CITY OFFICIALS PREPARE
TO PROSECUTE RAILWAYS.
Claim for Sfreet-Car Tax of One MIL
for Each Cash Fare May he
Placed in COunselOr'a Hands.

At q meeting of the City Comptroller,
City Counselor and License Collector YES
terday 1t was decided to take decisive
steps toward collecting taxes from the
local street car companies under -, pro-
visions OF recently enacted ordinances.
The new laws require that the st. Louis
Transit and Suburban railways pay at the
rate OF mill for each cash fare collected
by the companies.
Under the new law the companies are
supposed to report each day the result of
the previous days business. At the end
of a three-months period the city. accord
ing to the new ordinance, is to collect its
share OF the quarters business.
Although the law has been in effect s;r.ce
the beginning Of the year. the railroad
companies have yet to report a single
days business.
City Register Fitzgibbon has notified the
companies of the city's intentions, and Lii
cense Collector Clifford will summons or
ficiais of the company before him as soon
SIS possible Providing the railroad man
ayers do not come to terms by April 16,
the matter will be placed in the hands of
the City Counselor, with instructions to
proceed against the corporations.
