C0UN(IlMEN GET MANY REQUESTS
 FOR CAB STANDS
Applications Will Be De- lided on dt Special
 Meeting

|. The City Council received bar rage of letters at their regular meet ing last night, all from proprietors questing permits to establish park ing zones on South Franklin Street.
 Foremost among the requests was one made by Don Lozzie, proprietor of the Sta. Cab Company, the only company affected by an ordinance passed at the councils last meet ing which abolished taxi stands lon the southerly side of Front Street and South Franklin Street from the intersection of Front Street and South Seward Street to a place opposite to the intersection of South Franklin Street with Ewing Way, or on either side of Seward Street, or on either side of Second. Third or Fourth Streets
 The new ordinance also provided that no taxi stands could be estab- lished on any street within the city limits except on written application to the City Council. Previously, taxi stand privileges had been granted by the Chief of Police
 Lozzie now has applied for a stand across the street from his former location, having secured the approval of affected property owners and proprietors of business houses. He asks room for two taxis. The stand which he formerly oc- cupied, and which was abolished by the new ordinance, had been a stand for many years
 The day after the ordinance was passed, Lozzie was arrested, charged with parking in an illegal zone, and posted $50 bond. Hearing was set for the following Monday and Loz- zie appealed the case to District Court where it now is pending. He ccntended that the ordinance af- fected him unfairly.
 Letters of application also were received from Mrs Beulah Lee of the Royal Blue Cab Company, and J. V. Hickey of the Yellow Cab Company, both requesting stands on South Franklin Street. The Royal Blue Company's application requests space for one taxi in the same stand for which Lozzie has applied, in front of the Seward Building.
 The requests were referred to committee and will be decided on at a special meeting next Tuesday evening.

 George Black, Conservative from Yukon Territory, told the House of Commons that the proposed route recommended involved 1900 miles of most difficult terrain" and said further that if the United States wants to get men and supplies quickly to Alaska they could send them by rail to Prince Rupert. thence by boat via the inland pas sage to Skagway, a water route well protected by line of islands, and from Skagway the men and supplies could go by rail to White horse from where good roads and air and water routes branch out to all parts of Alaska.

Chonse Designed TO Prevent SoIes

position, and the senate COM
mittce offered a compromise
that would permit sale of 1885,
100000 bushels of surplus wheat
for livestock feed.
Some members from corn pro-
ducing areas, however, have eX-
pressed fear that this would re-
suit in depressing the price OF
corn. To meet that objection,
supporters of the committee
amendment proposed a limita-
ton requiring that any wheat
sales for livestock feed be at
prices not lower than 85 per cent
of the parity price of corn. or
approximately 83 cents a bush

Senator Gillette (D-Ia) OPP

that he was standing on the
principle that none of these pro-

parity.

NEW YORK, May 1872
Millions Of lights from the New
York metropolitan area con-
tinue to throw gov into the
sky, etlhing ships against per-
feet backdrop to ma e them
targets for the enemy at night.
This was the conclusion
reached by news men last night
after cruising several miles out
to sea from New York harbor to
observe the results of drastic
new regulations designed to les
sen the city's skyWard illumina-
ton.
They were invited by the
Army and requested to report
only what they saw. They saw
a massive cloud of light stretch
ing for miles along the shore.
While there was no official
comment, an army officer who
has watched the progress of sue
cessive attempts to decrease the
lighting effect expressed belief
that some strides had been
made although much remained
to be done.
He said he believed the new
rules, affecting almost all citi-
zens in one way or another, had
brought about an improvement
but acknowledged that further
study was needed.

(, WASHINGTON, May 19-(P)
Successful in obtaining Sen
ate increases in farm security
funds voted by the house, farm
bloc members squared off on
two fronts today for new bat
tie over maintaining parity pric-
es for agricultural commodi-
ties.
The price issue was before
the senate in the form Of an
amendment TO the S680,000,0 900
agriculture appropriation bill
designed TO prevent sales of gov
ernment-held crop SURPRISES be-
low parity levels.
Another phase of the contro-
Versy came up in the Senate
banking committee, which met
to reconsider legislation grant
ing broad authority to the re
construction finance corporation
to buy and sell commodities up
on request of the price admins
traitor.
Farm bloc members said they
feared any such authority would
enable the government to sell
farm commodities below pari-
ty. Chairman Wagner (D-NY)
expressed confidence that the
committee would be able TO sat
isfy the farm group.
The united front which en-
abled the latter yesterday to
win a boost of $25,000,000 in
FSA cash and 55,008,008 in
borrowing authority to make ru-
raj rehabilitation grants a n d

by a controversy over the price
