sci James r. Nugent yesterday that
the work going on at the Morton Street

partment of some weeks standing. AZ
the superintendent claimed that fee

would have amounted to a much larger
sum than those due under the decision
of the city counsel. The Common coun-
ell committee on the alteration and
construction Of buildings approved the
opinion.
The city counsel cites decisions IN
which the word alterations is defined.

unidentified man. and a revolver duel

eeo,o7s and the gain for 1908 over 1907 was {$64 81. Previous years

FRANCHISE TAX RATE INCREASED.
The reason for this is that prior to 1906 the franchise tax was

Legislature changed the law and provided for an increase of one

reached five per cent, at which figure, the statute saws. it shall
thereafter remain.
This means that within three or four years PUBLIC SERVICE

taxes, more than $500, 900 a year from its street railway receipts
alone. And the amount will Keep growing larger and larger IS
the company's business expands.

$500,000 a Year for
Trolley Franchises

THIS is another talk by PUBLIC SERVICE about what the
company pays for the privilege of operating trolley cars
over its tracks laid on the public streets and highways
As PUBLIC SERVICE said last week, some folk seem to have
the impression that this privilege was secured without compensa-
tion; that the right to do business in the streets costs the company
practically nothing"
As a piece of important information PUBLIC SERVICE told
in It's previous talk how it had expended, in round figures 81 2O. 900
for street paving. during the six years OF It's existence. every dollar
OF which directly benefited the municipalities in which the work
was done
A WORD ABOUT FRANCHISE TAXES.
This talk is about another item Of expenditure. a large and
constantly growing one, which the company has to meet, solely
for the privilege of doing business. It is about the franchise
taxes which the company pays yearly.
PUBLIC SERVICE, be it understood, pays taxes on its real and
personal property in the same manner and at the same rates a
every other taxpayer.
In addition to this. PUBLIC SERVICE pays a franchise tax
based on its gross receipts The percentage assessed Is fixed by Law.
and the tax Is apportioned according to the value of the com.
panys property located in the streets of the various municipalities
Every penny of the tax is paid TO the municipalities and helms nv
just SO much, to reduce the tax bills of the individual taxuavers
HOW FRANCHISE TAXES GROW.
What these taxes have amounted to since PUBLIC SERVICE
was organized is shown by the following figures:
