TH CIit AGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, JANU “onference Between the €ook County Delegation and (hg\ Hayor, The Necessity for Change in the Present Mode of Collecting *" the Revenus Draft of a Bill -in Regard fo th Assess. ment and Collection of Taxes in - - ncorporated Cities. The Msyor and Cerporation Counsel Tuley 1ad o conferenco in the Council Chamber, yes- terday afeernoon, with the Cook Cotnty mem- ‘bers of the Legizlature, in regard to the collec- tion of taxes, Among those present wero Sen- ators Regnolds, Dow, Kchoe, Waite, and Mc- Grath; and Bepreséntatives Rountreo, Wash- ‘burn, Halpin, Peltzer, Wayman, Callerton, Brad- ley, and Lomax. g The Mayorspolko of the present revenue law and of the nocessity for & change in its pro- ‘vigions. Thoecity charter limited the tax to mills for schools, sewers, polics, etc. The State ~vuluntion of Chicago property was $75,000,000, tho city valostion being $263,000,000. Only 20 mills was allowed Dy the charter, wheress tho State allowed 60 mills, . Twonty mills 20 mora than paid the interest of the city's debis, and an incrense was necessary. He had called them together for the purposs of xezaing to thom o now bill, which had been fa- ~votably received by learned ! rs, to whom it liad been submitted for an opinion. Somo legis- Iztion was necessary to halp the city out of her @ificultics. Money was nseded, and 2n uct to enable the authorities to collect delinquent taxes %723 badly noeded. - It wazquestionable whether money could be raised under the general reyenue Jaw next year. A thousand things were noeded in the city, and next year the property must be taxed from five to six millions. Iow could it be @500 on & valuation of §75,000,0002 Mr. Wayman asked wlat proportion of the Stete tax Cook County paid. Mr. Burley replied fully ono-third. The tax amonnted to about §5,000,000, &nd Cook County paid over $2,000,000 of it. . Ilr. Tuloy discussed the general tax law, say- ing, if the cityhad cortified to it when it first camo out, not more than one-thirdof the amount sraseseed under tho city charter could have been ; nssessed. He (hought thelaw did not apply t6 taxation in cities during the year 1872, and Chi- cago, Elgin, Peoria, and two or thres smaller cities had gesessed under their charters: He Fonted the Logislature to sustain them, and to £uthorize them to collect the back faxes under tho charter, instead of under the general law. Mr. Waito said, daring the last senson of the Legislaturait w=s impossible to got & bill through o collect back taxcs, the persons interested having too many friends among the members. Copics of tho bill referrod to by the Mayor wore thea-handed t0 tho gontlomon, and 3 die- cussion cnsnod 8s to the difficulty of passing & bill containing £0 mauy pProvisions. : The Meyor_snid if QEE delegation was united there would be no trouble. He referred to {ax- Bighters, remarking that they were a numerous o 2nd increesing every yoar. Something was jenid_about Assessors, and jt was generally agreed that only capablo and hon- st menshonld be electod to that ofice. At present the vominations were mado at thefag- 2nd of the County Conventions, and, very fre- fuently, ward bunmeraand ignoramuses elipped into the offico. - The- M;gur srid the nsgessing machinery wss wrong, sud needed repairing. After somo farther talk, it was decided £0 sub- fnit the bill to the Legislature as propared. If, however, any objections were made by the count members, the obnoxions sections would be R eniny oF hucpved. i Subjoinad is the text of the bill ABILL for an Actin regard to the Assessment and of tse munlcipal new proceedings -may be Lad £0 much 15 judgrentand order’of ralo wee not ob- tatned for, to Le collcted viilli the next aunual azes, The statemint in writing (or return) mado to o County Trensurer or Sheriff as Gounty Collector und thisact,shall,on the applic:tion for judgment and order af safe, Do prima fucte evidenco thatall th requirc- ments of {he Law hovo - been complisd with in the as- forsing end levslog the toxos thorcin “re- uned 38 unpaid, - an “the making of such “rturni? “and also shall in huch application for juigment and order of ealo be prima Jacie evidenco that the taxes and assessments therein returned cs unyaid are due and uppaid.

