Show That PelitioD. Salt Lake, April CG, '7S Editors Htrald: It would seem the nse bill managers man-agers imagine the ooly persons interested inter-ested in the renting of Washington qiare are those who belong to clubs However, all objections are not yet overcome. The object of the petition is to empower the manaRero to charge an entrance fee from those who de-;sire de-;sire to witness a match; awl it is l-t t reasonable to conclude that it U a money making enterprise. T.-ua, they pay (or k would so appear) $50i for the use and ruu iiik; but il we view it in a proper light, it will he seen that the citiz np, to whom tue grouud belongs, will have to pay thia amount. Not content with the harvest reaped Ioe! year in charging for seats, they also hope to capture the stray dimes of all whose desire is eo strong that it is necessary for them toutteLd. If the city is in need ot $500, it would be a much more economical and fairer way of obtaining it to tax the citizens to that amount than to com pel them to pay for the privilege ot I witnessing a game of bu?e ballon their own ground j, and allowing those who are having the fun to make a few dimes at the same time. It is an illustration of the "lamb being ltd to the slaughter" and fleeced. It is to be hoped the committee to whom was referred the petition will return a report similar to that on the first petition, as the prime objections remain unmoved. Grujlbl&e. |
