There are other attractive acces sories for an out door living room, some of which, are almost indispen sable. They include chairs, tables and benches, so treated that they are practically weather proof. Some times there is room enough for a vine covered arbor or summer house, I and a pergola adds much to the charm of the spot if it is so constru cted that it makes a path or leads from one location to another. It is well to remember, though, that a pergola is not to be considered a substitute for a summer house and set up anywhere on the lawn. Real Privacy.

Another vast improvement on the east side of College street is the re modeled building to accommodate entially at least, that those who "enacted" the Revaluation Act have been attempting to. "suppress dis cussion," of it. I - assume that this charge is aimed, ih part at least, at Senator iCurrin and myself as we served in the legislature at the. time this Act was passed. For myself I will be obliged to him if he will in dicate in what way I have attemept ed to "suppress discussion" of this or any other measure. I have not engaged in any such effort, and I do not know of any one else who I has done so.. I I voted for the Revaluation Act, I' or rather I gave it my approval, j since as I was speaker and every member of the House who was pres ent voted for it, my actually voting was not necessary. I have no apol ogies to make for that action. The Constitution of this State provides that all property shall be taxed "according to its true value in mon ey." The Constitution is the su preme law of the , State. No legis lator who regards his oath could vote for any kind of lav, that pro vided for the taxation of property at one-third or one-half or any other proportionate part of its real value rather than "its true vaiue in mou ev." 'Every tax law passed within my recollection required , the assessment and taxation of property on this Das is. The Revaluation Act is not alone in this particular.

Reid 'is correct Tho law gives one the right to kill pestifer ous birds of the barn' yard but it does not. say anything about putting "them in the pot."
