston sewer system, which will bo about $5,000 of the total cost of $30,000, was included in the budget, as Teas also $1,000 for cement sidewalks, curbs and gutters on North Sixteenth street, from Main to E streets. Other improvements brought this sum up to within th limit ' According to the tax duplicate prepared by County Auditor Bowman, the taxable property in Richmond is $15,(13,960. The mortgage exemptions mount to $524,450, leaving a net total of $15,389,510. Of this total sum the railways and telegraph lines are valued at $584,230.The city by making the pax rate $1.10 per hundred may raise Bt50.585.36, which, with the $24,000 nought in by the poll tax, vehicle tax.

"A FEW YEARS OLDER

We Are, of Course, Perfectly Sure that We Never Change, but Are Surprised at the Inroads Time Makes on Our Contemporaries.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "A few years older Ah, how much colder Wo could behold her For whom we sighed." Thus Byron. Byron has been denounced, or was denounced, as fickle and inconstant. When the truth is that he was merely frank. Byron was not, indeed, half the "bad man" he was painted by a smug, hypocritical and immoral public. He was, rather, the possessor of a sort of fierce and resentful loyalty. Treated badly when a child, he became morose, suspicious and afraid to pin his faith to any-one although Inclined to passionate affection. His loves were not so numerous as they were conspicuous. Conspicuous through the fact of his celebrity. Byron was scornful, too, of the conventions of his day. A day of intellectual pretense and sham piosity, of timorous shudderings and fearful tremors over any expose of natural inclination. Byron, was, in short, a man. No better, no worse than the rest of 'em. For they're all alike. No difference in kind only of degree. He wrote the above verse in a spirit of flippancy. But it embodied a truth as farreaching as the universe. For it illustrates the effect of the ebb and flow of time ox. the human entity. It is, as has been said before here perhaps, the aesthetic aspects of youth which are its fascination. And it is this that constitutes its holding power in nine cases out of ten. When color begins to fade and countours disappear, when rounded flesh commences to sag and the hair loses its lustre, ardour pales. This is a law of nature which men and women refuse to recognize. They purposely close their eyes and refuse to see it. They know its true. That its a spectre constantly lurking in the background but they put up a bluff and talk of character and virtue and "true worth" and loyalty and neverchanging love and all the rest. Byron voiced a sentiment known to the masculine world. , The majority of men are domesticated through habit and inertia. They're like the animals in circuses. They get so accustomed to their cages that you can't drive them out. But prod them long enough to arouse them to a sense of injury or pain and they will come outside. The minute they scent freedom, however, all is lost. Off they charge to their native jungle and then, once the latter swallows them,- no circus cage ever knows them again. For the iron-bound tent is not their natural habitat. a) "Are you talking about lions or men?" growled the misanthrope "Don't you see I'm being metaphorical?" inquired the other person. "A few years older." Therein lies the tragedy of human life. Not only in its amatory phases but universally. You know how it is yourself. You've been away five or ten years, say. You return, either to live or visit. And you walk down street. You see very few people you know. Still there are some who have a vague, familiar look and who eye you curiously. You glance at them hesitatingly. They half pause. You stop. Why it is it isn't it is, Tom Daily you used to go to school markets, privileges sold, and other sundries, gives the city about $175,000 for the year. Various Appropriations. The final figures prepared for the various departments are as follows: Finance (salaries of mayor, council, city officers, etc.) $10,085.58, a reduction of $300 from the figures for 1912. Law, $1,400, same as 1912 estimate. Public works, $2,300. Same, except a reduction of $200 in the advertising appropriation and $100 less for miscellaneous. Public buildings, $1,850.

Sewers, streets and alleys, payroll cut from $31,000 to $25,000, and the city's share in street and' alleys improvements cut from $27,400 to $10,000 Engineering, $3,850. One hundred dollars was cut from the miscellaneous fund, $50 from the office expense, and $250 fro mthe rodmen's expense. Markets, $920. One hundred was taken from the miscellaneous fund. Fire department, $41,960. The payroll $22,460 and the water rent, $16,000, remain the same. The miscellaneous fund was cut from $2,650 to $2,000. and the feed bill raised from $700 to $1,500. Crematory, $7,770. The miscellaneous fund was cut from $900 to $500. Health and Charities, $6,505.

