At their last regular meeting, Friday
night the village bailiffs voted to regu-
late driving teams for passenger business
during the two days of the Valley Fair
by requiring each driver to take out a
license, for which a merely nominal fee
will be charged, sufficient to cover the
cost of printing, etc. This action, which
is in accordance with the village bylaws
was taken principally to enable the Of
fcers to identify teams in case of acct
dent, as each driver will be required to
keep his number prominently displayed
at all times. 1t also will ensure good
service, as no person will be allowed to
put on passenger team unless the
vehicle and horse are suitable The
maximum rate which will be permitted
will be Is cents. Last year two ladies
were charged $3.50 each by a driver who
knew that they were anxious to leave on
a certain train. 1t was raining at the
time and the driver took advantage of
the situation by claiming that he was
making special trip for them which he
would not have made had the weather
been pleasant. The bailiffs have no de-
sire to limit the number of teams, but to
regulate the business.

Hof introduced a European novelty

prevail Banta brothers and Won Dell
