L. Car- penter to No Avail. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. THORMONT, Md., April 16.—Declar- ing “I am not here to give justice, but to enforce the statute law,” Justice of |the Peace Prank L. Cady yesterday fined Donald L. Carpenter of Washing- ton $25 and costs for having in his possession one treut one-third of an inch under the legal size of 7 inches. Carpenter was arrested by Deputy Game Warden Benjamin F. Phebus April 6. When approached by the war- den, who asked Carpenter if he had had any luck, according to the testi- mony, the latter repled that he had caught about 25 trout, but had returned to the water all with the exception of one, and that this fish had swallowed the hook and was dying. Carpenter told the court he knew it was a little under the legal size, but that he thought it would be better to keep it than return it to the water, as it was sure to die. ‘Warden Phebus told the court that STAR, WASHINGTON, PRISONER SHOT IN RIOT DIES OF HEART FAILURE Clash at Caledonia Institution in North Carolina Brought Injury to 18.

However, it is under- stood that the city council has been working on the selection of a firm to make a scientific assessment of the city in conjunction with the three assessors and to report their findings to the as- sessors. As has previotsly been indicated, this matter of a scientific assessment has been under consideration by City Counel] for some time and several firms have presented their plans and costs. Among these firms are a Philadelphia concern and one with offices in Cleve- land. One of the plans presented is to map the cl% gbow'nphluuy. largely by air, but not thought that this will be a dopted. City Council feels that an assess- ment made on a scientific basis and checked against the figures compiled by the reguiar local assessors will be the fairest method for all concerned. They also expect this method to adjust assessed values on property in various parts of town, lowering some prop- erty where time has decreased values and possibly raising the amounts in new sections. Plan Generally Favored, The plan, which it is felt that eouncil will probably adopt, takes the highest priced business corner in the city, which would be King and Wash- | ington streets, and bases the assess- | ments proportionately on that value. Location and surrounding property | would regulate land values, while con- struction would also enter into valu- ation on improvements. The State requires that property be assessed every five years and the assess- ment is required this year. Due to the delay already experienced in getting the | work started, it is expected that it will go forward ng\edly from this time. The work has to completed by Septem- ber 1, 1930. If the’ plan of scientific assessment B‘ used in conjunction with the regular procedure, a new map of the city will be | drawn and coples placed on file in the clerk’s offce and the office of the city | engineer. A good part of the $20,000 | which it is understood the scientific as- | sessment would most would be used in making these maps. At the present time the city does not possess any up-to-date maps of real estate here and are regarded as necessary this year, espe- cially in view of the recently annexed territory. —_—— JAMES A.
