In spite of the opposition Of some
of the councilmen from the Second

tee believe that the committees re-
commentator that the council ap-
propriata s26. 900 for the city public

Fellows announced that they would
oppose this recommendation. They Of
fered no other plan for solving the
problem of securing money for the

A majority or the coune.lmen realize
that the school problem must be
faced and solved one way or the
other and they are in favor OF dispos-
ing of ii and ending the useless
wrangle between the board and the
council. The plan presented by the
finance committee was carefully work
ed out by the members after a
thorough study of the situation and
many OF the councilman believe that
L is the best that can be adopted.
Agents Framed Insurance Tax.
II is evident that a strong fight is
to be made on the license tax ordi-
nance imposing a tax of s25 per an
nun and FIVE per cent. Of the gross
receipts on fire insurance companies.
This system Of taxation was worked
out by Chairman Caleb ID. West ana
