Kellaher ' accused the dray men of violating the Beldlng anti-trust ordinance and of being in a combination to restrain competition. Kellaher be lieves his proposed ordinance will be accepted finally, though he anticipates strong opposition. t The municipal regulation of rates was proposed by Kellaher as an amend ment to the ordinance, under consider ation which proposes to decrease the present license of drays by licensing all vehicles Indiscriminately. It was supported by Kellaher and Beldingr. The draymen now pay a tax of 320 annually for a double team and $10 for a single- horse, but the new ordinance provides a tax on an vehicles or 3d a year drawn by two horses and $2.60 ror single equipages. ' Think Xsdnctlon Only Sight. In view of this reduction of 76 per cent in the tax imposed on the dray men Kellaher believes there should be some corresponding reduction In the rates charged the people by draymen. The teamsters-on the other hand are not willing; to reduce their rates and assert that they are now taxed beyond the rate Imposed In other coast cities and that the reduction is due them by ine city wunou lurtner consideration, The councilman has preoared a scala Which he minks tne traffic can safelv bear without ruining the business and Is open In his accusations of an un lawful combination entered into by the draymen.
