LICENSES WILL BE INCREASED.
Saloons. Hotels, Feed stores and Luns.
her Yards to add to Revenue

To secure more city revenue the License
of the CITY Council and a COM
nittee of the Good Government League OF
Bellevil1e have practically decided on a
general revision OF the license law of the
city. which. If IL Is adopted. will give the
city at least $500 more revenue annually
The result of the conference will be laid
before the Belleville City Council at its
next meeting.
One CT the principal changes lies in the
proposed increase of the license of the malt
liquor saloons. which now pay a revenue OF
$50 a year This is to be raised to 500 a
year. The beer depots are also to pay SO
instead OF S10o n year. Boa rding-houses, ho-
tells and restaurants. soda factories. milk
vendors. feed stores. lumber yards. all Of
which are now exempt from paying city u
censes. are to be as essed as high as SO a
year.
II Is expected that those affected will
make a fight agains; the adoption of the
ordinance. but the merchants who are pay
ing license to do business are pushing the
matter.

GOULD TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENT.
ST. Paul Alliance to Benefit All Roads
Of the System.

SPECIAL

ter. This authority says: 1T is Of the
same general character as traffic agree
ments between TWO railroads always are.
So far the financial interests who are large
holders Of the stocks of one company or
the other are not directly concerned Nor
is the agreement TO be an exclusive one.
1t IS not yet closed. but is being neSotiat-d
by the traffic officials OF the St. Paul and
Missouri Pacific
The agreement has not yet been sub
mi-fed 10 the board OF directors, nor vii.
IL be until the traffic officials have definite
" fixed the terms. Once approved. however.
the contract viii not last a minute longer
than il works for the mutual advantage OF
the parties concerned"
When the various railway properties con-
trolIed by George ]. Gould and his friends
shall have been consolidated. after the
plans which railway experts OF high stand
ing believe Mr.. Gould Intends to carry out.
IL Is expected that the terms of the contract
sooner or later TO be closed with the Mis-
souri, Pacific will be extended TO the benefit
of all concerned. so as to include the other
Gould railways in the West and Southwest
