Iioard, with enthusiastic assistance from the audi ence, vntered Into an' oratorical . con ; test Thursday night that lasted from 8:.'W until 10:15 o'cloek.v There were . n few spectators present, but they couldn't touch bottom in tlie board's sea of verbosity. The introduction of a new-subject served only to 'bring on . new and heated discussions, and per son who were present at the nieetinir were dazzled by the- itonrd s dispiay or Ungual pyrotechnics. - The subjects under Are ranged from water ' barriers to political harriers, and arguments were presented by per- soiuj ranging in importance from relig ion leadership to political advisers U was a democratic gathering of sub ject, i A gathering of the worth while and the worthless In a pot-pourri of sadness. At times the members of the board 1 themselves hardly knew what subject was under discussion, but each seemed determined to have his say and tlu conclusion to he drawn, from the spectators' standpoint, was ineluctable and not. at all pleasing. The board, on the eve Of its retire ment from public life, showed a dispo sition to accomplish soma of the things started several years ago, and the old - matter of cement sidewalks was again brought forward. We cnll this an old matter, for the records show that ccr- . tain sidcwnlks of this city, which are artll characterized' by' their depth of mud in rnluy weather and variety of boles In good weather, were ordered paved Ave years ago.' others were or dered paved In Iditt and so far nothing has dwR doner Tftenra wmwO'r 'A thnMiiuiiii, inminiiin it,,., innnnimnii dal sli-e to accomplish this work, and took certain steps to carry out lis desire.; When this matter was brought to the attention of the board It received a bid from two, Chji riot temqn to pave . tlie sidewalks of die city nail to also ' pave. the. stretch of road Just beyond the Locke Mills. In the course of his talk to the board one of the men took occasion to praise the board for Its , ha rmonlous work, its . careful survey - of all details and Its business-like man ner of doing things. ' The members of 1 the board are not susceptible of overly gullible, past records show; but they gave tola flatterer their strictest atten tion, beamed under the panegyrics of this bidder and showed that the pop ularity they, have received as public servants has not rendered them imper vious to the shafts of the gods of flat tery. ''','." After lengthy discussions, some argu ments and much searching of past min utes, the board moved to bold another meeting on the night of March 21, at . which t-tlmo It. "'will receive bids for the instruction of cement sidewalks on both sides of MeGlll and West Cor bin streets, as laid out In an ordinance passed In July, 1010. " It la probable, though not at all certain, that the mat ter of laying cement sidewalks ou otltr er streets of the city, will bo left to the board chosen in the May election. This board Is desirous of getting cred it for the work, but since It la certain that the nine miles of paved sidewalks cannot be finished by May 3rd, the board may be satisfied with the comple tion of the two street named above. The two men from Charlotte . were ready to make tbelr bids at the meet ing, but the board deemed it advisable to get other bids, and so the called meeting is to be-Advertised and Hie : bids received at that time. . The street committee was ordered to Investigate the claim of the Kerr Street Methodist Church for 'a water barrier across the Church property, the barrier to keep ' water from Kerr street from running under the Church and on the parsonage porch..

THE ASSESSMENT OF THE CANNON MILLS Statement Frem General Auditor and lost Arcountant Halstead. Editor Times and Tribune: Dear Sir: In a report of the hearing of the ("a harms County Board before the Stale Tax Commission In Haleigh on Febru ary 20th, it was stated in the Kannap oils Star thnt the Cannon Mills had neon appraised at n lower basis than the other mills. As a matter of fact the same basis wns employed In assess- ing the Cannon Mills as wns used in all the cotton mills in fourteen other. counties, and this was so stated by the state cxtiert appraiser, Mr. Prentis. The. basic rnten which were used by Mr. Prentis iff all this appraisals, of -iMum .nuns, were ... rcspcriivroy. u.u, I2.00, nnd $.10.00 a spii.ltle for a mill spinning coarse, medium, or line yarns. wit li an extra xiL'.rsi a spindle for a mill wenvins clolh. These rates were stnndai'dixcil by the Stale Tax Com mission and in no Instance were these rales departed from in assessing Can non Mills. Instead of S15.00 a spindle as report ed for Franklin Mills, actually $3o.00 wns the basis used; instead of $28.00 for the Cannon Manufacturing Coin pay, actually $47.00 a spindle was charged. The report given in the Kau napolis Star would make It appear that the Caunon Manufacturing Company was assessed on a lower basis than the other mills; there was no discrimina tion whatever as regards the rates us ed liecanse they were simply taken from a printed schedule in possession of the State's expert appraiser, which schedule had been uniformly employed In other counties.

