Reading In City Council
An ordinance authorizing the Med

contracts for sale of water outside

presented to the council last night at

Table Fehl's Demand.
A long communication from County
Judge Earl H. Pehl, insisting that all
lights be turned on again on Sixth
street, where some were recently dls-
' connected at a saving of $111 a
month to the city, was read and laid
on the table Indefinitely. The com
munication was read by Mayor E. M.
Wilson. The saving accomplished by
the recent economy was reviewed by
Prank Rogers, building and light in
spector, who stated that the city had
received much praise upon Its action
In turning off the lights In other
sections of the city, and particularly
for the elimination of streamer lights.
Pehl, In his communication, In
cluded the original petition for light
ing of Sixth street and described the
economical move by the council as
"an arbitrary act."
Councilman W. M. Olemenson mov
ed that the matter be laid on the
table Indefinitely and the motion was
passed.

The question of audit of the city
books was Introduced and the coun
cil voted to ask for bids on a flat
sum basis.
Councilman 0. O. Darby read the
report of the license committee re
. gardlng the request of A. S. Wells for
a decrease In taxi license fees. The
committee recommended maintenance
. of the present tax In preference to
the reduction to $25. The recom
mendation was approved by the coun
cil. Mr. Wells appeared before the
city dads again last night, claiming
that the license was too high and
that taxi operators are Imposed upon.
The council men maintained that a
lowering of the tax would bring into
the city a lot of cheap competition,
making matters still worse for the
existing companies.

SALES TAX
DEPARTS AS
PLANS LOOM
By Mary Oralner Kelly
SALEM, Feb. 8. (Spl.) The Barnes
shelter exemption bill Is out of tho
running and two brand new sales
tax bills will make their debut In the
house this afternoon. This Is the
latest dope smuggled out of the leg
islation and rules committee room
late today.
The three percent sales tax provis
ion of the Barnes bill was what
sounded its death knell, It Is said.
It had all those who balked at Che
general two percent tax on Its neck,
and also those who held two percent
as the limit. The $1500 shelter ex
emption was another bone of conten
tion. Some thought It too high and
others thought It too low.
One of the two new bills now un
dergoing final churning In the com
mittee room around the corner, Is
similar to the general sales tax de
feated In the special session.
The other one provides for a whole
sale tax of one half of one percent;
a service tax of one percent and a
retail sales tax of two percent. The
highlight of this bill la that no tax
will be collected on personal property
the theory being that the proceeds
for tho direct tax or personal pro
perty tax Is entirely disproportionate
to the amount of personal property

Under the "service tax" provision
of the bill will fall the services of
