PRIOR is HAPPY.
Extra $4,000 Now
In Sight For
Streets.
ST. RAILWAY TAX.
No Plans Yet As To How
the Money Will Be
Used.

The fund available for the construc-
tino and maintenance of streets is TO
be augmented by some $4,000 through
the operation of a law which went INTO
operation last October and by the terms
of which the street railway lines oper-
ating within the city are obliged to pay
a tax upon their total number of shares
and their business in excess of a six
per cent dividend.
Yesterday City Treasurer White re-
oeived a notice from the state tax COM
missioner to the effect that the amount
which has been allotted as Worcesters
share was S17.T454. BY the terms of
the statute this sum must be expended
in the rs -nieLance, construction or re-
pail!ng of streets within the city. The
act roVides that street railway COM
panies shall file with the tax commits
siCner a statement. under the oath of
lie treasurer, giving the length q
track operated by it in the city on tha
Goth cay # SeptembSS next preceding
thu GATE OF the return which length
shall be determined by measuring Is
single track the total length of all
tracl; operated by the company, inclui
ing sidings and turnouts, whether
owned or leased by it, or over which it
has truckage rights only and the return
is also to contain a statement showing
the amount of the capital stock of the
company and of the dividends paid
thereon during the year ending on the
thirtieth day of September and during
each and every year from the organic
alton Of the company.
With this data at hand the tax COM
missioner apportions the amount of the
tax for which the street railway COM
pany is liable and the amount of the
tax is paid over to the city treasurer
and by him turned over to the highway
department. The tax is apportioned in
this way. In the case Of companies
whose annual gross receipts per mile of
track operated are four thousand dol
Lars or less, one per cent of the total
annual gross receipts; where the an
nual gross per mile receipts are $4,000
and less than $1,000, two per cent; where
the total annual per mile gross receipts
are $1,000 and less than $4,000, two and
one-quarter per cent, etc, up to COM
panies where the annual gross per mile
receipts are $2S000 or more, where the
tax is 8 per cent of the annual gross
receipts.
This additional money which will ac-
crue to the street department will be
very acceptable to Commissioner Prior,
although he has made no plans as yet
as@to the use to which it is to be put.
In one Massachusetts city where the
appropriation for the street department
had already been made, the mayor
recommended to the city government
that the tax apportionment be reduced
by just the sum received from the state
under this act.

Should Not Be Committed for Vagrancy.
In the district court at Northampton
on Tuesday, Joseph Mann, termed the
Literary Tramp" conducted his own
defense and gave a carefully prepared
dissertation on the law involved in the
case. His case is of local interest from
the fact that he claimed Worcester as
his residence when arrested for vag-
rancy.
His defense of his case showed inti-
mate acquaintance with the law In
substance it set forth that the law does
not dictate what a man shall do for d
living. In this country it is the right of
an American citizen to look for work
The manuscript found on his person,
he claimed, was one of a series of arti-
cles for a magazine. 1t showed decided
~ socialistic tendencies, but after hear
ing the evidence in the case against
him, he was discharged by the court.
