Why Kino?
People frequently ask why It Is
necessury to have n king in it dem

answer has been Riven to mo by
personages In many pa its of the
empire, and it Is in substance this:
U in nut England alone which Is
concerned, but a commonwealth of
many nations flung about (he
globe, a heterogenous population of
hundreds of millions, comprising
almost eery mce uml creed under

this way whlmslcully:
"We prluccH are lfi shillings in

Since thero are 20 shillings in a

Thus the now king will have to
struggle not only with (hose prob

The council also agreed to
"crack the whip." as Mayor Charles
Clark termed the action, on prop
erty owners who nre delinquent in
puvment of city liens.
it was pointed out thnt ninny
property owners .financially nbl
to nay delinquent assessments, are
railing to do so.
The city recorder and treasurer
were Instructed to compile a detail
ed list of all such delinquencies.
It is planned to employ a collector
to Interview each property owner
nnd to require a contract to pay
the amount of delinquencies, or
foreclosure will be instituted.
Where property owners do not de
sire to pay the liens, foeling that
the value of the property does not
warrant payment, they will be ask
ed to give the city a quitclaim
deed, thereby wiving the cost of
foreclosure.
Several cities. It Is reported,
have put this plan Into prnctice
recently with excellent results and
hnve denned up a large amount of
delinquencies nnd hnve placed prac
tical iv ail assessments on a con
tract basis which will result In con
tinued payments until the delin
quencies nre retired.

lights. The power cable of the
downtown lighting system gave
way recently and plunged the bus!
ness Ht reels into darkness. The
matter of putting bracket lights on
one side of the street only met with
many objections from owners of
business property, the committee
reiKirted.
The council accepted the commit
tee's report and adopted the sug
gestion that in the future when re
pairs are made that the cable
should be put in conduits, eliminat
ing the necessity of cutting pave
ments to make cable changes.
A petition for sidewalk construc

A petition for a fire hydrant at

DEATH ENDS REIGN
OF KING GEORGE V
(Continued rrora page I)
slognn, "the' king Is dead! Long
live the king!" the standard al
ways flies at full staff, signifying
thnt the British empire Is never
without a ruler.
Prince Flies to London
The former Prince of Wales,
now Britain's Tlrst "flying king.",
left Snndringbam house by auto
mobile with the Duke of York
for the Ilercham, Newton, airdrome
a few miles away, where they took
their plane for 1 -on don.
The new monarch piloted the
private ship himself as the first in
novation of his reign.
The lute King George, four days
after he contracted a sudden Ill
ness succumbed to complications
nrislug from a severe cold, bron
chial catarrh nnd a heart weakness
a burden too heavy for the frail
form to hear.
Steeling themselves for the dou
ble ordeal of burying the dead
king and proclaiming the new sov
ereign. Queen Mary and her chil
dren wept and prayed over King
George's bier as the empire of
450,000,000 subjects waited to do
him homage.
After comforting his mother,
Queen Mary, in their hour or grief,
the 41-year-old Prince of Wales
conferred with court officials this
morning before hastening to Lon
don to be acclaimed King Edward
VIII.
From high and low, from all
parts of the earth, came messages
of condolence. Broadcasts were
discontinued, and london crowds
were hushed.
The body of the late monarch
will be removed to Loudon, to lie
In state, probably In Westminster
hall.
ntennent will take place at
Windsor, just west of Iondon on
the Thames, and sent of one of the
traditional royal residences.
To Rest Beside Father
King George probably will go to
his last resting place In a vault
there beside the bodies of his fath
er. King Edward VII, Charles 1
and Henry VIII.
Here in Norfolk, near the bleak
coast 100 miles northeast of Lon
don, (he neighbor-subjects mourn

Elsewhere In the empire. It was
King George's devotion to duty,
which inspired the British peo
ple through (he long, dreary days
of their greatest war and sul
quent depression, wthch wns sorely
tiissed In these days of interna
tional tenseness.
The sovereign, declining gradu
ally for days, passed on to a
peaceful end, unconscious In his
lust moments.

throne as "the snllor king"; he left
It is "the democrntlc king." ,
Unassuming to the point of shy
ness, devout and faithful in relig
ion, hard-working, devoted tn his
children and home life, and with a I
dignity relieved by the twinkle In
his eyes, be typified the qualities
which his subjects held bigtient.
Unlike many lirltish kings,
George V did not begin training in
childhood for occupancy of the
throne. He was the second son of
Edward VII and was 26 years old
when be became heir to the crown
on the death of his elder brother,
Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence.
Meanwhile, George hud embark
ed upon a naval career which kept
him almost constantly at Bea from
the time be was 12 and which had
carried bim from cadctship to the
rank of commander by the time of
his brother's death. Thereafter his
duties as heir apparent precluded
exclusive devotion to the navy
though, within two years after his
futher became King Jvd.ward VII,
successive promotions brought him i
rank of vice admiral.
When he succeeded to the throne
Mav 6. 1910. at the age of 44, the
empire had a sovereign unique for
his first-hand acquaintance with
the world and the dominions be
was called to ruie.
Sets Personal Example In War
When the war cast its shallow i
over Europe, King George made
every effort to prevent the out-
break, addressing personal appeals
to the emperors of Russia and Ger
many.
When these failed and his own
country was plunged into the con
flict, ne Issued a proclamation mo
bilizing the British army and an
nounced an unwavering determina
tion to fight until victorious.
The ruler ond his family set
themselves to lending the royal in
fluence and encouragement to
every form of national activity in
aid of the fighting forces. Strict
economy measures were put in
force in the royal household.
The king paid repeated visits to
his troops in Belgium and France; :
in 1917 he stripped German titles ;
and names from the royal family i
and changed the name of the rul-
lng house from that of Suxe-Co-burg-Got
ha to Windsor. i
Post-war years brought home
rule to Ireland, a larger share in I
self-government to India as well j
as steps towards her independence,
and the significant development of
the British commonwealth of na
tions with the crown as the chief
link of the empire.
Illness Endangers Life
But the country ns a whole held
firm to the respect it had alwayB
shown to the king and the political
crisis passed to be succeeded by u
greater crisis, his serious illness.
This started in November, 192S,
when a chill believed to have been i
caught on Armistice Sunday, when ;
he stood bareheaded in the rain
luring the ceremony at the Ceno-
taph, developed Into fever ami !
some congestion of one lung.
In December counsellors of state !
were appointed; an operation was '
performed to drain the right side
of the king's chest. Back on his
