STREET RAILWAY
MUST ACT FIRST
If 1t Would Determine Right to
Extend Line Without Paying
Gross Earnings Tax.

The question as to whether the street
railway company has waived its right
to extend its Lafayette line to Lake
Phalen under an order of the council
passed in 1892, has been raised and re-
ferred to Corporation Attorney Michael
by Aid. Holt. Mr.. Michael says that he
was merely asked to investigate the
matter and that he is not as yet pre-
pared to make a statement.
1t is understood. however, that should
the issue be raised and should the
council attempt to block the extension
TIL the company agrees to accept the
terms of the charter imposing a S per
cent gross earnings tax, the company
will reply that it was unable to pro-
coed with the work of laying track on
account Of the city's failure to secure
the vacation and complete the grading
or the streets necessary for the pur-
pose.
Inc street car situation remains .ex-
actly the same now as when Corpora
tlon Attorney Michael filed his opinion
Win the council two weeks ago. The
members of the council are unani-
mously of the opinion that the COM
pany should not be allowed to proceed
with any of the proposed extensions
TIL 1t agrees in writing to accept the
terms Of the charter. The prevailing
sentiment is indicated by the prompt
manner In which the assembly laid
over the request for the Rondo and
randolph street extensions at the last
meeting, and the equally pronnt man
ner in which the charter commission
Monday evening received and placed
on lille Mr.. MichaePs opinion without a
word Of comment.
The street car company, it is under
STOOD must take the initiative if the
issue pending between it and the city
IS TO be brought before the courts.
Inc company may bring matters to
point by throwing carloads of iron
and ties on Concord street" said Mr.
Michael. IF they do this we will see
that they go no further"

TIGERS WANT HELP
Would Confer With Republican
Clubs Over MayOraIty.

Realizing the utter impossibility of
accomplishing anything within their
own organization alone, the Ramsey
Tigers, at meeting last night, named
a committee to confer with the execu-
tive committees of other Republican
clubs for the purpose of assuring them
that the Tigers stand ready to support
any candidate for mayor who might be
nominated.
The Tigers agreed not to attempt to
indorse any particular candidate. but
in the secrecy of their own executive
session last night a straw vote was
taken to secure the sense Of the meet
ing regarding a proper candidate for
mayor, with the result that J. G. Van
derbie, dark horse" secured the
largest vote. George f. Lennon was
second and F. P. Wright third. J. J.
Leighton and A. R. Kiefer also received
some votes.
During the meeting there was a boom
started for John Wagner for mayor,
it being pointed out that he would be
acceptable TO the German element. 1t
was semi-authoritatively announced
that Lennon would not enter the race
at all, and none of the candidates thus
far mentioned appear to be acceptable
to the Tigers, although they agreed to
stand by any candidate who might be
named at the primaries.
Before the Tigers went into execu-
tive session an address on Good Gov
ernment' was made by Judge Jaggard
which is said to have contained some
good suggestions for the energetic
young Republicans who belong to the
Tigers.
