TO DISCONTINUE
MARINE RAIL WAY
-
This Announcement Made
BY Briesenick-He
Engineering Co.
TROUBLE ABOUT The LICENSE
Company Thinks Council Has Done
it an Injustice by Increasing the
Amount of Tax-Mr. sriese-
nick Talks.

A report has been current in the CITY
for several days to the effect that
after February 1, the Briesenick- Hen,
sell Engineering Company would dis.
continue operating a marine rail
way at this port, and that the com.
pany had also stopped work on their
boiler factory
A News representative yesterday en-.
deavored to get the rumor confirmed
and Mr.. R. e. Briesenick, manager Of
the company, was sought for an inter.
view.
Mr.. Briesenick stated that his com.
pany was considering and had
about decided to discontinue the ma,
rine railway after the above named
date and also that work had been stop.
ped on the boiler factory.
When asked the reasons for this act,
ion on the part OF his company, Mr..
Briesenick stated that he did not think
his concern had been treated exactly
right by the city council in the matter
OF license, claiming that the tax on his
business had been increased from $50
TO $500, but, after he had protested,
1t has been reduced to SIS. Mr.. Bries-
enick further stated that in the past
he had been paying $50, and could not
understand why council had increased
the tax on his business and no other
in the city.
Il do not mind paying higher Ii.
eense, stated Mr.. griasenick, .'but /
do not think that / have been treated
right inasmueh as the license on 9th
er businesses IN tbs. city have not been
ine5aased at all, and / do not under.
stand why council has seen fit to in.
crease the tax on my business alone. "
The News prints the above as the
plain facts in the matter as stated by
Mr.. Briesnick, and at the same time
INDUCES the hope that an amicable
agreement will be reached between
Mr. Brieseniclx and the city. The
News has not. investigated the other
side Of the question, and prints this
story owing to the fact that rumors
of all kinds concerning the affair have
been in circulation in the city.

primarily Tor speed they will be at the
same time formidable lighting mach
ines. They will have the most powerful
ordinance for vessels of their class
and have the highest speed compati-

great radius Of acton. They so closely
approach the type of second class ar
