ing of the city building for county
purposes. =
The clerk stated to the council
that this wac the date set for the
hearing of the petition for the vaca.
ton of the alleys in Block 81, but
that owing to the publication not
having been complied with in the
Virginian, the official city paper for
the present year. ihe matter was
not in shape to come before the
council and that zthe publication
would again have te be started from
the beginning, thus delaying action
for four or five weeks. The vaca-
ton of the alleys il this block is
desired by the school board before
the proposed new high school build
ing can be commenced.
An anti-spitting ordinance was
presented and given it's first read
ing, and while seemingly stringent
in it's provisions will, if enforced in
a moro conscientious manner than
are many OF the laws of the state
and city, meet with hearty approval.
Ten liquor licenses were passed,
and one transfer of liquor license
granted, the monthly pay. roll was
passed and other matters of minor
importance attended to with proper
dispatch.

Rate on the Product From
Louisville to West Virgin
ia Points is Entirely Too
Steep.
THREE RAILROADS
ARE INVOLVED.
First Class Rate Caused by
Toys Being Packed
in Coffee.

Washington, ID. c., oct 4.-The
interstate commerce commission r.
ceived a complaint from the Ouer-
hacker Coffee company, of Louis
Vile, against the Southern, Chcsa-
peake e. Ohio and Louisville a. Nash
Vile railroad companies.
The complainant alleges that the
roads charge excessive freight rates
ON coiee shipped from Louisville to
Middlesboro, KY, and TO Virginia.
West Virginia and Tennessee points
by reason OF coffee being regarded
as first instead OF firth class freight.
The reason given for this action Is
that some Of the coffee has chea3
toys packed with It. The toys weigh
only half an ounce and cost less than
cent each This practice IS al
legged TO bc a VOCATION Of the law
which the commission Is asked to
stop; also TO substitute reasonable
rates.
