lar trick last evening on Wall street,‘
three local jltneurs. Olaf Olsen,
Charles Anderson, and Edward Ryan
were hauled up before Judge Lock-
wood this morning. in. the uptown
court. after they had made an un-
successful attempt to operate two tiri-
toniobiles with license plates bear-
ing the same numbers. According to
the story told the judge this morn
ing, Olsen had lent his number plates
to (‘harles Anderson, of the Royal
Iames inn Garage, and had made a
set of home-made markers for his
own use. bearing the same numbers.
Anderson had a license. but had no
markers. Edward Ryan. the drivor
(-t‘ the Olsen jitney, which was held
up by Officer Murray. had a driver‘s
license. but no jltney license. and said
that he didn't know whether there
were any markers on his car or not.
Ryan's case was continued front day
to day. and Olsen and Anderson were
fined seven dollars and costs which
amounted to a total of $15.01 in each
case. for their parts in the affair. Ar-
rests in the matter were made last

ney. The fines and costs were prompt-

question of the 'radicully wrong" tax-

their views of the subject.
The mayor will probably ask to be
authorized to appoint a tax commis-

situation. The commission will hold

From the mass of information thus

dation on which to erect a system
that will be fair to the taxpayer and
city.
Mayor liarstrom looks with some
favor on the appointment of one as-

The mayor admits there is something
wrong with present conditions. lie
points out that although some assess-

which may also be too low
At any rate the matter will be thor-