The miscellaneous fund was cut from $535 to $300, $700 appropriated for the red light signal system, and the feed for the patrol horse raised from $75 to $150. City courts, $270. the same as for 112. The total expenditures for the various departments will be $172,965.53.

with. Old Tom! Only when he was "old Tom" he was extremely young Tom. Did you ever notice, by the way, that at college reunions you will ind all the youngsters slapping e;.ch other on the back and calling each other "old man" while the oldsters will hail one another with "how are you old boy?" Yes, it's Tom. But not the Tom you used to know a Tom that is strongly reminiscent of Tom's father as you remember the latter. Tom fat, and bald and shiny-faced, trousers bagging at the knees and collar slightly soiled at the corners. You make a pretense of being glad to see him. . But its a ghastly farce. You don't know this man. He's a stranger to you. He invites you down to the house to meet his wife and children and says you must come and have a meal with them now name the day well any way drop in if you're passing awfully glad to see you back old town looks very much the same people don't change, of course but I'd hardly have known you you have a look of your father when we were at college together shouldn't have stopped if you hadn't made the first move well er And you hastily chop him off in the conversational middle and walk down street mopping your brow. Why he said to you exactly what you were thinking about him! It isn't possible that you have changed that much! You knbw that everybody else has changed but you are perfectly positive you look just the same. Just then you glance at a show window and see the mirrored reflection of a well groomed gentleman tending toward middle age and slightly afflicted with embonpoint, somewhat grizzled about the temples. , And you recognize for the Irst time, yourself. It is a hideous moment. You stroll Into the hotel lobby and consult the time table. You believe, after all, you'll run over to anywhere You find the old town bores you. Nothing doing here everybody dead or married. "Or old!" whispers the fiend in your ear. And you flee for your life. For you know the only thing that has sustained you thus far is the realization, the firm conviction, that while others might change, you were ever the same ever young and fine and fair. "A few years older." Herein lies the motive power that drives toward the divorce court. That blackens lives, soils reputation, breaks hearts. That eats like a worm at the core of social intercourse. That turns beauty into ugliness. That metamorphoses exalted sentiment. And touches every life with a sardonic melancholy. It is the thing which nullifies the sacredness of the institution upon which modern society is founded. For marriage presupposes a fixity of feeling which is not divine nor human. Which tries to lasso and handcuff something as elusive as the vapor hovering at the 'horizon before the dawn. For "a few years older" we regard very "much colder" not only "she for whom we sighed" but every conscious thing in the universe. HOLD REUNION HERE Eighty-fourth Indiana Meet Sept. 19-20.

ONE YEAR ENOUGH Less than one year of married life was enough for Thomas McAvoy, according to a divorce complaint filed this morning in the Wayne circuit court. The plaintiff in the suit is Nellie McAvoy, who charges her husband with abandonment and failure to provide. They were married April 25, 190S, and the defendant left her, ?he alleges, In March, 1909. The plaintiff also asks the custody of - their one child, Edith Beryl McAvoy. aged four. TO WHITE'S INSTITUTE Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, probation officer, left this monJng for White's institute, where she will place the four small Graham children.

CATHOLIC PRELATES

ARE III ATTE All Catholicism Interested in Eucharistic International Congress. VIENNA, Sept. 10.

This is an annual gathering of Catholic prelates from all parts of the world and is designed to celebrate the holy eucharist and to seek the best means of spreading its knowledge throughout the world. Vienna has never before had the honor of entertaining the gathering since it assured its present worldwide character. Two years ago the congress assembled in Montreal, the cseeting being the first held in the western world. Last year's congress met in Madrid. The cardinal-delegate sent by the Pope to attend the congress arrived in Vienna today and met with an enthusiastic reception. Scores of other noted prelates, from England are due to reach Vienna within the next day or two. Nearly all of the principal streets and squares of the city are decorated in honor of the occasion. The formal opening of the congress is fixed for Thursday, which will be the anniversary of the day on which King Sobiesky, in 1683, having taken the Holy Communion, moved his troops towards Vienna for the memorable battle in which the Turks were conquered. The sessions of the congress are to be held in the Ausserer-Burgflatz, which is conveniently located in the heart of the city. The gathering will conclude on Sunday with a great procession in celebration of the feast of the Name of Mary, which was specially established in memory of the liberation of Vienna from the power of the Musselman.

FIRST OfJTS KIND In U. S. Is New Polish Preparatory School. (National Newa Association) CAMBRIDGE SPRINGS, Pa., Sept. 10. The National Polish Preparatory Academy, the first national school in America intended solely for the education of young Polish-Americans, was opened to the reception of students today. The new institution is a project of the National Polish Alliance, which has 80,000 members among the leading Polish citizens of the United States. The school opens with students enrolled from New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan and several other States.

