This is the sum and substance of
the report made last night by the
Cairo delegation that returned from
Springfield to a committee of citi-
Eens in the council chamber.
Mayor Wood made brief state-
ment, but left the matter OF details
to Former Senator Reed Gren. At
torney Angus Leek. Egbert A. Smith
and Sheriff A S. Fraser.
Each recounted in particular the
many manifestations OF friendly feel
| ing that Cairo had received at legis-
latiye hands. They further recount
ed how they had met with courteous
Treatment at the executive mansion
when Governor Dunno played the
part OF host to the delegation.
Governor Dunno, always tactitnrn
land reticent, while -committai
relative to his action In case
the bill passes both houses. sought
| no refuge in the use Of disingenuous
linguistic antiquities, but positive
lily asserted that he would not Sign a
lbill which contained certain provis-
lions which did not agree with hts
ideas relative to .'letting down the
bars and establishing a precedent
(which would permit raid upon the
Treasury of the State CT Illinois.
However, the delegation feel as
sured from the warmth of the man
ner of Governor Dunno, which was
evidenced toward them following
the last conference, that the bill
would receive his endorsement. Ii
| the Objectionable provision was
eliminated from the bill. in addition
to an amendment which will pro-
wide that the expenditure of this
lk250 600 is under the direction OF
the Rivers and Lakes G mmission OF
the state of Illinois.
| In appearing before the commit
tees of appropriations Attorney Leek
Gifted precedents showing that the
appropriation was constitutional, the
particular cases being the $4,000
900 made by the state when Chicago
was visited by the great fire in 1871
and citing decision OF the Supreme
Court of Wisconsin relating to an
appropriation of $50, ,00O in aiding a
|. city visited by fire, the court ruling
that the appropriation was constl-
tutional in view of the fact that II
was made in protecting life and
! property. The point had been
raised that the gift by the state was
unconstitutional but In its opinion
the court held that the people OF the
tcommunity pay taxes and therefore
are entitled to protection, the fact
that ii being only community made
! II none the less a matter in which
the whole state was Interested.

Approximately s1,500.00 is still
due the City. of Cairo in taxes from
local fire insurance agencies. the
law providing thar they shall pay
annually two per cent upon all
premiums paid by them.
One OF the agents yesterday paid
in $433S5 for taxes upon premiums
collected from June 80, 1911, to
June 30, 1912, but there is still due
the city by this agency $431.6S as a
tax upon premiums from June 80,
1909 to June 80, 1910 this agency
having paid the tax for the year
from June so, 1910 to June 80,
1911.
Another firm is indebted in the
sum of $260.s5 from June 80, 1911
