Council Extends HOLIDAY
For Delinquent Taxpayers
80 PER CENT MEASURE
DEADLINE NOW OC-
TOBER 1ST; APPROVE
LICENSE REVISION

City Council voted, 4 to 3. last
night TO extend the concession TO
delinquent tax payers. allowing
settlement of taxes on a 80 per-
cent basis beyond the original
July 7th deadIine to October lst
of this year. Councilmen Carbo-
nell. GriIlon. Sweeting and Free
man voted for the extension and
Councilmen Boyden. Brinton and
Ramsey against If.
This measure allows delinquent
taxpayers to settle taxes for
years prior to 1887 on a 30 per-
cent basis providing taxes for
1878 and 80 are paid in full.
An amendment offered by
Councilman CarbOnell making
further concessions to owners of
property bought in Murphy sales,
by allowing the 30 percent settle
ment to extend through 1887 to
1889, was thought discriminatory
by five of the councilmen, Coun-
cilmen CarbOnell and Grillon
being the only affirmative votes
on the measure.
New Liquor Ordinance
The council took recognition
of the confusion in liquor license
matters in the city by voting, 4
to 3. (the same division of votes
as on the tax meaSures) passage
on first reading of an ordinance
that will bring city laws into
conformity with state laws, eS-
pecially in regard to enforcement
of the school code.
Opposition to the ordinance
summed up chiefly in the argu-
ment that the change shouldn't
be made until October, when Ii
censes were due. Those favoring
the ordinance pointed out that
adoption of it would mean that
many establishments would be
forced out of business in present
locations. and that time should
be allowed for different sites to
be chosen if owners so desired.
In connection with municipal
action in the matter of settle
ment of taxes on lands involved
in Murphy sales, the council vO-
ted to defray expenses of AttOr-
ney Aquilino Lopez, Jr.. to
meeting of city attorneys called
to discuss the matter to be held
in Orlando, Monday, June "a. Ac-
ton by the council, it was under
stood, would be dependent upon
attorney Lopez recommendation.
The appearance of represen-
tative of a fire hose company be-
fore the council to explain the
quality of his hose was not al
lowed in that the Finance COM
mittee had voted yesterday after
noon to issue a call for bids from
all companies handling fire hose,
the bids to be returned in one
weeks time from issuing date.
This had reference to the action
taken to purchase 1000 feet OF
booster hose at last meeting.
City attorney was instructed
to draw up a resolution for pre-
sentation at the next regular
meeting calling for establishment
of a plumbers code in the city,
with reference to equipment,
operation of business inspection
requirements.
On action of the council, funds
to the amount of $500 were Dor
rowed from the Aquarium fund
to help make a payroll of a
quarter of a month for today.

In that the regular date for the
next meeting falls on July 4th,

The engine throbbed, the car

Certainly mott" Bradish snap
ped it back impatiently. "Matt
had lived with the thing under
his nose for twenty eight years
without waking up to it. It was
his property, but my find. I made
him an offer for the whole ranch
through an agent, of course
and got the answer that it wasn't
for sale. At his death I repeated
my offer to his daughter. In the
meantime, by way of being on
the ground, and because it runs
right up to the Circle V line
along Turkey Gulch, I bought in
the Rancho Ceballos when the old
man died and installed an agent
there"
Why" Lees voice demanded,
when you put in your manager,
did you pick out crook like
Slanty Gano?"
Eve took Gano on" said Bra
dish crisply, because he knew
too much. He found us in Num-
Der Three tunnel, using picks and
putting samples in our sacks. It
couldn't be helped, but it was a
bad move. Gano was a quarrel
some loafer who turned out to be
a scoundrel and a murderer. No
body regrets that more than I do,
but I'm not responsible for his &C
tons"
Lee was looking at Stanley and
slowly opening a little sheaf OF
papers.
There is one thing more. A
few days ago you made accusa-

You got your information from
