which stopped his hair falling out and
made it grow again as thick as ever. He
induced me to try the Cuticura Remedies.

WOULD SETTLE
PHONE FRANCHISE
Lively Struggle Over License
Tax Anticipated This
Evening.
BIG TRIUMVIRATE is BUSY
DESIRE TO LET COMPANIES
DOWN EASY.

"A battle for supremacy between the
Observation-Disclosures triumvirate in the
city council and those opposed to
granting any favors to the telephone COM
panies will be waged at the special meet
ing of the council to be held this even
ing.
AT this meeting the question of enforcins
the present ordinance requiring a license
or 90 cents on. each telephone operated by
the companies will come up for final set
tlement, and the forces are apparently
evenly divided.
The council triumvirate favors granting
the company will pay the city / per cent
of its gross earnings and be relieved from
paying the license.
The Independent company already has
franchise which compels it to pay /
per cent of its gross earnings, and also
provides the city with free telephones. If
the license ordinance is repealed the In
dependent company will be relieved from
paying anything additional to its present
gross earnings tax.
In a communication submitted to the
city council Monday evening the Bell
company assured that body the license tax
cannot be collected. as it is inequitable
and discriminates against particular bus
mess.
The city attorney has already decided
that the Bell company cannot be forced TO
pay any back license, as the old agreement
between the city and the company, by
cept forty free telephones in lieu of the IL
cense tax, has not been terminated by the
council
The attorney, however, believes that the
ordinance is constitutional and that the
tax can be collected after Oct l.
If the triumvirate has its say no effort
will be made to enforce the license ordi-
nance and some agreement will be made
which will be entirely satisfactory TO the
companies. although the city may lose
considerable revenue by the move.
The amount involved if the ordinance is
enforced is approximately $1,000 year,
81, 500 from the Bell company and $3.50
from the Independent company. If fran
chise should be given the Bell company
and a gross earnings tax of l per cent
collected, the total revenue for the city
would not be more than $500 year.
The Independent company now pays
about 81 100 as it's gross earnings tax and
the Bell company's tax would be about
double that amount.
Whatever action is taken. there is sure
to be a lively fight tonight.
New style races, Saltair bicycle track
tonight.
