BRUGHT BEFORE COMMISSION

Continued from page u
mans statement the matter was
brought to q close.
j. r. Stephens, proprietor of steves
Bus and Baggage Company, appeared
before the board and entered objec.
tions to his being classed as a Service
car man, which placed him under the
regulations recently passed in an ordi.
nance by the city commissioners and
which requires the payment Of a IL
cense Of S12 per year for each car op-
Grated. Mr.. Stephens stated that he
Is operating ten cars, occupies two
buildings on which he pays rent, and
feed" IL families Of employee, all Of
whom live in Ardmore and rent Ard
more residences. Mr.. Stephens made
plea for the recognition Of the man
who was a resident of Ardmore and
who was a legitimate business man
here with a well established trade,
from the one-car man, who lived out
Of town and had no investments here
whatever. The present tax Of Sl2,
said Mr. Stephens, offered no protec-
AlOii " iOllAt lOlhSs MI SltDituS
asked that it either be made a free
for-all proposition, or that flat tax
Of $50 or 500 be levied.
Commissioner Eddleman was of the
opinion that it would not be right to
levy such a high tax because the
man who owned a car would have
TO pay as much as the man who owned
more cars and had more money.
We'll" said Mr.. Stephens, ITS
hard luck If the one car man does not
own dozen"
Tom Carter, former city commits
sioner, and who operates a baggage
line in this city was present and
concurred in opinion with Mr.. Ste
phens. Mr.. Carter spoke in favor Of
an occupation tax on the service car
business 10 be figured on the per-
centage of the amount Of money in
vested in the business. He favored
a tax Of $50 or 500 regardless of the
number Of cars operated.
The mayor and several members OF
the board expressed Themselves as
favoring an ordinance which would
show some consideration for the man
who was established here, and who
rented local property and employed
local labor No definite action was
taken on the subject, but the city at
torney may draw up an ordinance
which will be satisfactory 10 all con
cerned in the near future.
The meeting OF the commissioners
and mayor was held last night instead
of Friday, because Of the commence
ment exercises which will be held for
the Ardmore schools.
