CITY COUNCIL
CHECKS Up On
LOCAL DIARIES
Failure To Pay Inspection
Taxes Brings Threat To Pre-
vent Deliveries.

All dairies delivering milk and
cream in Ell Centre which are de-
linquent in their inspection taxes
are to be given a definite period of
time in which to liquidate this de-
linquency or proceedings to pre-
vent them from delivering milk and
cream in the city will be taken by
the city attorney.
This decision was reached during
meeting of the city council last
night when it was pointed out to the
board that several dairies are re-
miss in the payment of these fees
for considerable lengths of time.
The city law provides that each
dairy delivering milk and cream in
the city should pay one-fifth of one
cent per quart of milk or cream so
delivered. This impost is to be used
to pay for the milk inspection SER
vice.
The council approved an agree
ment with the board of supervisors
for the future inspection of milk
according to which this work is to
be done through the county health
office, each city signing the agree
ment to pay its quota of the expen-
ses incident upon such inspection
work. The present agreement was
approved up to July l, 1884, after
which some changes in it will be
made.
After listening to arguments pre-
Sented by a delegation representing
beer dealers in the city and a thor
ough discussion of the question the
council voted to refund all fees for
beverage licenses paid for the first
six months of the current year, this
refund to be made either in cash or
applied to general occupation Ii
cense fees in advance.
Complaint On Trucks
Attention of the council was call
ed to the disturbances caused by
trucking on Broadway, several COM
plants having been brought to the
attention of city officials in this
matter on former occasions. The
question was left to the street COM
missioner and city engineer to in
vestigate and report back to the
board at the earliest opportunity.
The appointments of H. j. Adams,
Jr., as deputy city marshall without
pay and of Jasper Travers and Hen
ry Loud to the city zoning and plan
ming commission, were approved by
| the council.
Mayor Rice appointed the city
council to act as a committee to
serve with other civic and county
! organizations as hosts at the re-
ception and banquet to be given
(, here in honor of Governor Rolph
when he visits Ell Centro on March
%.
Other matters of a routine ma
ture were disposed of by the colln-
Gil, including the approval of the
monthly demands on the city.

FEDERAL CURB
PLANNED UPON
STOCK SALES
Administration Will Sponsor
Bill To Control Exchanges And
Transactions.
BY FREDERICK A. STORM
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

Dg Ss - u ohtAN
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Drastic
control of stock exchanges and the
speculative practices of their men,
bers will be undertaken by the gov
ernment to protect the public under
a bill to be introduced in congress
tomorrow.
The legislation, it was believed in
administration circles, would be
closely in line with President Roose-
velts ideas to stamp out the evils of
widespread stock speculation.
The President several months ago
privately announced his intention
of getting behind regulatory mea-
sure with teeth in it, and the forth
coming bill is regarded as the result.
No administration decision has
been revealed as to whether commo-
dity markets will be regulated by
the measure, and it was generally
felt that this question would be left
to congress, to be dealt with in
amendments, or, if necessary, in a
separate measure.
Decision to speed up introduction
of the bill came at surprise White
House conference last night. Ear
lier the President had indicated that
he would not be ready to discuss
market legislation for several days.
House leaders had indicated desire
to avoid the controversial subject at
this session.
The President suddenly called in
terested parties to confer with him
and details of the legislation were
agreed upon.
Outlaws Pools
1t was authoritatively understood
the bill would outlaw stock pools,
which would be classified as crimin-
al conSpiracies, and their operation
made punishable by heavy fines and
imprisonment.
Stock exchanges and all their
members would be placed under the
close supervision of the federal trade
commission, which would be invest
ed with wide powers to inspect all
records and require periodic reports
from the exchanges and members.
Banks would be prohibited from
lending money for margin transac-
tionS and federal reserve banks
would be prohibited from discount
! ing any loans made to brokers fol
trading on margin.
The sale of foreign bonds in the
United States would be prohibited
for a period of perhaps five years
unless the payment of both interest
and principal is guaranteed by the
firm sponsoring the issue.
Specialists would be licensed and
| bonded heavily. They would be pro-
hibited under severe pentlties from
having either direct or indirect
interest in the stock in which they
were specialists and from dealing in
it, and from disclosing any informa-
ton from their books.

tai, ashes of last night bonfires
hardly ceased from Smouldering, the
uprooted trees, burned newspaper
and flower kioSks, wrecked motor
cars, shattered shop windows, the
heavy patrols of armed police and
soldiers, gave him graphically the
picture of what had happened and
what might happen without the
strong government he wants.

ST. PAUL, MINI Feb. ed
ward G.. Bremen, 36-year-old scion

Paul family, was returned to his
home unharmed today after three
weeks and IL hours in the hands

The abductors asked 100000

been paid.
The son of Adolf Bremen,
friend of President Roosevelt, was
freed near Rochester, Mimi, at

here for questioning.
