BONDS ADVOCATED
BY TOWN COUNCIL
Highland Park Citizens Invited
to Express Their Opinion at
Public Meeting.

Citizens OF Highland Park will be
invited to express their views on the
question Of bond issue for public i'm
provements. according to the decision
reached by the Town Council last
night. A meeting for the general dis
cussion of the subject was called for
March d 1t will he held in the town
hail, and Mayor George w. Bahllte will
preside.
Every member of the Council is in
favor Of issuing bonds. The only point
at which they hitch is the amount. The
majority are of tho opinion that the
full amount of money allowed by law
should be borrowed. They argue that
it is cheaper in the long run to sell
the larger amount of bonds and place
the surplus money out at interest than
to sell two or three small issues at a
large discount. The terms under which
the last lot were sold was far from
satisfactory.
it Is thought that the majority of
voters favor the issuance OF bonds
At the last meeting OF the Citizens
and one ballot only was cast against
the scheme. 1t will require n ma
jority vote. and rs there are o40 quail
fed voters in the town, it will DO

est to carry out the plans OF the Coun-
Gil.
Among the other measures consid-
cred by the Council was the matter

Manager Marshall is planning to lay

CITY LICENSE TAX
TESTED IN COURTS
Appeal Allowed Involving Rich.
mond's Rights in Licensing
Insurance Agents.

The right OF the city Of Richmond
to impose a license tax on managers
of local departments of resident
insurance companies will be tested In
the Supreme Court Of Appeals of Vir-
Binia, That there is possibility Of
doubt in the matter is shown by tho
fact that the court yesterday allowed
II writ OF error on tho appeal of d.
II. Tabb from a decision Of the IIust-
ings Court
MIR. Tabb was summoned to Police
Court for operating as an insurance
agent without n license. and was fined
$40. He appealed to the Hastings
Court, and there under construction
placed upon the law by Judge Ernest
II. Wells, he was fined s25. From thie
he takes his appeal.
In support Of his contention against
the city, Mr.. Tabb states that he is
district superintendent for Richmond
OF the Southern Mutual Aid Associa-
ton, of Birmingham, Ala, ella ssed as
an industrial sick benefit society. Or
ganizations of this sort are exempt
from certain parts OF license taxation,
and il is the claim of the defendant
that n representative of the company
cannot be assessed with tax which
Is not chargcable TO the company IT
self He denies that he is an agent
within the correct definition OF that
term. but that he manages the agents
in the Richmond Office who actually
solicit insurance.

Tho resources of the Association Chari-
Ties, already strained TO the breaking
point, gave way entirely under tile ap-
peals, and unless the public responds
immediately with donations of food
clothing and fuel, hundreds must be
turned away empty handed. and per-
haps tho doors OF the Associated Chart
ties closed.
For the first time in years, the Of
iccrs Of the Associated Charities havo
had to confess that the public of Rich

appeals for aid. IT requires severe
weather to remind the ilanncl-clad
man that food, clothing and fuel is al
ways needed by the poor i'll winter, and
the spring-liko temperatures of this
season have caused a deplorable shrink
age of the Associated Charities funds
Although the public has not realized
the fact, this mild winter has provided
unusual work for tho Associated Chari-
TIES. Appeal after appeal has follow
ed the epidemic of measles which has
already stricken nearly 1000 among
the rich and poor. The poor, however
have as usual been the worst sufferers
Sickness in families that are support
ed by widowed mothers or daughters
who are orphans. has thrown the bread
winning member OF the family out of
work, and almost invariably the As
sociatcd Charities has been called upon
to supply the food and fuel, and some
times clothing and medicine, which is
so seriously needed.
The epidemic had already drained
this years meagrc charity fund when
the cold snap Sripped the city ycstcr-
day, and in the face OF the sudden
emergency, tho officials found them
selves unable to meet the increasing
demands. The fact that it was prac-
tlcaliy tho first cold spell of tho win
ter only intensified tho suffering of the

the pleas for clothing and fuel Ex-
pecting continuation of the balmy
uhHs OF the early winter, the poor were
