An adjourned meeting of the Council

Martin, Bachman, Harvey, Dickson,
White, Marks, Jennette, Reder, and Gull

its second reading. The hack ordinance
which provides for making owners Of
such vehicles responsible for the acts Of
their drivers was laid on the table. This
was done on the motion Of Councilman
Foley. The vote among the members
was a tie vote. but the president cast his
In favor of tabliug.
The tax ordinance from the other board
was then taken up and read by the clerk,
who managed to get through 1t In the
COURSE of half an hour. At the conclu-
sion OF the reading motion was made to
refer It back to the Ordinance Commit
tee.
Before the vote was taken Mayor John
son addressed the Council In favor Of the
proposed ordinance. he said there was
no us0 in attempting to hesd of the ordi-
nance; il there were any Objectionable fea-
lures in 1t they could be notified, but the
ordinance or something like 1t they should
have or there would not be government
It WaH drawn up In strict conformity with
thela'R. It was true, hitherto they had been
collecting taxes Illegally and now they
were compelled to have law covering
all the ground before they could fix tsx
on tho realty of the city. 1t was found
that this year the assessment In the city
was only on twenty-five million dollars.
Last year 1t was twenty-five million dol
lars. It was q misfortune to have to bear
the heavy taxes which are imposed on
property. He himself had II pay heavy
taxes on realty which did no bring him
cent, while he drew fifteen Per cent
dividend on his stocks. He hoped the
ordin ance would pass.
Various suggestions were made as to
disposition of the ordinance, among which
were to refer to g committee of three, to
refer back to the Ordinance Committee, to
DO put on its first reading, amid which
there appeared to be an unexplicable con-
fusion until the chair brought down his
gsvel and restored order.
Tho bill was finally passed on Its first
reading, by vote of twelve to three.
Councilman Robbins then moved q sus-
pension of the rules for the purpose of
passing the ordinance on its second read
ing, The vote standing for suspendirg
the rules nine against six, the motion was
lost.
The ordinance was then referred to
comrnittee of the whole, to meet Monday
night.

last night, asking the privilege to erect

ment, providing that the company charge
