TAX THE TELEGRAPH POLES.

An increase at least S2jOWN per an
mum to the city's income from corpora
lions Is projected in an ordinance
which Aid. Anton L. Icmnn of the
Thirticth Ward has drawn NJ. The
measure will come up soon in the City
Council.
The ordinance. rs prepared, provides
that all telephone and telegraph COM
panies not now taxed on their gross in

10 the municipality s. per annum for
each pole used by them. Where wires
are laid under ground the ordinance
provides for compensation of l5 cents
per foot per annum.
This ordinance will strike In partlcu.

The investigation which Aid. Zcman
has directed has developed the fact that
neither of these companies, although
enjoying most valuable concessions,
