Even then there were members w.io had further matters' they deslr ed to press, but he would brook no interruption of his motion, and after the -speaker had announced the last of his committee assignments., the house adjourned. ' Speaker Oowd, in .announcing tiie last of his committees, nuked the members to overlook any niistnho or omission, pledging that ii was more difficult than usual this year to make the assignments because ot the high order of membership in the house, so as to give all member no places their nhllitios fitted them for.

G.Me- Rae, Wilmington Secretary and Treasurer 1 liomas D. Meares, Wilmington. One-' of '.-the -most significant o'mis- slons of the association was its fail- tire to endorse the Battle blU which years, regarding it with supreme lit is a general measure designed to per-' difference as a mere piece ol uii- mit cities of over 5,000 inhabltanls to adopt the commission form of gov ernment if the voters mav so decide. There were many grounds ot objection to the bill and these were urged bv those who in many eases favor such government. It was urged that the needs of various cities' were differ ent and that separate provision must necessarily be provided for each, junt as various forms ot charters are now found necessary. There was-objec tion to the salary limit as too small..' to the 'recall" feature, to the party primary plan of nomination, and in the end the association seemed to take the ground that the adoption ol this measure would practically des troy the chance of anv citv In the state getting a commission form ot government. Among other subjects discussed were the division of the road fund, by which towns and cities might get some returns in work on their streets for their payment toward the support of public highways. Several mem bers look an active part in the dis cussion of this subject, which was presented by M. L. Long, city attor ney of Laurinbtfrg. "Municipal. Taxation" was the sub ject of a paper by Mayor J. D. Mc Neill, of Fayetteville. who protested against the discriminatory provision of the laws which prohibit cities from taxing telephone, telegraph, and ex press companies doing business with in their limits. President Tate appointed the fol lowing legislative committee to look after matters betore the general as sembly affecting cities: J. D. Mc Neil, T. W. Hawkins, T. M. Plttman. M. L. John, T. L. Chlsholm, Walter Clark, Jr. President Tate and Sec retary Meares were added by resolu tion. ' The association, fcfter a stirring address by Dr. W. S. Rankin on "Mu nicipal Sanitation", endorsed the de mand of the state board of health for an increased appropriation of $25, 000.
