CITY COLLECTS TAX
BY NEW METHOD

The recent ruling OF City Council
that Building Inspector Preston
should issue no permits for alterations
or repairs on any building on which
all city taxes have not been paid is
bearing fruit. In most cases own
ers attend to the tax before asking
for the building permit. but some,
evidently thinking the matter is a
joke, have learned on application for
building permits that the orders Of
City Council are being strictly en-
forced.

At least four of the Republican
members OF the committee are op-
posed TO the bonus in any form. The
six Democratic members have not
reached any conclusion IN the bonus
fight. They are viewing the prob
lem from a political angle and are
naturally seeking partisan advan-
tage.
Probably one-half OF the Demo-

tatives line up against the bonus.
These Senators will uphold the pol
icies Of the Wilson Administration
in dealing with the bonus situation
and vote against any measure that
may be reported by the Finance
Committee.
A Republican member OF the Fin
ance Committee who II opposed TO
the bonus on general principles this
afternoon said that regardless OF the
predictions OF individual Senators
any attempt OF the American Legion
to stampede that committee into re-
porting the bonus bill would be de-
feRted.
The same Senator said the mem
