tickets are frequent. In tho cnss OF Mr.
FLOYD, who WAS elected from car and tried
before Justice souLnr for aiaor1lcrly
conduct, lo presented the entire ticket,
though cut In two parta. Tho
Justice decided TINT, rs the whole
ticket WIS presented, 1t cou1l not legally bo
disputed by tho Company, and ho discharged
A1r. FLofp. This caso Of nluti1ation was,
however, Of an exceptional olaaractcr; the
rule being only to present q fragment Of tho
ticket. The issue Of tickets at q reduced rato
per fare WAS voluntary oct on tho part Of
tho Company, which, we suppose, they can
withdraw or abandon at their pleasure, or to
which they cau add tho condition TINT,
"a tho ticket they sell Is not twenty
avo tickets, bnt one ticket good for
twenty-tiyo farea,, tho whole ticket must
10 presented each time, aud, il this con-
dition Is not legal, It practically reduces all
fares to tue rate Of the ticket systom. Where
thero ia purpose To commit fraud, Of
course this regulation or any other will bo
deliberately and willfully resisted on oyery
occasion; but We do not bolievo that any
considerable number of porsons have my
purpose to Violate the rule Of tho Company.
But multitndeB Of persons never hcard Of tho

wise, mutilato their tickets sometimes toar-
ing of md throwing away so much of thon

preventive Of quarrcls on this subject is to
have the condition that no mutilated tickets
will be recognized conspicaous1y posted in

Ths present fiscal year OF tlc City Of Chi.
eago began on the lat Of April, md tive
months Of tho yoar have nearly pnssod, The
estimates of tho various Departments have
been presented, and the subject has been BE-.
fore tho Committee On Finnnce, but no action
has been Ind as yet.
The question at iBsuo is, Will thu Common
Council make appropriations amounting to
$1,000, 600, ns advised BY the Boards. or
10000, as advised by tho Comptroller
There were 81. SOC. GOO of last yo,r,a an.
preparations unexpended at the beginning Of
tho present fiscal year. All this money ia to
DO reapproprinted, and the question now be.
fora the Finance Committee is, vhether that
COMMITTEE will report an ordinance appropri-
ating $7,oo0,00 In addition, or s., zoo, 600 in
addition. The question is one Of gzcat iu-
terest to tho people Of this city, It Is a
question whether the rate Of ta1 for city pur-
poses sha11 be IS or 81 mills. There is q dif-
ference OF 6 nilla on tho dollar-a liberal tax
in itself-bctwesn these two propositions,
involving nearly $4,000, 600 Of additional tar.
Last year the ratio Of tax was 18 mills. Tho
Comptroller's estimate calls for nearly tho
same amount of money lowed last year the
Boards estimate for VI, 900, 600 more, requir-
ing an tncreass Of tho rate of tax to "a mills.
To increase tho rate Of tax over TINT Of Inst
year is to threaten the property-ownera with
confiscation. These people hive, With great
difficulty, been rebuilding the city they arc
paying a1os on that rebuilt property, much
OF which Is "a yoe unproduotivo; to add %
