AN OUTRAGEOUS ORDINANCE.

The Council Committee on Licenses
has decided to recommend for passage
Aid. Martins ordinance taxing horses
and bicycles. 1t ought to be labeled "a
tax on industry
The rate Is as follows: One horse,
80: twO-hOrse team, IS; three.hOrse
team, $3.50; fOur-horse team, $40; six
horse team, $3.50; eight-hoHe team
or more, $15; bicycles, 81.
In support of his ordinance Aid. Mar
tin said:
upon Investigation we found Il
would entail too great an expense to
Oblige all owners of teams In the city
to change their tires and replace them
with wider one. Your subcommittee
then decided to license the horses and
attach a tag to them. The measure
provides that vehicles of all descrip.
lions shall carry lights at night. The
number In tho lamp will allow the po-
lice to trace the owner Of the vehicle
upon the books Of the city clerk should
It be necessary.
I'VE contemplated placing a small
tax upon all vehicles. There are 2OO.-
600 bicycles and 100000 teams in the
city. The revenue from the license fees
will amount to almost 81 ,O00,O 900 each
year. This Is more than all the rail.
roads entering the city pay into the city
during the same period. In all the
large cities In the country teams of all
descriptions are taxed. There Is no
valid reason why such tax should not
be imposed In this city. The money is
to be used under the direction OF the
Commissioner Of Public Works to re-
pair improved streets"

recently Incorporated with a capital Of
several million dollars by prominent
local business men. They will solicit
telephone subscribers. Manager H. j.
Hanford said recently:
I'VE expect to have our plant In Oper-
alton within eighteen months. The
system will be different from the one
now In St. Louis. 1t will be necessary
only to take the receiver from the hook
and call the number wanted. The mere
act of taking the receiver from the hook
calls the central office. The rates Of the
Kinloch Company will be: Sixty dol
lars year for business houses, $50 foi
physicians and $50 for private resi-
dences." Chicago business men have
paid tribute to the telephone trust long
enough. The burning question of the
hour is will the Legislature do Its duty
and pass a bill this session that will
regulate the telephone trust and afford
relief to the l0ng-sufferlng public?
The Illinois State Bar Association
will endeavOr to have a bill passed ia
consolidate the State Supreme Court
and have the sittings continuously at
the State capital. Mr.. Louis Karcher
the well-known lawyer, talked of fol
City Attorney next spring, explained
that the bill was the expression Of uni
versal opinion among the lawyers that
the 0ld-time system of having the court
held at three different places should be
abandoned.
Hon. Daniel ID. Healy, the able and
Woodworking President of the COun-

scandal In the Recorders office. 1t pro-
vides that all fees shall be turned over

law the Recorder. Coroner, County
Treasurer, Sheriff and other officers
pay salaries out Of the fees and only
account for the balance.
Thelunacy bill would relieve counties
Of all charge Of lunatics and place the
burden ON the State. 1t provides for a
board of lunacy commissioners to pass
on cases.
Lyman u. Cooley, Is at Springfield as
the representative of both the Valley
Protective Association and the Drain
age Commissioners. 1t Is said that he
Is specially paid and deputized by Pres

up In the Legislature with pretty
huge scheme for the conversion of the
drainage canal into ship canal, as per
original plans, deepening the Chicago
intake, increasing the flow to the requi-
site $4,000 cubic feet per minute, with
swing bridges, and other things insist
ed upon by the valley association.

Is necessary to insure the defeat Of any

property in the northeastern port OF

flowed with water. He also states