' ROADS TO TAKE IT UP INDIVIDUALLY But Little Comment on. the I Proposed Action Comes ! From Labor Side. Must Come Before Labor Board. (By the Associate I're.) ("blcngo. March 11. Virtually all the larger western railroads today had swung into line In the policy started a .fe.w days ago by several eastern rail roads in faking steps to bring about reductions in wartime wage scale of unskilled employes. Reductions will lie urged, officials said, to keep the roads out of bankruptcy and enable them to eventually fo reduce traffic rates which arc said to he now "higher than the public can liear. At the same time came statements from officials of the Association of Railway Executives that, lower rates of pay for skilled workers probably would lie sought, after the wages for unskilled men had lieen settled. (Ine road, the Chicago Great Western, took the lead among the western lines in tlie matter of reductions, by announcing thnt It proposed a 20 per cent, decrease in the pay of every employe from the Presi dent down, with the exception, of train servh men. telegraph operators and unskilled men. The iy of unskilled workers would bo brought down to conform with the rate paid In other industries If possible. Conferences will lie held with the employes nt (K-lweln, In.. March l!)lb. About 9,000 men would lie affected.' It's proposed policy was similar to that announced several days ago by Pennsylvania lines. In every case the roads specified that they would seek lower wages in accordance with the provisions of the transportation act which provides that conferences must lie held with the em ployes and the matter brought before the labor board only when on agree ment could not lieTeachcd iu these con- CW 3KiV-r- " V-f 'Chicago. .March 11. Steps to bring about reductions In wages of skilled employee probably will be taken by many railroads throughout, tho coun try as soon us adjustments can he made in the pay of unskilled labor. acording to officials of the Association of Railway Executives. Such reluct ions, if made, will be handled individually, by the various roads in the same manner that present announcements of cut In pay for un skilled workers 'are now being made, it was said, with no attempt at con certed or simultaneous action by the railroads. - In line with -this policy, however, it became known that the Association at a meeting in New Haven. Conn., on March 4th, adopted a resolution that it was 'the sense of the meeting that reductions In the pay of skilled em ployees were not considered objec tionable by the executives. The matter was then referred to Individual roads. Officials of fhe Association today predicted that nnnoiint.-emcnt of read justment of the wage scale of skilled men similar to the-one made a few days ago by the Pennsylvania lines, soon would he forthcoming. From the labor side little comment came on the announcement of the proposed reduction In unskilled em ployees' wags. If. was said the mat ter would hnve :to come before the railway labor board, and the union's chief concern now wns to see . that the roads acted In accordance with the transportation act.. General Move to Cut Wartime Wage Scales. New York, March 11. A general move by the nation's railroads to cut the wartime wage scales, long forecast by rail officials, appears to be in full swing today.. Following the lead of several, lines which earlier had pro posed cuts, the New York Central and New York; New Haven & Hartford Railroads in the east, and virtually every railroad In the west, announced proposed reductions yesterday. Further statements from lines that have not yet announced proposed cuts were pre dicted today. Officials of various lines today were arranging conferences with employes in an effort to reach an agreement on the proposed reductions. The plans. as announced.' affect only, unskilled nnd semi-skilled labor.
