MICHAELSEN AGAINST BILL
Thinks Proposed Revision Would Pro-
vide Too Much Money.
MORE MONEY THAN IS NEEDED
Favors HnvinE Royalties and OceuDR-
tion Taxes Added Go the Fund,
but Not Raising the
FIXED Amount.

The provisions Of the bill for the pro-
posed revision Of the city ordinances VIII
give 'he city more money than Il needs
for lighting purposes. according to Wade
mar Michaelsen, city electrician. Mr.. Mich
aelsen has male an exhaustive study OF
the ordinance and suggests that II should
be amended.
Under our present ordinance the city
council is empowered to vote $4,000 year
for the lighting fund In addition all
moneys accruing from royalty taxes from
the lighting companies are placed to this
fund. which gives more than 100000 for
lighting purposes" said Mr.. Michaelsen.
Vow. the new ordinance provides that
the amount that the city can expend Is
slOoOO In addition. it puts all moneys
received from royalties and occupation
taxes in this fund Then there is another
provision. which gives the city council the
power TO create lighting districts and to
assess one-haH the cost Of maintenance
against the property owners From these
three provisions the city will get approx
lmately s2O0OB for lighting purposes, as
follows
First a set amount OF 10000 then oc-
cupatlom taxes which II is proposed to
divert from the sinking fund win add In
the neghBorhood Of $4,000. These taxes
are based on 3 per cent Of the gross bust
ness OF the companies exclusive Of light
furnished to the city. The royalties will
bring in from $4,000 to $4,000 more while
there Is no limit to the amount that may
be cxacted from property owners in spe-
clal lighting districts.
TELLS OF Objections.
The objections to the proposed plan are
two-fod. First, the city does not need
that much money for lighting purposes;
secondly, the provision creates fund
which will gradually Increase from year 10
year and wfl increase faster than the de-
mand for extra lights. We should have an
increasing s,'nd to meet the demands. but
we do not need one that is as general as
this.
There are two ways in which the pro-
vision can be amended satisfactory. in my
opinion. The present limit of $4,000 can
be left as It Is and the occupation taxes
and royalties added to the fund. In this
way we can get about $4,000 to SS5. 900 more
each year, which viii be ample. or the
amount that ian be apportioned by the
city council can be raised to 100000 and the
royalties added TO the fund, as now. and
leave the occupation taxes to the sinking
fund. This will also add about $4,000 yearly
Either way Is satisfactory. OF the two
however, favor that leaving the money to
he apportloned by the council TO $4,000 and
divorting both the royalties and occupation
taxes 10 the fund. This win meet condl-
lions better as II viii give an increasing
fund which win be augmented as the
business of the lighting companies Increase
but am against the present provisions
and shall make suggestions for the amend
ing OF the ordinance"

by these distinguished James at a
miners cabin in the far west Ac-
cording to the story, a melancholy min
er at whose cabin Mark Twain found
shelter one night told him that three
other 'slittery men" had stayed with
him the night before and given him
much trouble. They were Mr.. Emer-
