COUNCIL WILL TRY FOR 75c POLE TAX Mayor Bloom Casts Decid- ing Vote Against Amend

DISCUSS FLOOD LOSS
Mayor Urges Council to Immediately Take Steps to Prevent Recurrence of Flood Conditions, and Gen.
 serve Public Health,

The council last night refused by vote of ) 70 to return to the ordinance committee the ordinance fixing tax on telephone, and tele- graph pcles, and as a result, the old tax of lo cents per pola still stands and the indications are plan that a lively legal fight is about to start With the city the aggressor.
 At it's last previous meeting. trG ccuncil instructed the ordinance ccmmitte'2 to prs pare an ordinances, making the tax 75 cents per pole It became known later that the ordi- nance then existing placed the tax d that figure. In the meantime, Mayor Bloom, Alderman McG,Dbony who is chairman of the ordinance committee, and others, had ascer- tained that the telegraph and tele- phone compan4es will not pay the tsx of D cents per pole without legal fight, letter from the general attorney of the telephone company to that effect having been received.
 Alderman McGibbony last nigh, noved that the council return to the ordinance committee the ordinance fixing the tax on poles, a2d then the discussion started. Finally, vote was taken, which resulted to 4. Aldermen Franey, Hut, Veil and Bahlau voted against returning the ordinance to the committee, for amendment which would lower the tax to 50 cents, although that spe- cific fact was not mentioned in the motion. Aldermen Simpson, McG1b- bony, Johnson and Niven voted to return the ordinance to the commit tee. In breaking the tie by voting against the return of the ordinance to the committee, Mayor Bloom an nounced that there was no specific mention of the intention of the com mittcc to fix the tax at any one figure hence he would vote no.
 Collector w. V. Hut mentioned to the council that when the city tries to collect the tax of 75 cents per pole it will find all the telegraph and telephone companies solid againse payment, which will bring on a law suit Alderman Bahlau said in reply

 Mayer Pleads for Health.
 Mayor Simon Bloom last night made. a strong talk to the councll on the vital necessity of doing some thing for the health of the city, by preventing the annual loss of money and health through the conditions which prevail ill the old lake bed.
 q want to ask in particular, I want to plead, with MT. Well, Mir. Niven and MT. Simpson. to help find some plan whereby we can ameli- crate the. conditions. which prevail every year in this respect" he said. 'The city is throwing away $S,000 or $10000 every year by doing the same sanitary work over and over again. am told $6,O0O or $S,O00 or $10,OO0 will prevent such conditions once and for all, ard l want to earnestly ask you gentlemen to do something, to find soma way, to save the heaiun' of the people of this city.

 UrttiSh Win I'm Persia.

Df.tlSu VlH HI AVlSA~s
 This morning the British public was informed that their forces had won a brillian success at point far from the main lines of battle on the continent. Sir PSrcy Cox, at the head of strong naval and military ofrce, has gained 2 foothold at Amara. on the Tigris river, half way from the head of the Persian gulf of the city of Bagdad. During the last few days the Arglo-lndian army operating in this field has captured many prisoners, as we'll as guns and ammunition and has taken a gunboat, steamers and steel bar3es. It is said that the Turkish army op- posed to it is so demoralized that it is doubtful if it will be able to offer serious resistance to further Brit ish advance Tn Mesopotamia.
 The only naval activity of the week end was the engagement at the entrance of the Gulf of Riga, in the Baltc, which, according to Petro- grad. resulted in the sinking of sev- eral German transports and one large unarmed vessel, with the Rus sians losing one auxiliory ship.
 Details of this sea encounter are meager, but it is surmised in London that a majority Of the German ves- ssls concentrated at Kiel came out into the Baltic. It is clear, however. that no battle aauadrons were engag- ed, as the fight was in no sense de- cisive.
 It is expected in London that the Germans will renew their efforts to land troops on the Baltic coSSt of Russia. st
