The returns Of the Fire Depart

The returns Of the Fire Depart
ment election which were received
by City Council on Thursday even
ing, shows another tangle to be ad-
justed by the courts. After the
canvas, Council decided that there
had been no election. Michael L.
Conway received the votes OF the
combine companies. while Andrew
p. Lohner received the votes OF the
anti-combine companies, for chief
engineer. According to the old
time way of electing the officers OF
the fire department, the majority
won. This would necessarily elect
Conway chief of the department.
City Council does not at this time
take this view of the matter and
good money will be spent in the
courts settling the dispute.
The tiremen have heretofore for
several Years been able to settle
the matter among themselves, but
for the last year or more there has
been more or less contention about
the manner in which the heads OF
the department have been selected.
AS it has been the heads OF the fire
department have been selected from
among the members of the combine
companies. thus leaving the other
four companies out in the cold.
They got tired of rotation that did
not include them and they tried to
have IL bill passed at the session of
the last Legislature to give them
some relief on representation III the
heads OF the department. The bill
was backed by Attorney W. +.
Ktlrtz but failed to pass, the com
bine influence working against it..
Now City Council is asked to settle
the dispute which will leave had
blood after it and make enemies Tor
the Democratic tuuncilmen.

members. Representative Richardson,
of Tennessee, proposed an amendment
to put rust-made articles on the free
list. This was defeated by party vote.
Representative Richardson, of Louisiana,
moved to continue thd tax on bucket
Shops" this was also defeated on a party
vote. Representative Newlands, of Ne
vada, offered two amendments, one ex-
cepting from the repeal the tax on ptrol-
cum and sugar refineries and another
imposing a tax of one tenth of one per
cent. gross receipts of any industrial
corporations having receipts of $1,000000
annually. Both amendments were de-
feated by party votes.
Chairman Payne made the following
statement on the proposed repeal:
The Treasury now has an available
cash balance of something over $17400O,-
600. 1T is not likely that this will be in
creased materially during the present
fiscal year, as the Treasury is buying
bonds at rate that will use up the sur
plus to accumulate between this and the
end of the fiscal year, June 30th., next.
THE Secretary of the Treasury's re-
port estimated surplus for this year of
to confirm this estimate. The committee
therefore thought it was entirely safe to
repeal the remainder of the war revenue
taxes amounting TO siXty-eight million
dollars, and the tax on tea of nine mil
lion dollars in the aggregate $77, 100000
at this time This Will still leave a sur
plus estimated upon this years receipts
and expense of twenty-five or three mill
lion dollars for the year, While we will
start upon the next fiscal year with
$164 ,000 600 vailable cash in the Treasury.
The committee deems it wise to have
the repeal OF the tax on tea take effect
on the first of January next in order to
enable those, especially retailers and
small dealers, who have small stocks of
the duty paid goods on hand, to dispose
of them before the repeal takes effect
We can provide a rebate on the tobacco
tax and guard against any fraud upon
the revenue for the reason that the In
ternal Revenue Department has this
trade under close surveillance and can
and will take an account of the stock in
the dealers hands on the first day of
July next But this will be Impossible
as to teas which come in as customs
duties, and of which the Government
has nc account save as they are import
ed in large quantities by the importers.
Continuing this tea tax to the first of
January will give US six months revenue
