TO TAX TELEGRAPH POLES.
The recent decision of the Supreme Court Of
the United States in the case of the city of st.
Louis justifying the action of the CITY councils
in taxing telegraph and teiephoue poles has
been regarded with special interest here. and
last night bill was introduced at the monthly
session of the board OF aldermen relating to
the taxation Of poles in Frederick. The matter
will be further discussed and considered by the
board before final action Is taken, but it is the
general belief that the decision of the Supreme
Court applies well to Frederick as it does to
ST. Louis. Efforts were made here several
years ago to pass bill imposing municipal
taxes upon telegraph and telephone com panies
for poles and wires. but it failed of passage at
the time. not having the backing of a Supreme
Court opinion.

during the coming spring and summer il very
bright. and a number of new residences will be

eighteen of these, and the demand is now be-
coming very active. The location OF success
full new industries here has ma terially added to
the population. and in consequence the de-
mand for comfortable dwellings is now greater
than ever before.
