THE 1905 SESSION LAWS.

The present session of the Leg.

more bills have been introduced

of the law does not excuse any one.
The quickest. cheapest and best
way to know the law is to buy a

a few hours after the Governor has
disposed of the Last measure before

--ordinanos for Regulation Of Gas
Rates.

Chicago, Nov. 14.--Another ordinance
providing for steps to secure munich
pal ownership of the street railways
in Chicago, was submitted to the city
council last night by Mayor Dunno.
The ordinance was accompanied by IL
message to the aldermen which gave
three ways In which Mayor Dunno
asserts he will be able to bring about
municipal ownership.
The first plan is by reaching an
agreement with the traction companies
by which their property would be
transferred to the city at valuation
to be decided upon by arbitrator. The
second is by condemnation Of the prop
erty of the street railway companies

act The third method Is the one

plan. 1t is for the construction OF mu-
nicipal street railway lines which will
parallel the lines Of the existing COM

the message from the mayor asked
that authority be given to place on
the ballots at the spring election the
question whether the city shall issue
Mueller bill certificates to the amount
Of $75,000,000. This sum, 1t is declared,
by the mayor, u.s. needed for the re-
construction OF the lines, and for the
purchase OF the unexpired franchise
rights OF the existing companies.
The message and the ordinance were,
referred to the committee on local
transportation, the same fate as that
which met the other propositions sub
mitted to the council by the mayor in
regard to the 1nunicipalization Of the
Chicago street railways.
Another ordinance submitted by
Mayor Dunno was one for the reglla-
tioll Of gas and electric light rates.
