SIDEWALK News STANDS

There are 10000 news.stands on the
sidewalks of Chicago.
The City claims the right to issue
permits for these stands wherever 1t
sees fit.
The abutting tenant or property
owner is not consulted or allowed to
interfere.
Moreover the city says what papers
shall. and what papers shall not, be
sold on these stands.
The city permits the sale of daily
papers only under its sidewalk SOW
ereignty.
No weekly papers.
No magazines.
No other publications can be sold.
The city maintains a daily news.
paper monopoly.
Now it orders the abutting residents,
tenants, business men or property
owners to keep the sidewalks clean
for its City Controlled Monopoly.
The city proves its ownership of
sidewalks by placing its iron waste
paper boxes on them.
If citizen plants tree in front
of his home he ceases to own It.
A city ordinance provides that mas
much as all sidewalk space belongs to
the city, all trees belong to the city.
The owner is forbidden to even trim
the trees i'm front of his house until
he pays the city 81 for a permit TO
do so.
And now the city council has passed
an ordinance compelling each citizen
to clean the city's sidewalk within 3
hours after every storm. Sometimes
there are half dozen snow storms in
"a hours.
From this distance It looks as IL
the news.stands will have to go IL the
city can make the serfs, beg pardon,
citizens, keep the city walks nice and
clean for somebody elses business
and profit.

rates must be conceded by the gas
company"
The committee further empowered
Expert Bemis to confer with William
G. Voolfolk and other gas company
representatives regarding the prices
to be charged for gas during the en-
suing period. Mr.. Voolfolk told the
committee the reduction in the heat
ing standard was satisfactory to the

MONEY FOR TAXPAYERS

Real estate owners--payers OF spe.
cial essments-apparently do not
know that there is in excess Of mil.
lion dollars in the city treasury In
the shape of rebates and refunds to
property owners which Is theirs for the
asking. In the annual report Of the
Board of Local improvements the
statement Is made that the property
owners seem disinclined to take the
trouble to collect this money. This
would indicate that the board Is will
ing to help owners II they will help
themselves. The Board of Local I'M
provements has in mind a bill to be
presented to the Legislature, Senate
Bill No. 81, designed to permit the
city to use moneys unclaimed for re.
bates and refunds for more than five
years after the rebates have been de-
clared and property owners notified.

having rebuilt -four. Of our principal
camps, replacing barrack houses with
good, substantial cottages We built
Pa cottages, Ave clubhouse cottages

are over thirty years old, il can readily
be understood why so many buildings
have to be replaced. L think, how
ever, that if we can continue the work

will be in such excellent condition that
we can then cut down our building

.LAUPAHOEHOE MAY GET
HOMEaEADERS' MILL

Reported plans for the construction of
a sugar mill to be operated by and for
homesteaders in Laupahoehoe, Hawaii,
are described in an article in the Hilo
Post under date Of April 8 as follows:
THE recent plans looking forward to
the establishment Of an independent
homestead mill in this place are being,
revived, according TO q communication
in the shape of an inquiry which is said
to have been received from an attorney
in Honolulu by one of the leading NOV,
ers in the former project.
1.-THE hOmesteaders have been unable
to make satisfactory arrangements with
the Laupahoehoe Sugar Company and II
is believed that the mill will eventually
become a reality as result. 1t Il now
proposed to erect the mill upon differ.
eht site to that named In the old plans
and that local real estate owner has
agreed to a 80 year lease on an acreage
sufficient in size for the plant.
1.-THE new proposition Is meeting
with favorable consideration by the
homesteaders who are agreeable TO the
venture and said to be able to get as.
sistance in the way Of finances. Laupa-
hoehoe Is situated In what Is considered
highly suitable location for a mill
notwithstanding that years ago, the
original Papaaloa mill was washed out
to sea by tidal wave, ~. e..
"In case mill is constructed here
it would have large area Of home,
steaders as a feeder and would be
owned, practically by the homesteaders
themselves. However, while the mat,
ter is but ut present in the stage OF
Incubation. definite developments are
predicted by the promoters. /" e.,
