To LegaIize Consolidation.

Hon. E. w. Hurst has returned
from Springfield, where he was before
the municipal corporations committee
of the house in the interest of the bill
to legalize the consolidation of the
lines mbraced in the Tri-City Rail
way company, formality that is
necessary in order to make the sale of
the bond issue conform to the require
ments of the purchasers. The bill
was presented in the senate by
Senator William Payne and in
the house by Representative G.
w. Johnsn. The Chicago Amer
lean, in sensational story from its
Springfield correspondent, claims to
have discovered that the motive of the
measure is to enable the Chicago lines
to avoid paying taxes-for instance,
corporation in Hammond. Ind,
could purchase all of the Chicago car
lines and avoid Chicago taxation
These charges are denied by the Tri-
City company, which states the bill
has but single purpose, as men
