Park Board Accepts Public Playground from Dr. Gifford Dr. Harold Clifford has addressed a communication to the Park, board In re. gard to the donation of the strip ot land for a public playground, in which he aski that the city aacept the land for the children and to spend some money on It for swings, etc., In order to mako the playgrounds a success. Dr. Gilford be lieves that the city needs at least ten playgrounds for the children and he thinks that it the first one la a success other persons who take pride In Omaha will follow with like donations. Tho Park board will Improve the grounds given by Dr. Clifford and will place merry-jo-rounda, swings, seesaws and the like there within the next few months. While; the board was In session Friday It waa decided to make an eishtaan-hole golf course at Font entile put and also U buitd a ball diamond there. Asserting Hint an ordinance passed by the city council three 'Weeks ago provid ing for an occupation tax on dealers In fuel, hay, ke and grain, who sell less than carload lots, Is nothing more than a high-handed attempt to drive the small dealers out of business, a number of coal and feed men banded together and en gaged Attorney W. J. Connell to fight the ordinance to a finish. The feed and coal men are headed by J. I. Kemp of i.'ili Leavenworth street, and Mr. Kemp says that he will suffer arrest ten times a day rather than to pay tho "occupation tux." Tho ordinance which has aroused the Ire of tho coal men provides that a tax be laid on all persons, forms or corporations engaged In selling hay, grain or fuel or lee In less than carload lots and by weight- The persons, firms or corporations engaged and grain are required to pay a tax of ; $10 per year; those engnged In the build ing material business aro taxed $20; lee men aro taxed IHS and fuel dealers are also required .to pay jar. Violation ot the ordinance is punishable with arrest and fines not exceeding 1W or less than j, and the ordinance is to go into effect November 1, lull. The attorneys who are representing tho firms who arc golnu to fight the ordt. nance state that tho clause providing for punlfhment l unlawful, and that the council has exceeded Us authority by passing such an ordinunce. Mr. Connell says the whole law Is unjust and leaky, and when the matter comes tj a head he expects it to bo repeuled. "The man who deals In coal -who op erates only one 'wagon Is compelled to pay a l.r tax, and the man who operates fifty or a hundred wagons gets off with the same amount," said J. 1. Kemp. "It is unjust, und if It Ih allowed to stand, a number of smaller firms will be sorely pinched." The following are some of the firms who are preparing to fight the ordinunce and who have banded together and se cured the services of Mr. Connell: J. I. Kemp, 2313 Leavenworth; 14. A. Winn, Thirty-ninth and Leavenworth; Sutter Feed and Coal company. Twenty-ninth and Farnam; (Jeotge Howell, Thirteenth and Mason; Henry Foley.
