SOLONS ASSEMBLE.
In REGULAR SESSION LAST NIGHT
TAX BOOKS ACCEPTED AND OR
DERED KEPT OPEN FOR PAY
MENT OF TAXES UNTIL
MAY 3IsT.

The city council met in regular
session last night with the follow
ing present; Livingston. Pittman,
Waterman, Smith and Carmichael.
Il was fully one hour after the
regular time for meeting before a
sufficient number were present TO
form a quorum. The reading of
the minutes by the clerk was fol-
lowed by the regular order of bust
ness as follows:
Mr.. Norcross of the electric
light company addressed the coun-
Gil IN reference to the light ques-
ton. He urged that all possible
haste be used in closing contract
for light. He had some needed re-
pairs to make in the works that
would improve the lights but they
could not make the outlay unless a
contract was closed with the city.
After a few remarks from Mr..
Smith the matter was laid over un-
til next meeting.
w. P. Haisley asked permission
to oereet pigeon house within the
fire limits. After some explana-
tory remarks the request was grant
ed.
A petition signed by quite a
number of citizsns asking fer a
special cow ordinance was on mo-
tion referred to judiciary commit
tee.
The citizens residing on south
lime street asked that said street be
graded and paved. On motion of
Smith it was referred to street
committee.
The petition of Courtney and
Palfreeman asking for permission
to keep market stalls open on Sun
day mornings from q to O'clock
was unanimously refused
A bill of S7.75 was read from
John Vareen asking for damages
to his wagon on account of be-
ing run into by fire departme Mt
wagon. Some of the members
were very much in favor of making
the driver of the fire wa 5on pay
the bill as they claimed that the
collision was owing entirely to his
negligence. The matter was re-
ferred to the finance committee.
The tax books as presented and
prepared by clerk Blake was ex-
amined and on motion of Smith
were accepted and duly signed by
all members present. The clerk
was authorized to begin at once,
the collection of city taxes and
keep the books open until May 3Ist.
The reports of the officers for
the month of February were re.
ceived and filed.
The Union club matter was
brought up and consider ed to some
extent. Smith made a statement
of his personal investigation. He
gave it as his opinion that the
club was not at present violating
the license law. He stated that
the club members for the past two
years bought their liquor and divi
ded it up among themselves and
each one being provided with a
private locker kept it there until
used. The report was accepted
and committee discharged.
The light and water committee
reported in favor cf changing the
locations ef some Of the arc lights

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
THE STAR ASKS THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS TO CONS DER
THE COUNTY PRINTING IN
LIKE MANNER TO THE
OCALA CITY COUNC l.,
AND THEREBY SAVE
THE TAX PAYERS
OVER THoUS.
AND DOLLARS.

OVER ONE THOUS-
AND DOLLARS.
The appointment Of a new
board of county commissioners Of
tkis county is still the leading
topic of conversation among the
tax payers. It now appears that
the great issue in the contest is
the giving OF the contract fer the
county printing to the Ocala Ban
ner without so much as consider
ing the proposition of other ecu :
ty papers. Mr.. Mcleod, in his
letter of acceptance, published in
the Mail aud Express In is issue
of March 6, say: The Banner
has done the county work for
years; 1t is looked upon as the
leading county paper; she has had
the so-called pull in the past and
to favor her now would only be a
continuation of the same pull"
He mentions no other iss, in his
entire letter. He was recemmend-
cd for the position by the chair
man of the executive com mittee
who is proprietor of the b. nner,
and in order 10 recipro cate he says
the Banner shall have the Iull.
The county printing, or rather
the advertising of the delinquent
tax sale list, comes every year and
costs the taxpayers from 81, 500 to
$1,000 The Banner has been
monopolizing this work at full
rates, 40 cents Per line, for nearly
if not quite fifteen years and the
editor, while preaching in his pa
per all the time against trusts ard
monopolies, is at the same time
creating and fostering ore of the
greatest moncpolies ever known
in this county.
The Ocala city council at their
meeting last month realizing this
monopoly and hardship on the
taxpayers, proceeded in a bust
ness like way to break it up. They
at once asked all the county pa
pers for bids on the work. The
Banner with other papers at once
cut the price dowa just one-hsH
and were glad to get it at that
price, thereby saving the city tax
payers just one-half of the sdver-
tislng bill.
The county commissioners owe
it to the tax payers to take ,imi-
lar view of the matter and 60 at it
in business-like manner and
demonstrate that they are work
ing for the interests of the people
they represent. The Star voices
nine-tenths of the people in de-
manding such action, feeling Ger
tain that such methods by our
commissioner will be the means
of uprooting these Jobs and pulls.
Realizing the importance of re-
lieving the overburdened tax-pay-
ers of Marion county at this slime
Of retrenchment and reform, the
Star submits to the county COM
m:ssioners the following bonafde
proposition:
We will publish the list of tax
sales Of Marion county during the
present year according to law and
in a workman'ike manner at the
same price the Banrer agreed to
publish the city tax sales, viz: 20
cents per line or just one-half the
price heretofore paid. We will
also give good and sufficient bond
for the faithful performance of
said work.
If the county commissioners
are willing to consider favorably
such a proposition as the above in
like manner to the Ocala city
council, they can save the tax-pay-
ers of Marion county from $1,000
to $1,000. Can they afford to jg-

asks his opinion on the above as
well as that of all me mbeIs of the
board.
