Against Anti-Pass Bill.


If the anti-pass bill, which passed
the Kentucky house of representa-
tives. gets through the senate in the
same form it will be in spite or strong
opposition on the part of Louisville.
II is pointed out the bill would not
only prevent the giving of passes by
common carriers, but would deprive
policemen and firemen of the cities,
as well as county peace officers, of
their privilege of riding free while in
uniform on street railway and interur-
ban lines. There are between $50 and
LOCO policemen and fremen in Louis
vile, and it is estimated that on an
average they ride to and from their
homes on the street cars three times
a day while on duty. To meet this ex-
pense the city would have to increase
its salaries approximately $4,000 a
month or about 100000 annually.
