RESULT OF ANTi-PAss LAW.
Free Ride Worth More Than City OF
fees In West Burlington, la.


Burlington, Ia, Aug. 2S,-West Bur
lIngton will probably be without city
officials as result of the new anti.
pass law. All OF the city officials are
railroad employees and as such are en-
titled under the law to the use OF
passes, but as city officials they are
prohibited from riding on any kind OF
free transportation. They consider
the passes Of more value to them than
the city Offices and It Is expected that
they will resign within few days.
The perplexing thing is that as prac'
tically ever one in West Burlington Is
an employe Of the railroad 1t will be
difficult to find any one to take the
pffices.
