BICYCLE TAX INVALID.
Judge Tuley Says tho New Cbicsgs Ordnance
u Unconstitutional

CHICAGO, Aug. Judge Tuley, Chief JUS
tice Of the Circuit Court, has decided that the
bicycle license ordinance recently passed by
the City Council is invalid. The decision WAS
made on the ground that the regulation meant
q double taxation on wheels, and was, there
fore. unconstitutional. The Court, however. nm
hold ono section OF the ordinance, which pro-
vides that vehicles, regardless OF class, must
carry lights at night. Although this point
was not specifically brought out In the de-
cision. his Honor expressed a verbal opinion
that the city was clothed with the power IN
enforce the feature OF the ordinance relating TO
The main point upon which the tax feature
Of the mea9ure was defeated was that the fee
demanded by the city was a tax under the Ruisa
Of . license, and that its imposition meant
double taxation. His Honor held that the
city und or tho law had only The right 70 license
a business or'occupatlon, such as that OF an ex-
pressman. or a hack driver. but had no right
10 tax personal property, and that was what
the ordinance sought to do.
He declared the power ITO regulate the use
OF the streets can only be held To authorize
police regulations that may DO noce ssary-such
as speed. turning to the right, passing inter
sections. and cannot DO hello TO authorize a tax
or license to use that which Is free TO the public
Of tho entire state"
Another reason given was that the tax was
not imposed according 10 value, as required by
the Constitution and the city charter. The

LONDON, Aug. THE French. German, and

these incidents into great events, but public

that tho result will be that the triple and dual

however. by such papers as the Cologne @
