The legislative record of the alder- manic board for the past three months resembles a crazy quilt. The street paving proposition has lucceeded in dividing officialdom to the point where the providing of needed improvements, authorized by voters, seems almost impossible. The trouble started early in Au gust when the first effort to amelior ate the burdens imposed upon public service corporations by way of ofter- \nz a consolation prize in the form of reduced taxes, was first begun. The history of offlcial conduct since then has been a record of stepping and back stepping: plunging and hedging; acting and reacting. The re- lu.srl of the mayor to sign the ten year agreement is responsible for the Rppnrent dead stop at present—this much may be said in justice to alder men. A review of the history* of the case ir.ay not be amiss. The legislature in lunfoimity w^th a city ordinance prescribed that street railway com panies must pave between th^r tracks and not less U»an thirty inch- r. on either side of the tracks. When aideimen considered the proposition of forcing the local traction com- pauy to pave this space in perma nent improvement districts, the street railway company protested. Insisting that this was a burden wholly too heavy, in view of taxes already paid by the company. Aldermen first took the view that whilR ibey did not desire to grant im munity from taxation, err treat a big concern with more favor than an in dividual tax i:ayer, still they did not care to impose unfair burdens. In the opinion of the majority—an opinion heid ill September we believe— it wa$ too much to force the street rail way people to pay $4,000 in taxes and also force them to pi^ve thirty inches on each side of their tracks. Accordingly the thirty inch provision was ignored and 14 inches was the space decided upon. Later on, after many bad insisted that aldermen had not the power to set aside a legislative act. the fourteen inch lim it was raised to 22 inches. And a^ain there was protest over this claimed violation of the state law. Aad finally. It v.-as decided to allow tbf legislative act to stand; forcing the street railway to pave the amount prescribed—30 Inches—but to “give It a lift” In the form of re duced taxes. To be specific the tax of 14,00 was to be reduced to |1,000 for a perlpd of ten years. This step came after much halt ing and almost endless debate. It came as a relief to many who had desired to see the fruitless contro versy closed. But, alas, the end was not yet, for the mayor, after consulting with the city attorney, announced that he would not put his name to such an agreement, claiming that he had not the authority tie up the next ad ministration. Both parties to the agreement had been made to fully un derstand that the agreement was not binding upon the next administra tion. The railway people bad agreed to accept the agreement with this un derstanding, but the mayor refused his sanction. And now aldermen have met In ses* «lon again and undone all that has been accomplished to date. All pre vious agreements are null and void. The board is clear ot trery trace of silcial action, and the matter standi just where It did along back in AtJf gust. After months of wrangling the controveny Mda whew It began.
