 Hotel keepers are responsible for the col lection of this tax, which is added to the tour ist's bill and the revenue derived from it is spent in improving and rendering more access sbe the different tourist centers.

 But Cost Must Be Gut

"William Mckay should be given one more chance. but if hc doesn't bring the price of the building be low $2G,50O someone else should be given the opportunity to present plans and specifications" With this sentiment expressed by Commission "r Timothy J. Shanahan of the fire board and echoed by others at q special meeting of the commission last evening. the plans of William II. Mckay local architect, for the proposed No. fire station in Bel ViGere were accepted.
 Commissioner Shanahan advocated Mir. Mckay's plans from the begin ming of the meeting. after Chief Will liam J. Noble and Chairman Cor nelius J. Dehm. d committee ap- pointed 10 meet with the architects, had reported that Mckay and Henry I.udorf had refused 10 enter into competition. Mr. Shanahan stated that both Ludorf's plans and those of Mckay We're practically the same, IS far as the interior were concern ed. Both sets Of drawings represent cd practical quarters and apparatus rooms.
 The commissioner said however, that Alckay's idea of the exterior Of fire station lent itself better 10 the character Of the ncishborhood in which It was 10 stand. He said th, . ty-, h. o fI large extent and he was of the opin- ion that the residents of Bolviderc would approve Of such station. "Lf McKay's plans are accepted and are carried out as planned the house will be a monument to the present fire board" he said.
 Chiof Noble called attention to the fact that Mckay has already had several chances and has SO far been unable to bring the cost Of the house within the Inark Of $2G.5od.
 "But he told this board that he could do that" argued Commissioner Shanahan.
 files said that before" replied the chief. who stated his belief that fl he doesn't come within the appro- priation next time, all further action with him should b" terminated, and other plans consiJercd. This senu- ment was approved by the board. "1'nlaas," said the chief aS an after thought. the chairman wishes to go before the common council with petition for d larger appropriation.'
 NO sir" replied Chairman Dehm. "I will not go before the council as chairman of this board, and ask for more money,'
 All members of the board admired the Mckay house, although they agreed il was difficult 10 choose be tween his and Ludor('s, Upon mo- ton of Commissioner Michael King, seconded by Commissioner Shana- han. McKay'S plans were accepted with certain changes specified by the board.
 The matter of securing q 75o gal lon bumper for the new house was also taken up and, after somo dis cussion, the clerk was instructed 10 secure specifications from several fire engine companies, including the sragrnves, Stuiz, American la- France.
