Utica in q Fix,

Some time ago bill was filed by A. T
Griffin and others In the Circuit Court &c
restrain the county clerk from extending
the village tax In Utica. The bill alleged
that the tax levy was void, not having been
made according to law; that the apprepri-
alton ordinance and levying ordinance
were passed the same night; that the ap'
preparation ordinance did not specify the
amounts for which appropriations were
made. . .......4 ..., .
The case came up for hearing before
Judge Stipp on Saturday. Hall & Haskins
argued the question for the plaintiffs and
Moloney and Stead for the defendants.
The Judge finally made an Injunction re-
straining the clerk from extending the tax.
This leaves Utica with an empty treas.
ury and no money to defray the expenses
of the village during the remainder Of the
fiscal year. The trustees will either have
to furnish money to pay the expenses them.
selves or else will be compelled to license
saloons as means of raising funds. Our
eastern suburb has continually been In
trouble since the prohibition board went
into Office. There have been fights, drunk.
enness, lawsuits by the hundred, and other
small troubles during the cold water reign,

will be prohibition town next year-she

Of TIE CIlCAtO q NOHIHWESIEkN.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen: had the
pleasure Of handing your chairman this
morning some comparisons of the interstate
rates between Chicago and the more prOmi-
nent points on our system in Iowa. did
not select them all. Two of them, think,
are competitive points, and the other three
or four are what would be called non-com-
petitive points. l could have selected more
but find the number l had decided upon
and they were taken at random as to the
other StatiOns-fOrmed quite as large a sheet
as would be convenient for example. 1t will
be noticed that the hektograph sheet gives
in detail the reductions that have been made
i'm the rates from 1871 to 1883 in periods.
The others cOndense that information into
commodities. l did not take the entire
classification list, but took the more prom
inent articles that / thought the people of
Iowa would be interested in knowing about,
showing reductions in car loads and
in less quantities both. The third
sheet shows the reductions on a
ear load lots only. | make these
comparisons, Mr.. Chairman, because when
it came to my notice that the question of re-
duction of rates in Iowa was to be again con-
sidered, it seemed to me, that the people of
Iowa were quite so much interested in the
Interstate rates, or in the reductions that
had taken place in the Interstate rates, that
they would certainly have great bearing on
what they might decide to do with the local
rates. / take this view of the matter because
in the fall, cannot now give the exact date
of the letter, but if any Of the State Board
Of Commissioners were present they could
| give me the date-we received a cOmmuni-
| cation, in common with other Iowa lines,
| suggesting division of the Iowa local rates
| in the State, with view to the reduction,
and stating, | think, in plain terms
| cannot quote the language-that If these
! reductions were made to conform to the in
ter-Staie rates between Chicago and points in
| Iowa, that they would be considered as a
satisfactory reduction, or a step in the right
| direction. j do not know that / am war
ranted in saying that the letter stated ii
| would be entirely satisfactory, but that is
| what the commission assumed. l think il
| will be owned that the reduction in Iowa To-
| cal rates made by the roads in the State
| about the Goth of December, were based on
the Interstate rates for the same instance

Eastern legislators, to leave the fare where
it is-three cents, allow competitive travel
to be taken by all, and, as a rule, this con-
tinues every day; give the fares scope for
accommodating large bodies of men. That
form is followed out in Great Britain and ON
the Continent OF course these fares are
different on account of caste. Four cents
for first-class, three cents for second-class,
and lwo cents for third-class. That allows
margin for moving great masses of people
ON special occasions.
Member Do / understand you to say
that the average earnings of your system of
road on freight, was nine-tenths?
Mr.. Wicker: Ninety-nine one hundredths
of a cent per ton per mile.
Member: What does Mr.. Poor give in his
manual?
Mr.. Wicker: don't know how much he
gives. In this month / think there was an
increase in gross earnings.
Member: We have got an impression, few
of us, that seven-eighths of a cent pays the
business and keeps up the road.
Mr.. Wicker: 1t does not do it as road
should be kept up.
Member: A good many people want to
know why there has been such scarcity of
cars On the Northwestern road.
Mr.. Wicker: l don't know that L can
explain that altogether. i think perhaps 1t
is owing to two or three causes. In the first
place the spring wheat crop in this country
was unusually delayed in moving, 1t laid
long while in the shock and moved some
thirty days later in our experience tGan it
usually does and ABOUT that time came a
squirt in the corn market that took all the old
corn into the market, or directly after that
should say, and it was an unusual state of
things. A demand both at once for new
wheat and old corn, and we could not supply
the demand 1t Is possible our people have
not calculated close enough in getting roll
ling stock for all the extentions on west of
here; perhaps the tonnage has exceeded
their expectations. But they will do better.
We have been very hard pressed, and think
these perhaps are the reasons.
