Gas and Coke Company Will
Pay Fee of $4200 Annually
Instead of a flat license fee of $1500 a year, the Portland Gai &
Coke company will pay about $4200 year with enactment of an
ordinance by the city council Monday night which makes the fee
1 per cent of gross earnings on the company's Salem business.
As introduced the bill provided for 3 per cent, but this was
changed to 1 per cent on mo-
tion of Alderman Dan J. try
who had introduced the bill. The
measure is effective January 1
It puts the utility on a gross
earnings basis as other utilities,
although the rates range from
1 to 3 per cent for different con
cerns. Bruce Williams Elected

pro tem city Judge to succeed
the late William H. Crawford.

been approved by the city
planning and zoning commis
sion, were set for October 10.

tion abolishing Rule 16 of the
council which requires the
mayor to use the words "Shall
the title of the bill be the title
of the ordinance" after passage
of an ordinance bill.

water commission. The commis
sion employed the attorneys.
