The Committee of Fifteen is trying
to make some arrangement that will
prevent hackmen from robbi1g the peo-
pie who attend the Festival by over
charges.
Walter Noble offered a resolution in
structing the police commissioners to
enforce the ordinance which says that
cents for each trip He wants the
hackmen to keep a copy of the ordi-
nance posted in their hacks.
The resolution was passed. "Some
hackmen,' said Major T. ]. Anderson,
made from $40 to $40 day and they
do not contribute cent to the Festi-
val You can't get money out of hack
men. I understand that last year they
charged all kinds of prices and think
we owe it to the people who come here
to see that they shall not be robbed"
Major Anderson offered a resolution
making a charge of so cents for each
time a hack or other conveyance carry
ing passengers enters the fair grounds
during the Festival.
A. w. Dana said the resolution might
result in people being taxed extra to
have their trunks and baggage taken
into the grounds.
President Fellows said that he knew
of one party at Wamego making ar
rangements to come to Topeka and live
in tents. He said that in such cases
they would be compelled to pay this
extra license.
I'm other words the tax comes out of
the consumer said r. H. Brigham.
Major Anderson explained that his
resolution was simply aimed at con-
Veyances carrying passengers.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on privileges.
1t was agreed that a charge of 25
cents per team be made for people who
drive into the fair grounds. This was
done to reduce the number of teams
which enter the grounds as there is al
ways more or less trouble when teams
are on the grounds. Under the rules
the charge will be made at all times on
teams regardless of the number of oc-
cupantS of the carriages.
A resolution was passed placing the
Pompier display on Tuesday evening
After this display there will be an In
dian dance and everyone but f1remen
will be charged admission. The Pom
pier exhibition on seven story build
ing will take place on the quarter
stretch just in front of the grand stand.
The committee was informed that the
Commercial club had granted the use
of it's rooms to entertain Kansas edi-
tors during the Fall Festival. A liberal
appropriation was made to be used in
making the Kansas newspaper men feel
at home. r. H. Faxon will be in charge
of the headquarters.
]. Y. Niles told the committee that
the use of crude petroleum would prove
effectual in keeping down the dust on
the streets. The matter was referred
to committee for investigation
The secretary was instructed to exc
cute the contract and bond for the priv
ileges before next Monday.