Sporting Gossip Marsans continues to lead the Cincinnati Reds in batting. The Cuban has developed into a polished player this season. Daubert and Wheat are playing the regular brand for Brooklyn, and stand well up among the select in the batting averages. Ban Johnson says that Eddie Foster, of the Washington team, is the best baseman in the American League. Pitcher William Jensen, of the New Haven team, one of the stars of the Connecticut League, has been sold to the Detroit Tigers. It is said that Pittsburg will send either King Cole or Eddie Warner to Columbus in part payment for Pitchers Sisle,r and Cooper. The pitching staff of the Giants is pretty wobbly at times and will have to take a brace if the McGrawites expect to cop the big series. The Highlanders have been velvet carpeted stairs for the Red Sox this season. The Sox have won 16 of the 17 games played with the Yanks. Not satisfied with putting the Senators out of the pennant hunt the Atlethlcs walloped Walter Johnson for good measure, during the last visit to Washington. Lppa Rixey is pitching great ball for the Quakers, and several National League teams are hoping that Eppa's family will hurry up and kidnap him. If the White Sox and the Cubs play a series for the Chicago City championship this Fall, it's dollars to goobers that the Sox will not take four straight as they did last year. The National Commission has decided that the team which buys a player from another team must pay the salary of the player during the time he is on his way to join his new club. Joe Wood has hit for an average of .288 in 36 games. Ford of New York, and Gregg, of Cleveland, are the only box artists in the American League that have anything on Joe in stick work. Pitcher Woodburn, of the Cardinals, Is a ventriloquist. -Until the Cards got wise, Woodburn was gathering their goats with ease. He would sit in the clubhouse and abuse his mates and they would go outside looking for the fellow to lick him. Just like regular champs, the Boston Red Sox have started to buy diamonds. Charley Hall has purchased a pure white stone weighing nearly 2 carats, and "Duffy" Lewis is wearing a bunch of rocks In his cravat that would make Harry Mclntyre back up. WITH THE BOXERS. Jack (Twin) Sullivan would like a return bout with Jim Stewart, the New York heavyweight Young Jack O'Brien, the Quaker lightweight, and Young Brown, of New York, have been matched " for a ten-round bout at New York, Seut 18. Al Wambgans, of New Orleans, who won the National 135-pound amateur boxing championship in Boston last April, has decided to enter the professional ranks.

With nearly' C.500 guardians of the country's money, representing banking wealth of more than $15,000,000,000 present, the 38th annual convention of the American Bankers association opened today in the Detroit opera house. The gathering, which President William Livingston, of this city called to order, was one of the biggest and most important in the history of the organisation. Many of the delegates came with resolutions for reforms in the American banking system and the monetary system of the nation. However, all the resolutions were not confined to these two topics, as William R. Creer. of Cleveland, is fathering a proposition to have the convention go on record in favor of universal penny postage. Even before the convention got under way delegates from various cities had launched campaigns to get the 1913 convention. Boston is one of the most aggressive seekers of the meeting next year. One hundred bankers from the Hub city are here working hard for votes in favor of the New England metropolis. A movement to revise the association's constitution was launched by A. J. Frame, who argued that there is a monopoly of officialdom and that ten officials and committeemen have held all the association's prominent offices in the past ten years.

RAIL COMMISSION SLAPS TRACTIDllS Tells Interurban People to .Get Busy with the Block Signal Systems. (National Kiwi Association) INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 10. A liber,al supply of ginger was Injected Into jthe movement to have block signal eystems installed on the Interurban Unes of Indiana by the state railroad commission today. Judrinr from the attitude of many of the representatives of the road who gathered for a conference there Is no particular enthusiasm for block signals and the commission proceeded to assert Its authority. Chairman Wood announced that circulars would Immediately be sent to all traction companies asking for Information concerning their Hnet on which the commission may base an opinion as to the need of block signals and the conditions under which they shall be installed. Judge Wood made It plain that the commission Is growing Impatient at the dilatory attitude assumed by most of the traction lines. He said It would be an economical move for most of the roads to install signal systems and told them they would have to hurry if all the lines are equipped with block sclgnals by July 1. 1913, as the law requires. President Todd of the T. H. I. & E. informed the commission that It was the Intention of his company to Install 29 miles of signals next year If those now in operation prove - successful. Judge McCluro of the commission estimated that It would require ten years to completely equip the T. H. I. E. at that rate. Most of the Interurban men contended that they should not be required to install block systems until a satisfactory one has been devised.
