Montgomery mind for. upon this
announcement, he entered mild pro-
test against leaving the investigation
To that committee stating that it was
not the business of the committee to
build ordinances but rather to pass
upon such as were presented. How
ever, on second thought he withdrew
any objection he might have had.
Big Question, Says Mayor.
Mayor Murphy closed the discus
sion with the statement that he con-
sidered the subject much bigger than
it was at first considered and that
considerable time was necessary for
thorough investigation. The mo-
ton was then put and without dis
senting voice, it carried.

Strain, chairman; Councilman Dyer
and Councilman Stroble. Though the
committee has not yet met to outline
| its work it is the intention of the
committeeman to go deeply and thor
oughly into the matter and to do so
as quickly as possible
Last night Mr.. Strain left for the
west end of the county to be gone for
several days and before his departure
he announced that the committee is
desirous of securing all the data pos
sible bearing upon the subject, Coun-
Gilman Dyer, who seconded the mo-
, ton to place the matter in the hands
of the ordinance committee. is like
wise favorable to thorough action.
Club Ladies Pleased.
| Though they modestly ask to be
excused from personal quotation the
members of the ladies civic club ad-
nit today they are well pleased with
the progress that Is being made
towards accomplishing the improve
ment they have desired so long. They
say they did not expect anything like
final action last evening and are en-
tirely satisfied to have the matter left
in the hands of the ordinance COM
mittee with authority to proceed with
an investigation and to prepare an
ordinance with deliberation.
Councilman Ell.
Councilman Joe Ell, who could not
be found for an interview yesterday
declared himself today as favorable
to removing the overhead wires pro-
vided a full investigation of the sub
ject justifies such course. In the
view of Mr.. Ell the placing Of the
wires underground would not neces-
situate the rewriting of buildings bu
would merely mean a change in the
: connecting wires.

CHANGE SHAPES OF
VEHICLE TAX TAGS

In order that the police will have
little difficulty in ascertaining whether
vehicle owners have purchased new
tags the shape of the 1911-12 tag is dis
tinctly different from those used this
year Each classification of vehicle has
a different shaped tag. for instance
those for bicycles last year being
shield shaped, while this year they re-
semble six pointed star. The shapes
of the tags were changed SO that no
vehicle owner could use an out of date
model and thus hope to escape pay
ment of the tax now due. The shapes
of the tags for the different classIfica-
ton of vehicles vary from stars to
bells.
