PlrslVHnler OrK.iul/c In Oppoiltluii to Motor t'oinpiiiiy Tj ninny. The meeting of the residents and property owners of the Sixth ward last Friday night to organl/e in opposition to the motor com pany was followed by a similar meeting in the First ward last evening. A largo num ber of the residents of that ward gathered in Wheulcr & Herald's oftlco and discussed motor affairs , nnd especially the subject of a 5-cetit fare. The meeting was put In shape by the se lection of li U. Besiey as chairman and II , G. McOeo secretary. .I.-K. Bell , John Clausen , and Alexander Wood were ap- iwlntcd vice presidents. After James McCabe - Cabo had made one of his characteristic red- hot speeches Hgalr.st the motor company , in which ho outlined the history of the last few years as It Is known to the readers of Tun Bur , a committee was appointed to draw up n set of resolutions. Tins resolu tion , which requested the city council to begin war upon the motor company in every way possible , will bo presented at the meetIng - Ing next Tuesday evening , and n committee of First warders will be on hand to see that it receives its duo share ot attention from the city dads. The plan of warfare suggested in the speeches last evening was ono of taxation. The courts have decided that a corporation's roiling stoclr , its franchlse and all Its prop erty , even down to its poles in the streets , are subject to taxation , and from this de cision it ia evident that the motor company has not been paying into th § city treasury anything like the amount of money that could bo legally collected from it. The city authorities , consequently , have it in their power to make the climate a great deal wanner for this unruly corporation than it has so far proved , and the council will be re quested to do all In Its power to have the kindling wood split and the coal oil poured on. Two wards have so far organized in this manner , and it is announced that within the next live days every other ward in tno city will bo in readiness for an active anti-motor campaign. This movement looks forward to the coming spring election , at which a mayor and four aldermen arc to be elected , and the question of a reduced fare will doubtless DO an issue at that tiuio as it was two years ago , and it Is to be hoped wit.h more success. i I.

To the Editor of 1'nc BEK : Fomo years ago when Mr. Burus vas superintendent of the old horse car lines 10 told the writer , that when ho toclc. charge of the business for the Union Pacific company , it was being operated at a loss of several thousand dollars per yo.ir. This was vith a very poor service , running about every half hour to the font of Main street tnd to the transfer and charging 1U cents each way. Mr. Burns improved the service by running cars every ten minutes and re duced the faro to 5 cents. Under this treat ment the receipts improved until the com- > any was making a pro lit the last year that Mr. Burus was superintendent. Would not .he motor company find its business affected in a similar manner by reducing the faro between Council Bluffs and Omaha to5 couts und to the infinite advantage of both cities. Wo believe the company can amply afford to do this and would soon find Its business more profitable than at present , notwith standing Its assertion that the great cost of its bridge makes a ft-cent fare hfhln' Thu hptilfn Is nnt nspd sively for motor trafllc ; indeed this is a small part of tlm trafllc. which crosses it , and it is not right to ask the patrons of the motor line to pay Interest on Its entire cost , when it is well known that the tolls from wagon and carriage trafllu make the bridge an extremely prolU'tbla Investment , if no charge was made for passengers crossitfg on the motor lino. The motor people not only want to make the nubile pay them interest on $ tr > 00,000 of stock which they have created out of an in- u'atment of tt-0,000 , but they want to con- llnuo the 10 cent f.u-j and exorbitant wagon tolls now in force in order to make us pay interest on the cost of two bridges , ono for motor and ono for wagon trallle. Is this fuirt FIVE Ccsr FAHE. A ( Irent IUOMIIIC. The Council BlulTa Insurance Co. makes a comparative btatcment that will challenge attention and call for favorable criticism on all bides.
