The wants of the petitioners were first cared for and permission was granted Sawyer Paton to move a safe from over the Wright store to the new opera house building. The complaint of Mrs. Stanton, an old colored woman, that a proposea ditch would run much storm water in upon her place and practically ruin it: was referred to the improvement committee with instructions to report at the next beeting. W.

X. Banks, on behalf of the school board, asked that steps be taken to provide a sewer outlet for the building in Bloom's addition. The contractor. 1 he said, is about ready to put engines and other machinery in the basement and this will be ruined unless the basement is drained. A resolution was adopted ordering the work started and the engineer was instructed to prepare plans and specifications, same to be ready at next meeting.

H. L. Tice was granted permission to place a pair of scales in the street on South Eighteenth. The request of Clarence Serantoi, and others for permission tr. attach to the sewer in Xinth street instead of having th'j sewer in the rear of their properties lowered, was again brought up.

After hearing what the city engineer had to say on the subject it was voted to deny the request and the engineer was told to proceed with the lowering of the sewere in question. Petitions for sidewalks in South Side Heights contiguous to the hospital developed the fact that a vast amount of grading might be involved and the matter was deferred until the engineer can establish grades out there, so that the councilmen mav know where thev are "at." The matter of extending the storm sewer on Xinth street which the city engineer estimates will cost a total of $5,400.50, was laid over until the next regular meeting. Petitions for sidewalks in Chaney's addition were laid over under the rules. Petition for a walk along the west side of out lot 28 was also laid over. In regard to the remonstrance of the taxpayers on Xinth and Sycamore against paving, the city attorney was given more time in which to investigate.

Millikin of the finance committee, re ported that he had been offered 98 cents on the dollar with the accrued interest for the Tenth street paving bonds. Explaining the low market in bonds he said that the Frisco fire had taken two hundred and fifty million dollars of insurance money oil the market and it was hard to dispose of securities of this character. This offer he referred to proved to be the best before the council and he was instructed to accept it. Millikin said he would close the deal this morning and it is supposed that the long suffering contractor has at last received his pay. Bush, of the improvement committee, was instructed to purchase such tile as the street commissioner might need, and this time to bin- the galvanized tile manufactured at Emporia, experience having proved that it is far superior to the clay variety.

A request from property owners on the west side of North Penn. avenue for a sidewalk line developed the fact that at this end the street alongside Johnson's addition is 118 feet wide and the people up there would like to have the city relinquish claim to this extra ground and make the crooked way straight. The engineer was ordered to investigate and report. The city attorney was instructed to prepare a resolution providing for walks clear through to Oak street on Xortb Penn. avenue.

Mr. Huffman's request for water service out on Sycamore between Tenth and Eleventh, was referred to the water superintendent and city attorney. The city engineer reported that there had been too much excavation by the Union Traction company on West Myrtle, and the mayor said the company should be requested to restore the street to its original grade. The request of the Independence Asphalt Rubber company for permission to use some of its filler on the new brick paving was ch-er fully granted, provided it costs the city nothing. The report the city engineer on the Bush sewer was accepted and the improvement committee instructed to ascertain the expense involved in running around a few icks or in secur-.

ing right of way and guinr through some lots. The walk from the Nation il Supply company's store to Xinth street was ordered made the full width as was also the walk on the opposite side of the street. The mayor and city clerk were instructed to draw warrants for the payment of the contractor who did the work on Fourth street, it having been impossible to sell the bonds. The contractor has been out of money all this time, which is a discouraging ex pc licence. Bills were then allowed and at 11:30 everybody went home.

BAZAAR AND SUPPER. The ladies of the Christian church are arranging to open a bazaar on March 6, in the building just north of the Star bakery, on Xorth Penn. ave- nue. They will also serve dinner and supper, and everything good to eaf will be on hand. Your patronage will be appreciated.

Emma Joralemon filed a petition with the district clerk today, asking for a divorce from her husband, William Joralemon and the restoration of her maiden name. The petition states that the couple were married in Independence December, 18S9. The husband, the applicant for divorce alleges, was a horse trader.

He took her about the country, con-tinually moving from plaee to place and living in a tent or covered wagon. He brought all sorts of persons of the lower classes to the wagon or tent and made his wife associate with them. He got drunk frequently and often beat her, thereby destroying their maritial happiness and all love she had. ever bourne him. For this cruelty and for non-support she asks a divorce.

Iola Register Thinks Allen County As-ssssors Should Get in Line. The Iola Register has been sitting up night worrying over the assessment problem, and thus voices its woes: Assessors in three counties that have come to the attention of the Register this morning through last night's newspapers do not agree with the assessors of Allen county that CO per cent of the personal property valuation should be deducted before the constitutional exemption of is subtracted.

The question came up in many Kansas counties yesterday, as it did in Allen conn-ty and if those in other parts of the state followed the example of the counties in this vicinity practically all of the must have decided on the new method of figuring the constitutional exemption. As stated in the Register vesterdav the Allen county assessors decided to follow the old practice in this matter which results in no personal property, taxes at all for married men. entitled to the constitutional exemption of 8200. if they own worth of property or less. In the past the assessors have deducted the 200 constitutional exemption in these cases, and then instead of figuring out the assessed valuation by taking forty per cent of the remainder, have used the amount of personal property returned before deducting the constitutional exemption.

This of course, leaves nothing to assess. If, for example, a married man owns worth of personal property, and $200 eonsti. tutional exemption is deducted, $300 is left. If the assessor proceeds theri to deduct an additional 60 per cent from the original total of $500. instead of the $300 left after constitutional exemption is deducted, nothing is left, as 60 per cent of $.500 is $300.

This is the method which has been pursued by the assessors here, and to continue which they voted yesterday. In Montgomery, Franklin and Bourbon counties, the assessors decided the other way. The Evening Star prints the news. 1 at p. except Saturday.
