Darkly flaming, she slammed the door behind her, and stood, venomous glances darting from one to the other, to fasten at last on Bristow. His anger was white hot, did his best to control it. “Let me remind you, Miss Copley,"” fcily severe, “that you should be on duty elsewhere. You'll take my orders now, and return to your post.” “Oh, indeed?" she flaunted her sneers. “I wonder what the Alder- man will have to say to that?" He looked at her, a cat-like gleam in his narrowed eyes. “I think the Alderman will prob- ably have a good deal to say when he learns that it is you who are re- sponsible for his plans going wild, T have discovered—"drawing slightly to tantalize her—"1 have just dis- covered how Juarez Charlie got his tip that Miss Ranger was in this nitarium.” ou have?"

Paoncssa favors a re- peal of the state statute which re- quires property owners ‘o file a list of their taxable properties in the month of October, becausze he feels that taxpayers are unnecessarily in- convenienced since the present assess. ment system follows every realty transaction and construction job. Re- peal of the statute would also save much work in the assessors office where 12,000 lists must be prepared and sworn to in 27 working days. The mayor is desirous of conferring with other mayors and with assessors throughout the state relative to the proposal repeal.
