One of his friends or perhaps it was one of his ' enemies knew that the fidgety guy was to be there. So they met. Whe fellow' who didn't like the fidgety guy had a little innocent piece of thread protruding from his button hole in the lapel of his coat It stuck out prominently. The two began to talk.

Councilman Kellaher announced yes terday that he would Us the referen dum on the vehicle tax ordinance which' passed the council Thursday If Mayor Lane did not veto it H. said that If Mayor Lane vetoed th ordinance he did not believe that the measure would be passed over the veto because six members of the council voted against the measure and nine for it - In order to pass the ordinance over Mayor Lane's veto 10 votes would be required, and Mr. Kellaher does not believe th de fenders of the act can get th extra vote. Councilman Kellaher takes his stand in the belief that he is backed up by nearly all the large business Interests of the olty who fought the measure for nearly a year In the council. He says that the measure stands at present di rectly In opposition to th wish of , a large majority of citizens and that It will ro down In defeat before th refer endum. Ask Redaction in Bat. About a year ago the Draymen's asso ciation came to the council and asked that the vehicle tax ordinance be changed so as to reduce the tax against their vehicles from $20 a year to 8S, which amount they claimed was the maximum for any city on the Pacific coast This was the start of the fight to change the ordinance which has been steadily opposed by Councilman Kella her. Many new ordinances were drafted and submitted to the license committee of the council, which finally Introduced one taxing all vehicles used for hire. Upon the introduction of the ordinance. Councilman Menefee introduced a. euh. stltute ordinance which classified the various vehicles and provided for a general taxation of every carriage or wagon in the city save those for pleas ure only. . Representative business men oppose the present ordinance, claiming that it Is illegal and cannot be sustained in juicy m xney are opposed to the measure becaue it rimu. on extra burden upon them that is not warranted or tne reason or thoir m cunuueung tnoir business.

Councilman Menefee based his ordi nance on th belief that any person who uses the streets of the city would be glad to pay a small sum each year to aid in keeping them In good condi tion. He said he did not believe It would work a hardship on any person or firm whom It would affect and would result in general good to th city. Great Interest was manifested In th ordinance and . its fate was watched closely by friend and foe alike. Hot debates preceded Its . passage and the feeling has not diminished yet The interest In th battle has been turned Cronv -JJm ouncU -pbgm&er, Jo.

SHINING COLLEGE SHOES Bootblack's Low Rate Not by Any , Means a Loss to Him. (New Tork Sun.) At one of th colleges there Is a boot black who advertises a monthly rate of SO cents and a yearly rate of $8.60 for an unlimited number of shines. Some on figuring on th basis Of forty weeks to a college year made It out that a student could get about 111 worth of 'shines for 88.60. "I don't see how that pays you," ho said to the bootblack. "Well, It means that If I can get enough men to start with I caa begin each year with a surety of an income of more than $1,000," the bootblack said. "Tou see. at the start of the college year, when the students have money, they don't mind paying 88.60, and then they are fixed for the year. "They figure out that the flat rate is better for them than having to pay each time. Then, again if they took get less of them, I think. - aaJ t W ' i a.
