QUEEN CITY GOING
IN MEMPHIS TRAE
Big River Deal Made In Cincinnati
and Plans are Made TO Extend
Memphis Cincinnati
Boat Trade.

The Cincinnati Times-Star says: A
revival of the acknowledgements riv-
err trade and an improvement in the
traffic between Cincinnati and Louis
vile are included in plans of those
who bought the controlling interests
of Commodore f. A. Laidley in the
Louisville and Cincinnati Packet COM
pany, formal transfer being made
Wednesday. This announcement was
made by Captain w. e. Roe, general
manager and treasurer of the reor-
ganized company. "The steamer
Queen City, which formerly operated
in the Pittsburgh-C Cincinnati trade,
will be placed in the Cincinnati and
Memphis division and will make trip
every ten days" said Captain Roe
AT presents the Queen City will be
used to take the place of the America
in the Louisville trade until her re-
pairs are completed"
The deal involves four steamboats,,
America, Kentucky, Vim and Lucinda.
The latter was wrecked by the ice last
winter, but can be rebuilt. The Vim
operates between Madison and Louis
Vile. Commodore Laidley Thursday
said he had sold his stock for $3.50, 900.
Sickness and the loss of those two
fine stpamers the Cincinnati and
Louisville, last winter, were the chief
reasons for selling out" said Commo-
dore Laidley. Labor trouble was al
so becoming a source of great worry"
Commodore Laidley has owned and
operated boats out of Cincinnati for
81 years.

sideration of proposals made by the

les and essential expenditures.

$500 above $4,000 on the sale price
of automobiles an additional tax of
$50 will be levied.

year. The tax on the use of automo-
biles and motorcycles is expected to
yield about $125,OOO,OOO The tax on
manufacturers and importers of au-
tomobiles gross sales fixed at 10 per
cent. previously agreed upon, is es-
timated as capable of yielding an adj
ditional $7O,OOO,OOO. Tax of 2 cents

line also was decided upon by the
committee yesterday II is estimated
this tax will turn $5OO0,OOO into the
treasury annually.

upon the retail list price of the car
at the time of manufacture and 1t will
have to be paid whether the owner,
is using II or not Putting the car
out of service in a garage will not OK
empt the owner from the tax.
