Lohnson CITY, Took q Nan.

If the citizens of The progressive lit
tie town Of johnson City, Tenn, had
not spent the summer la dreamland,
or if Cy Lyle had read his exchanges
carefully aud enlightened his fellow
townmen, it may have been that the
operation of tho East Tennessee
mountain village would have been in
strumental in the passage Of a law for
the protection Of shippers andreceiveIs
of freight in Sunny Tennessee, For
this error, johnson City should lose
the last section Of its name and in flu
ture be known as johnson Town.
Quite an amusing communication
was received by the Memphis Freight
Bureau recently, calling upon that in
stitutlon to cooperate with the Com
mercial Club of johnson City in the
passage of a bill to regulate and create
restrictions relating to demurrage and
delayage. With the letter came copy
of this act, which, by the way,was well
framed.
From the tone of this communication
it is quite evident that the makers OF
this bill were unaware of the fact that
the Memphis Freight Bureau had pre-
scented bill along the same lines for
passage through the general assembly,
and that this measure had met with de-
feat. And they evidently overlooked
the fact that more recently compro-
mise bill had been presented in lieu Of
the defeated measure and that this bill
had also been Jul jitsued by the as
sembly, the solons claiming that it
presented the identical requirements
of the original measure, and that bill
can not be passed on but once during q
session OF the assembly.
The bill as drafted by the Commerce
al Club of Johnson City is considered
by the Memphis Freight Bureau as a
succinct and clear exposition of what
is wanted and when the progressive
Commercial Club comes before the leg
islature with the bill next year, it can
depend upon the Memphis institution
and the Memphis people supporting it
tooth and toe nail
