Regulating THE JIT
City Council Passes Traffic 0rdin-
ance For Fair Week.

Oskaloosa city council had special
and extended session Friday evening
with all members present but Snyder,
to wrestle with the taxi problem and
the subject was, approached from all
angles.
Out from extended discussions as to
how to handle the matter of outside
traffic that will longest at the west
end of G avenue during the fair dates
| of next week, the council left it to the
mayor, the. solicitor and the chief of
police to confer with fair officials to
establish traffic rules for G avenue and
I street. The city will cooperate with
the fair association in whatever is
right, just and best for all concerned.
When the council got down to the
matter of license for hacks, .taXis and
| iitneys, some more difficulty was ex-
lperienced. But out OF the argument
and talks came the passage OF an
amendment to ordinance. "a that es-
tablishes a license of two dollars a
| day for each and every day OF oper-
alton of hacks, autos or other means
of conveyance of passengers operated
| by resident of the town, other than
those regularly established and ad-
lvertisel in the business. License of
three dollars day. will be collected
from those residing out side of town,
for each and every day Of operation,
and the license will be collected in adj
vance for all days of camp meeting,
yearly meeting, fair, festival or other
entertainment, at which hacks desire
to operate. -
| That is, If man from outside of
| Oskaloosa wants to operate a hack
during FIVE days Of the fair he Will
! pay license of $1,000. From an auto
owner resident within the city limits
fee of ten dollars will be collected for
five days. To those regularly in the
business of Transporting passengers
for hire license will be issued without
charge. But only for the number Of
vehicles regularly operated by indi'
vidual company or association is no
charge made. Should they seek to on
lerate additional conveyances they will
be charged a license Of two dollars
per day for. each additional vehicle
operated .o - -- -... g..
-, After personally investigating the
problem upon the ground, the ruling
was made that all taxis, jitneys, or
other articles hauling passengers to
and from the grounds will travel via
High avenue and ! street, both to and
from the ground. Ample space. will
be provided for turning, loading and
discharging passengers. This viii

SAVE DOG
Costs Mrs. Hobbs the Loss OF a Leg
and Other Severe Injuries.

An attempt to save a pet dog from
being run over by an M. & st. l..
switch engine Sunday afternoon re-
suited in Mrs. Anna Hobbs, colored

CINE No. Cd and her right leg and left

returning from church about 1850
Sunday afternoon, crossed the M. K
st. J.. tracks at d avenue, as the
switch engine working in the east
yards, was leaving the round house.
Her. dog ran in front of the engine
and in attempting to rescue the pet,
Mrs. Hobbs was knocked down and
the wheels of the, engine and tank
passed oyer her lower limbs. The
city ambulance was called and the
victim was taken to the ~Oskaloosa
hospital, where her right limb was
amputated, being taken off just below

other women was returning from

Intersection for short conversation.
When they saw the engine coming
south. they separated, part going east
and part west. Mrs. Hobbs dog
ran back upon the track, and in an
effort to save the animal, Mrs. Hobbs
was run over!
Engineer P. A. Quackenbush and
Fireman George Gibbons say the en-.
CINE was moving slowly, making but
five miles per hour. The engine
boiler hid Mrs. Hobbs. east of the
locomotive, from Quackenbush, who
knew nothing of the accident until
Fireman Gibbons yelled, Hold her
When the engine stopped, the rear
tank wheels were over the unfortup'
ate woman's body. Moving their en-
CINE forward, Quackenbush and Glib
bons jumped down and dragged the
unconscious form from the tracks
The fireman saw Mrs. Hobbs going
back after the dog and yelled a
warning, but before the engine could
be stopped she was dragged beneath
the wheels. .f .r Sc,
