ARE Determined TO
GET THAT V|ADUCT

Councilman Peter Nelson next
Tuesday night will call out of the
committee of the whole the ordi-
nance calling for the building of a
viaduct across Division street
which has rested quietly since its
Introduction November last. The
recent delay in the viaduct matter
was due to the talk of a union
depot, which caused the city Off
Gals to pause until the matter was
definitely settled one way or the
other.
The Neighborhood club of the
Pilgrim Congregational church held
meeting the other night and
adopted resolutions asking that the
council proceed at once to take
steps to secure the building of the
viaduct, and in pursuance of this
request Councilman Nelson will ask
that legislation on the viaduct be
resumed at once.
The ordinance is based upon the
right of the city under the police

powers granted it by the constitu-
ton to protect the life Of it's citi-
zens by compelling the railroads to
furnish grade separation. The ordi-
nance calls upon the o. r. & N.
and the International railroads to
bear all of the expense of building
the viaduct and adjusting the ques-
tion of damages that may be sus-
tanned by the abutting property
owners. The International in it's
franchise agreed to build a viaduct
over its tracks whenever the city
called upon it to make the improve
ment. The proposed viaduct will
cost over $250,000.
The railroads are required to be-
gin work on the viaduct within 80
days after the passage of the ordi-
nance by the city council and to
complete the work within one year.
1t is probable that the railroads
will resist the efforts of the city,
and that the viaduct will never be
built except by order of the higher
courts.

He declared that no one could in
vestigate the subject without being
convinced that there must be large de-
ficits every year hereafter, and he as
serted that every penny which would
result from the enactment of his and
Mr.. Bailey's income tax amendment
would be necessary to meet the de
mands Of the government.
A tax on income, he said, ought TO be
the first imposed, and it should be
levied by every state as well as by the
national government. Sententiously,
he said, Eve would lay the tax on for

that period the total debt had been
reduced S32. 81. 600 in excess of the

Mr.. Cummins replied there was moth

receipts and expenditures of the gov
eminent TO sustain mis- contention that
the pending bill did not supply enough
money for usual expenses.
