ization

Columbus, O., Feb. 20.-The bill in
troduced by Representative Nye of

idence property to refuse to rent it on
the stated ground of the possession
of children by the lessee, provided
that the number of children thus pos
sessed shall not exceed four under 1G
years. The bill provides that the new
rule shall be effective July l, 1906,
and that the penalty for violation shall
be a fine from $40 to 500 for each

the organization in Cleveland of the
owners of large apartment houses who

children.
The organization has in addition to
this action set prices.

Cleveland's Mayor Will
Accept no Settlement
That Doesn't Involve
Municipal Ownership
of Traction Interests.
Delivers His UItimatum
to President Andrews
on Railway Question.
Holding Company is
Proposed.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 20.-Mayor Tom
l.. Johnson has apparently given up
his fight for three cent fare and turn
ed his efforts to the municipal owner
ship of traction lines. He has made
it clear to President Horace e. An
drews that he will accept no settle,
ment of the street railway question
that does not involve municipal own
ership and control of the traction
lines. 1t was learned today that he
told Andrews yesterday at their con-
ference: There is only one. way to
adjust matters and tnaU is to again
take up the proposition made the
company last May--have a holding
company composed of well known citi-
zens take over the property at fair
rental"
Johnsons holding company propos-
al is in effect that a company be or
ganized to take over the property and
good will of the Cleveland Electric
Railway company and to operate the
same for the benefit of the city OF
Cleveland. The company is to be
compensated on terms to be agreed
to-; such terms to be reached by a
proper and careful valuing of the tan
gible assets and franchises of the
company.
The council is to grant new fran
chise to the Cleveland Electric under
the terms of which it could sell or
lease to the holding company and by
the provision of which the entire
property could revert to the Cleveland
Electric Railway company provided
the city did not carry out it's agree
ment. The ultimate reversion to the
city after the term of the lease or pro.
visional sale to the holding company
is part of the plan.

koop Printing Company, of Franklin,
Pa, a concern which had secured the
contract for printing certain supplies
used by the money order division.
