Mayor Goes To Raleigh To Amend City Charter Provision Which Makes It Mandutan I'pon l)ii<tlies Commission to Assess Sewerage (lo-t on Property Owners Disliked l?v Present City Administration Th'at provision of the Cltv Char- . ter which tuak<>8 It mandatory up on the rtitllties Commission i'? assess the cost of the present sew erage system acquired by the ci'v and of the complete new f.ystem which the city Ik planning to es tablish against abut tin;: properly owners Is so repugnant to th? present city administration that at a called meeting of the Council Wednesday afternoon it wan de * elded to send Mayor Goodwin ??? ^ Raleigh In a last effort to secur ? ) an amendment whereby, ut th-* discretion of the I'tllitles Commis sion, the city as a whole instend of the abutting properly ownei* , will bear this coat. The Idea of charging the cost of the city's sewerage system up to property owners waa favored by Senator 1*. H. Wllliniiis when he was a member of the City Council, and he It was who em bodied that Idea In the present charter. He is so wedded to the plan. In the belief of some of his friends here, that nothing short of an overwhelming expression of popular opinion would persuade him to permit the amendment pro posed by the present administra tion to pass. Mayor Goodwin, then. In his mission to Raleigh upon which h departed Wednesday night would seem to be leading a forlorn hope unless Senator Williams and Rep resentative Wilson should l?e bombarded today with telegrams In a sufficient number to persuade them that the enlightened senti ment of the city is strongly against the charter in its present form. It was on February 7 that the. City Council In called session vot ed unanimously for an amend ment to the charter changing the word "shall" to the word "iuay"l In that section which provides for j the assessment of the cost of sew erage against abutting property owners. The present admlnist ra tion, In other word*, would not take from" the Utilities Commln i slon the power to assess cost ? f * sewerage against abutting prop- 1 erty owners; but would leave the exercise of that power up to the | discretion of the commission. This amendment wus promptly sent to Representative* Wilson on the. date of its adoption by the Coun cil; but It was not until this week that the Council received from j Mr. Wilson a substitute amend ment which. In the opinion members of the City Council. ! strengthens the existing provision ( of "the charter Instead of embody ing the suggestion made by the | City Council. The assessment of the cost of sewerage against abutting proper ty owners, as now provided In the | City Charter, would amount to practical confiscation In some lu-j stances. In the opinion of mem ber! of the Ctty Council. For In stance, here are several block k ? owned by a widow of limited means on an undeveloped stre-t ? with only one residence on the . entire property. To have to pay ? one half the cost of the sewer on that street within a period of Ave i years, as the charter now pro- , vldes. would mean that this widow would have to give up her prop erty. Again, there are certain streets, an for Instance Pearl, on which the plana of Engineer Olst n call for the laying of cast iron pipe for sewerage, an extremely expensive typn of construction. Then again, there Is West Church street extended, one sldo of which Is within end the other side with out city limits. Under the f existing charter the property own ers on that side of Church street i within the city limits would have to pay the entire cost of sewer age for that street. Finally. ! riroperty owners occupying corner ots would be taxed with half the! cost of sewerage on two sides of their prcy>erty. It Is estimated that the cost of' the sewer system, contemplated under the plans of City Engineer, Olsen will cost In excess of $300. 000. The question Is Wffether abutting property owners are to have to bear the entire burden of this cost'npon their shoulders or whether It Is to be assumed by the entire body of tax payers, a.< Is the esse In the matter of water and electric lights.

It was admitted from the begin- j nlng that th?? evidence against the ! defendants was or a purely cir cumataiKlal and somewhat flimsy* character. The charge crew out 1 of the mysterious death of Her man I'Yntrchs, ::<) -year-old Knotts I ?'?and farmer, who was found dead shout ly after an allied al- j tercatlon with the defendants at bl.? lie. me on Sunday right.

No markM of vlelence were found on his body except a slight abrasion of the skull, though I there was a report that a post 1 | niort"i'i examination had shown a slight fracture of the skull. Since ; the evidence before the grand Jury was not made public. It Is ! ? impossible to verify these reports, j The probabilities, since the Jury did not And a true bill, would I , serin to favor the conclusion that ? i Fentress came to his death by an 1 attack of apoplexy or by some oth-j j er natural cause and that If there was ? fracture of the akull it was j I caused by the head striking some > | hard object in falling or else by | I the crude hack saw which Is said ( to have been used In making the j post mortem examination. Early llal'ance was defendant j with O. A. Honney in another case' t Involving liquor In .which both men were charged with partici pating In an affray and flallance was accused of assault with dead ly weapon. In this case there seemed to be hardly any question that a fight occurred and that In the course of the fight Hallance used p knife on Honney, Inflicting serious bodily harm. Apparently lb- only way to ex cuse Ttal la nee would have been to And that he acted In self defense, and In that ease Honney would necessarily have been the aggres sor. A Currituck Jury, however, found both defendants not guilty, probably because the Jurors wore unable to agree as to who stsrted the fleht. The flcht occurred In 1923 and the recollection of most of the witnesses seemed to have Brown hazy as to Its d< talis. i PARIS WEARS 'EM ABOVE THE KNEES New York. March 15. ?

LAWRENCE STREET SOON BE W IDENED A Mother Improvement I/iiik I'lonwl Get* tiMler Way l'n der I'll)1 .Maiuiiccr Perctoeo Work on the widening of Law-' ! rcnce street, so an to ellminato the blind corner at its intersec tion with Road nnd bo as to make I>awreuce an extension of Ehrlng hau*. can be begun in 30 or 60 days, In the opiniou of City Mali nger Fercbee. Adjustment has at length been reached with all the property owners affected, and the S. S. Davit Btorc. comer Lawrence and Road is now being moved. Thus gets under way under the administration of City Manager Ferebee another Improvement the need of which had long been keenly felt and discussed but to ward which real progress prior to Mr. Fen-bee's administration, had been painfully slow. With Lawrence street opened and with both Lawrence and Ehringhaus paved to the latter's intersection! with the State Highway to Hert-' ford, it is believed that a new wholesale nnd warehouse section would be developed on East Lawrence and Front streets whtle residence development could be looked for on Ehringhaus street extended which still hears the, designation "Rum Road." given it for obvious reasons in the days of the open saloon. ?Provision for the pavement by the County of the Rum Road section of Ehringhaus. which in beyond the city limits to a width , of nine feet, is made in a bill in troduced in this session of the1 General Assembly .by Represen tative Wilson. provided that : there are sufficient funds left front the new road bond issue of $:?50,000 authorized under another bill introduced by Mr. Wilson, and provided further I that abutting property owners will agree to pay the additional sum necoasary to pave the road to a width of sixteen feet. It is represented that Mr. Wilson esti mates there will be enough bond money left to complete the work; but it is feared that it will be dlf-j fieult to secure the consent of: abutting property owners to be ing taxed ^for seven sixteenths of j the cost of paving a sixteen foot, road. The amount assessed against property owners would something like 912,000, which would be a low valuation to put on the improvement of the prop erty of the road, in the opinion of City Manager. *1 METHODIST BISHOP DIES AT MEMPHIS Memphis, .March 5.*-tilshop!
