yearly tax OF ten per cent. on its gross
receipts, the same to be paid quarter
ly. Mr.. Roche moved that action on
the amendment be indefinitely post
pOned, whereat Mr.. Chittenden spoke
in favor of its immediate consideration
and adoption.
He said that ten per cent tax
on this corporation which is going TO
use up a lot of real estate is none
too much. He said that when Balti-
more started out to tax her street
railway companies she began at
twenty per cent. and this was used in
improving the public parks. Every
nope of the success of the new road,
he contended. depends upon the
amount of money spent in improving
Nay Aug park, ana he wanted to know
where the city could find a better way
of securing money to make improve
ments there. Il think it is time we
stopped this giving away of fran
chises," said he. Mr.. Clemons said in
reply:
II desire to inform the gentleman
that there is now pending in this
branch a license tax ordinanc. which
provides for a tax on the gross re-
ceipts of street railway companies
which l am willing to have put up 10
10 per cent. if necessary. That's the
proper way to provide for the tax,
however, as it catches both companIes
and not this particular one. This COM
pany is tinanciered and the passage of
amendments only means unnecessary
delays for them. Let's pass the Ii
cense tax ordinance if We want to tax
this company.

THOUGHT 1T PECULIAR.

Mr.. O'Boyle said it was very pecu-
liar that Mr.. Chittenden had never
thought of objecting to the giving
away of franchises or of taxing street
railway companies until now. He be-
lieved that encouragement should be
given a company composed of Scran-
ton men who are going to compete
against a company whose profits go
to Philadelphia.
Mr.. Chittenden said that the license
tax ordinance might be passed, but
that if the franchise was given to
the company without his amendment

The enterprising commission firm Of
White Bros. is preparing to ship seven
car loads of apples to south Idaho points
and to points in Montana. They have to
date shipped to these same points 10
cars Of mixed fruits. Mr.. f. A. White
states that the Lewiston valley fruit is in
demand and consumers are willing to pay
little more for fruit from this section than
owing to the fact that all va
rieties are Of much better flavor and not
troubled with the different kinds of
worms that are pest in most sections of
The state. This is good sign Of the pop
ularity Of the Lewiston valley fruits and
fruit growers should use every effort to
keep the grade of THEN fruit up to the

From the Philadelphia Record
Exports of manufactured goods from
the United States, averaging over $500
600 per month for the last government
year. have continued IN large volume dur
ing the dull summer season. The July
record was $34545,o42, an extraordinary
showing for that period Of the year, with
a considerable volume OF trade cut of by
hostile measures OF European govern
ments and BY the serious disturbances in

tion peculiar TO the United States) the list
Of manufactured exports makes a con-