Mr. Gondy wanted BMr. Cooper to tell the names of the parties he represonted in these wroceedings. 3 Mr. Cooper replied that he would disclose thom when the proper timo had arrived. Tho Register thought those names should be disclosed. Mr. Coopor said that Gordy could not compel - him to discloso the names of his clienta.

A Widow Sues a Saloon-Keeper and His Landlord for the Yalue of Her Husband, ' Suits have already been brought against va- rious persons, saloon-keepers, under the new liquor Ia, and have o yet falled to bring abont any result upon which the opponents of anregu- 1ated liguor-selling can rdasonably find occasion to congratulate themselves. A case Was com- monced in the Circnit Court (Judge Treo) yoster- |- day, whichi differs materially from any yet tried, and involves certein important principles not yot tried; the suit being based on the fifth section of the new law. Tho plaintiff, one Lizzie Myers, narrates, in substance, that on Aug. 2, 1672, the defondant, Frederick Mack, was tha keaper of 8 saloon, No.1Rucker street, and that he.sold liquor nnd caused the intoxication of one Martin Myers, her husband, and also of George Arnold and Chavles Hartmann; that in copsequence of his intoxication, Myers csmo to his death under the following circamstances, as doveloped at the inquest held upon tho remeins: Myers, Arnold, and Hartmann wero sitting togethor in Mack's egloon, expressing their political opinions. ~Arnold said he would yote for Grant, 0d that & négro was 23 good 28 & white man. Myors repliod that & man who would entertain such an opinion was a *‘camel” and a fool. From this a fight arose, in the course of which Myers was knocked down by Arnold, and died from compression of the brain, *produced,” to use the langnage of the verdict of the Coroner's jury, “by & rupture of an artery, caused by pushed ito the foor by Charles Hartmann.” Plaintift claims that by the death of her busbant her means of support was cut off; that one George P. Bay was the owner of the ealoon ; he did, on. the_ day, ond at the piace named, “knowingly. wrougly, snd injuriousl permit the cecupstion of said building by “15 | exploring an inclosed Basin. Blow from tho fist of Georgo Armold, and boing’ defendant Mack fors ealoou, wherein he then and there know intoxicating liquora were sold and wera fo bo old ;" that tho damage to the plaintiff was in tho sum of £10,000, sud, there- Loro, she brought suit in et ‘smount sy roderick Mack aud Goerge P. Bay, respoctivol tho ealoon-keepsr and landlord, " I To this declaration the dofendants, through their attorney, Hon. William Vocke, filed » gen- eral demurrer, and this+was argued yesterday forenoon by Alr. Vocke. His points were suc- cinetly and clearly mado, end wero briefly these: Tho new lsw ,was special in its ~nature, and thorefore in con- flict with' tho supreme lsw of this Btale, in that, in Section 1, it provides that the eale of liquor is unlswful unless a license has been issacd to the vendor, but ihat o license csu only be issucd in manicipalities suthorized by lawto grant licenser. Another point was that it violatos both the Constitution of the Stato and tho unwritten Coustitution upon which are based the Iibertiea of tho people ; that the law was just, proper, and humane whero a man receivod injuries resulting from intoxica- t was in consoquence of tho rocurrence of fa- tal nccidonts renulting from intoxication that tho Legislaturo onacted s Isw_providing that in caze of o doath by acsidont, tho widow or the next of kin might bring suit, butit did not recognize any Buch case s thab under consideration, Counsol also cluimod that | the law could not roach the Iandlord, who had suthority to leaso his placo to a party liconsed by Inw to well intoxiczting liquors. TLo Court, ufter hearing s briof argument from tho other side, requested tho counsol on both L.uidex to ubmit . brief. The caso was of oo great importance to bo snmmarily disposed of. “MIDDLEMARCH.!
