A Wheel Ordinance
MAY Be A TULSA Law
COMMISSIONER YEAGER THINKS
TAX SHOULD BE LAID
AGAINST VEHICLES.

Commissioner Of Streets j. A. Yea
ger and Superintendent OF Streets
Gregory, are renewing their agitation
for a city wheel tax" to be placed
In varying amounts upon every
wheeled vehicle that traverses the
city's thoroughfares.
The proposed tax could be created
by an ordinance. The plan Of Messrs.
feager and Gregory Is to tax each
vehicle a small amount per annum.
Buggios would be taxed about 81 per
year. while wagons used In hauling
heavy substances would be charged
from IS to s12 per annum, If the
proposed plan Is carried out.
1T used TO be-" said Mr.. Gregory
Yesterday that the wagons hauling
the sand from the Arkansas River in
20 Tulsa, had 10 pay 25-cent round
trip toll over the river bridge. Now
that toll Is done away with, and the
bridge Is free TO the public With
this expense taken away, and with
paved streets accessible over which
much larger loads of sand can be
hauled, the sand men are enabled to
make more money. Why should tho
city not receive a small amount from
them to be used towards the main-
tenance Of the city streets? The ma
Jorlty Of the people who drive vehic-
les over the streets are not property
owners and do not have to pay ono
cent towards tho paving of the
streets or their maintenance, while
they derive moro benefit from these
improvements than anyone else"
City Attorney Ramsey Will shortly
be asked to draw a wheel tax" ordi-
nance. according to Commissioner
