MERCHANTS FRANCHISE.
Councilman Meyer sigma
ture from Favorable Report.

Councilman Meyer, Democrat, of the
Fourteenth ward, yesterday withdrew his
signature to the report Of the committee
on contracts and franchises which ap-
proves the franchise granted TO the Mer-
chants Heat. Light and Power Company
by the Board of Works. Mr.. Meyer visited
Chairman Negley and asked permission TO
withdraw his name. He gave no reason.
There is a belief that this franchise will
meet with some hostility tomorrow night
when before the Council, and some say
that its passage is doubtful. Chairman
Negley, of the committee, says he has
heard of considerable opposition to il, but
has not heard the reason for the opposition.
He says he feels sure that the administra-
ton is giving its earnest support TO the
measure.
The franchise is for a cooperative heat
ing plant. with electric power and light as
by-products, and the stockholders are the
member of the Merchants Association. 1t
requires the company to furnish all others
with heat and light. even though they are
not members nor stockholders. Officers of
the Merchants Company express astOnish-
ment at the hostility to the franchise, one
of its chief purposes being to abate the
smoke nuisance i'm the downtown district.

George ]. Lacy, an old soldier, and his
wife, who now live with their niece at SIS
wilkins street. have left the State Soldiers
Home at Lafayette because. Lacy says, the
wife of Adjutant Keller, of the home, re-
quested him to turn over S12 of his quarter
ly pension to go toward a fund for the
burial expenses of the old people. The vet
eran and his wife say that their feelings
were hurt at the request and that IL was
cruelty to remind them that they had not
long to live.
Gen. James r. Carnahan, who is a trus-
tee of the home, says, however, that IL is
a rule of the board that a part of the PEN
sion money of the inmates shall be used
to bear funeral expenses. IS TO Lacy's
claim that a state law gives him the right
TO have a $50 funeral at the expense of the
State General Carnahan said that the law
Lacy alluded to does not apply TO inmates
of the home. 1t only applies, he said, to
residents of the township.

OF RAILROADS
CORPORATIONS INSIST UPON NO IN
CREASE OF ASSESSMENT.
This Plea Predtcated Upon the APP
preciated Values Of Real Estate
Another Closed Session.

Another secret session was held by the
state Tax Commissioner yesterday morn
ing at which assessments of railroads were
considered. Tomorrow and Tuesday the
board will listen to more pleas by corpo-
ration attorneys representing some of the
big railroads running through Indiana.
Tomorrow Robert ]. Carey will be before
the board for the Indiana, Illinois & Iowa
Railroad. Charles ]. Schleif will represent
the Bedford Stone Railway Company; the
Monon will be represented by its presi-
dent. W. H. McDoel; Frank B. Carpenter
Will talk to the board on behalf of the
Nickel-plate and the Chicago & Erie will
send w. o. johnson
Tuesday will also be given over to the
hearing of railroad attorneys. William
NJ Greene. vice president and general man
ager of the Baltimore < Ohio southwestern
and j. &. Norton. attorney for the Balti-
more & Ohio. will make statements. The
representative w II. Lyford; the c, III.
& D.. r. F.. Rifenberrick; the Elwood. An
derson * Lapel. D b. Edwards; the South
ern Railway, II. w. Miller, and the Louis
vile d Nashville, c. Bradford.
1t is the policy Of railroad attorneys ap-
pearing before the board to base their argu-
ments that assessments should not be in
creased on two main facts: that since real
estate has appreciated in value as heavily
as railroad property, railroad property
should not be assessed higher until the
same action can be taken on all real es-
tate. Since the board cannot raise the
assessment on general real estate until
next year the attorneys are practically a
unit IN asking that the present assessments
be carried over until that time. Tn sec
ond plea is that the railroads were as
sessed heavily during the hard times several
years ago and that no reduction was made
on their behalf at that time. They argue
that IL IL the duty of the board to equaliZe
this action and to not increase the assess
ment this year because earnings have
MOUNTED a little higher and because rail-
road property has in general become more
valuable than it was at the time of general
business depression
