WOULD TAX every
THING ON wheels
COMMISSIONER DONSING has \
NEW PLAN OF CITY
TAXATION.

The collection Of tax on everything
on wheels is proposed by G. NJ. Down
inS, city commissioner of streets and
public property.
The matter was suggested by him In
open commission meeting yesterday.
There is no reason why buggies
and bicycles should not be taxed" said
Commissioner Downing. They charge
automobiles a yearly license and they
do not injure the paving at all. In
fact, they help It, by ironing it out
But anyone who owns an automO-
bile can afford to pay n nominal IL
ccnse, interposed Commissioned
Comedy.
Il don't care about that" said Com
missioner Downing, ITS the principle
of the thing I'm talking about. The
buggles and the bicycles use the streets
and injure them, so why shouldn
they pay for the prlvIlege?"
The street commissioner sugges-
tlOn did not meet with much favor
able response from the board. so he
dropped the proposition temporarily.
