DESIGN FOR BICYCLE TAGS.
Licenses of Various Kinds Counter
feited by INSCRIPTIONS Persons.

Clerk Bogardus, of the controllers office
is preparing a design for bicycle license
tags and since his predecessors in the Of
fee for the past ten years have utilized
about all the available designs his task is
far from easy. Hearts, diamonds squares
circles and the ordinary shapes are old, and
il is particularly desired to have a new de-
sign.
1t is not generally known that bicycle
licenses are counterfeited in large numbers.
Last year it was supposed that people were
riding bicycles much less than in former
years because there were fewer tags issued,
but the fact is that hundreds and perhaps
thousands of the tags were counterfeited.
Counterfeiting of vehicle, dog and bicycle
licenses is something very easy to do and
exceedingly hard to detect. Unless the
shape of the new tag is odd and hard to
initiate there is nothing easier than to file
an old tag into the shape of a new one.
Police and inspectors have no time TO
anime in detail the license of every one,
and content themselves with glance to see
if there is a license, and then, with another
look to see if the license tag is the correct
shape. Ii might be dated a year before the
civil war if the shape is all right Another
dishonest practice with which the depart
ment has to deal is the not infrequent prac-
tice of buying licenses for one-horse teams
and then using them for two-horse teams.
The difference in price is s. and the total
loss to the city heavy. The trick is known
to be practiced extensively, but detections
are hard and unusual. 1t is said that hun
dreds of bicycles ridden in Indianapolis
which bear stolen license tags. Their own
ers simply steal tags from other bicycles
and tack them on their own wheels. 1t is
practically impossible TO catch the tag
thieves. There is form of dishonesty
more safe, because a police officer or an
inspector. seeing the license itself. would
have ground for suspecting that any
thing was wrong. 1t is estimated that the
account of the INSCRIPTIONS practices of
people who must have the tags required
by law. but are not particular as to how
they are obtained.
The city will make contracts in a few
days for the printing of the license blanks
used in the controllers office. The amount
paid runs usually from 500 TO 500.

UNION TRACTION BOND.
1t Is Executed in the Sum of SO 1000
other Companies Hold Out.

The Union Traction Company, through
its president, George f. McCulloch, exc
cuted with the American Surety Company
yesterday the bond of $4,000 required by
the terms of the franchise granted to the
company. The bond must be filed before
the cOmpanys cars are allowed to enter
the city. Mr.. McCulloch is anxious to have
his cars running to the center of the city
at once and expects by Saturday to relieve
the patrons of his road from the incon-
venience of changing cars at College ave-
nue. and Thirtieth street.
The other interurban officials, who re-
fused to sign the contract submitted, still
hold aloof and give no sign of relaxing hes
tility to the instrument. They do not agree
with Mr.. McCulloch in his opinion that it
Is the best contract which can be made
and that it is to their interest to sign. 1t
was stated yesterday that the interurban
officials will hold a meeting to-day for the
purpose of further considering the matter.
The members of the Board Of Works are
still of opinion that the contract will be
signed shortly.

AGAINST OUTSIDE BREwERIEs.
Ordinance Will Be Prepared in an
Effort to License Them.

The old contention between the city Of
Indianapolis and brewing concerns located
outside the city but maintaining depots
here regarding the payment of city taxes
and licenses will be revived and the old
fight, in which the foreign breweries were
successful formerly, will be refought.
Mayor Bookwalter has taken the stand that
breweries outside the city and State must
be placed the same footing in the mat
ter of paying licenses as the local brew
cries. and he has declared that he will force
outside concerns to pay if there is any legal
way of doing it, He has instructed City
Attorney Joss to prepare an ordinance
which shall compel foreign breweries to
pay as much for the privilege of doing
business in Indianapolis as is paid by any
of the local establishments. The ordinance
will be drawn with great care and every
possible effort will be made by Mr. Joss to
prepare a law which shall meet all the con-
stitutional provisions required by the SUI
preme Court. The ordinance is expected
to go before Council at early meeting.

CAPE FEAR IMPROVEMENTS
Senator Butler Asks for 500 600 to
Remove the Obstruction at Mouth

Station for Bogue Banks.

A Washington special to The Char
lotte Observer under date of January

Senator Butler is exerting himself
to help along the inland water way
route, and will have a formal hearing
before the senate committee on COM
merce at the earliest opportunity. He
is also pushing the Cape Fear improve
ments before the committee. The sec
rotary of war, in response to a resolu-
ton offered by Senator Butler, informed
the senate hat it will cost $10O, coo to
remove the obstruction at the mouth
of the Brunswick river. Mr.. Butler will
endeavor to have an Appropriation of
$100, 900 incorporated in the river and
harbor bill when it reaches the senate
to remove the Instructions.
M Small has introduced a bill which
provides that there be established a life
saving station on Bogue banks near
Beaufort inlet, in the state of North
Carolina. n hat the secretary of the
treasuery be required to provide for
such establishment and to supply the
same with the necessary l~ife-saving
crew and furnishings as provided by
law in like cases."
