FOBEST G. WEEKS, TKEASTIRER Cooperation With Valuable Dray- Paper Mills on Skaneateles Expected to Club Members Suggest That Council Drop the Matter, Pending Enactment of State Law-- President Brewster States Reasons for Objections. Will Meet Brighton District Prop, erty Owners at Meeting To-night, The controlling interest of the Skaneateles Paper Company, owned by the late Charles G. Weeks of Skaneateles, has been acquired by the owners of the Os- Avego Falls Pulp Paper Company 01 Fulton and the plants will be operated under the same management, This will bring together property and business said to be worth more than SliOQO.OOQ. The control will be in the Owe'go Falls Pulp Paper Company.

The officers of the company are Paddock of Eulton, president; Mrs, Nellie W. Weeks of. Skaneateles; vice-president; Charles W. of this city, knd Forest Weeks of Skaneateles, treasurer. These and John H.

Hollingsworth of Fulton comprise the Board Last evening Mr. Paddock when asked regarding the transactions, said that the parties identified with -the Oswego Falls Pulp Paper Cotnpany had acquired of Nellie W. Weeks, widow of Charles Weeks, and executrix of her husband's will, the controlling interest in the Skaneateles Paper Company, which owns the Lakeside Paper Mills and the Skaneateles Paper Mills 'on the of Skaneateles lake. No Change in "The new management," saia JJTT, Pad- deck, ''expects to operate the mills as they have been conducted in the past. We hope to maintain the high standard or quality which the products of the dustries achieved during'the many years the late Mr.

Weeks was in charge. The Skaneateles Paper Mill is one of the most modern and up-to-date plants of the kind in the country. It was built It IDOS by Jlr. Weeks after the old mill was burned and is thoroughly 1 Forest Weeks, treasurer of the Oswego Pulp Paper Company, controls the Draycott Paper Mills on the outlet of Skaneateles lake. This is regarded as one of the most valuable plants on the stream.

His relations with the other company, it is believed, will "bring the Draycott Into co-operation with the other properties, but it was said yesterday that it will remain distinct from the other, -The Skaneateles Paper M3Hs manufacture a'high grade of folding boxboard, and the puts out what is mill heavy quality At the Fulton plant Is''mania- pulp and white, paper. The Skaneateles paper industry was practically started by the late Forest G. A mass meeting, open 'to all motorcycle riders of the city, will be held at 8 o'clock Lo-morrow evening under auspices of the Syracuse Motorcycle Club at the club's looms in the Hendricks Block, East Fayette- street and Bank alley, to act upon the proposed motorcycle license fee now before the Common V. Brewster, as president and on behalf of the club, last night issued the following statement on the stand taken by members of the organization: We are ready to pay any license fee within reason, but do not believe imposing a tax equal to that exacted by the state for a 25-horsepower autoino- bile is reasonable on a 4-horsepower motorcycle, The License Committee ql the Common Council favored making the fee $5, the same as the state fee for an automobile for year. Our committee of six members of the club, including three appeared before the Council Committee and the fee was fixed at That was within reason, but just before the Council met Monday afternoon I learned the License Committee had decided on for the remaining six months of the which meajat $5 for the year.

Discovering this I appealed to one of the aldermen to put in an objection, which put the matter over one week. Another reason why we believe the charge is excessive is because the state fee for motorcycles in Rhode Island is only $1.50 a year and $3 a year in Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, Why should It be a year, or $2.50 for six months within Syracuse, and that for a license good only within the city limits? The Council Committee also, to tax every rider who comes in from another city for a day or two, S5 cents- If that stands we shall be similarly dealt with In every other city or village we may have occasion to pass through, When insmbers of the Common Council thoroughly understand our position I believe a majority of them will see that we are dealt with fairly. Alderman Frank Allen of the -Eighteenth ward, a member of the License Committee, told me the aldermen had to consider and protect the interests of the public at large and that we werfc lucky they did not make the tax $10, Are not the motorcvcle riders--and there are 700 of them in" the city--entitled to the protection of the aldermen as well a.s anybody else? The Council Committee conceded that 90 per cent, of the motorcycle riders are employes of factories and use their machines as a means of getting to and from their work and to enable them to go home to dinner at noon instead of carrying a dinner pail or patronizing restaurants. 1 There are but two months remaining of the present riding season--August and September--and if the riders are forced to pay $L25 a month for each of the two months, I consider it an injustice, The Call an automobile going 1 into effect August fixes the tax according to for a 25-horsepower machine--and if the Common Council will tax us on the same basis, or the basis of the state fee for motorcycles in other states, we shall be satisfied. Tt ts generally known that we shall be under a state law In another year and we do not believe the Interests of the citizens of Syracuse would suffer materially jf the matter should be dropped pending the enactment of the state law, If tlie members of the Common Council will take time to consider both sides of the question before acting, I believe we will have no reason to complain, If thfl ordinance goes through with the present license fee proposed, we shall appeal to th Mayor to veto it A COMPROMISE MAY EESTJLT 4 Continuation of Colvin Street Sewer to Seventeenth.

Ward Is Held Up --Prior Assessments Will Be Explained. DAMAGE ACTION DEVELOPS FROM A PLANK ROAD CRASH V- George W. Tapper Sues Motor Car Company for $625 for Broken Rig and Injuries to Horse, All Resulting from Automobile Collision. A horse with "nervous prostration" and a carriage in splinters are claims in a suit for brought by George W. Tapper against the Syracuse Motor Car Company, which was on trial before G.

Cady in Municipal Court yesterday. The action grew out of a collision on the Cicero Plank road on the night of July 7, last year, between one of the defendant's automobiles and the carriage in which Frank L. Fuller, and Carl Reasel were driving towards the city. The automobile was going in the same direction and when passing' 'tlie carriage struck one of the wheels i throwing out the occupants. The chauffeur, Glenn Ross, was afterwards the value of $450 has been reduced to practically nothing.

Witnesses yesterday testified as to the accident and to the present peculiar actions of the horse, Miller Matterson appear for Mr, Tapper. Attorney Stewart Hancock appeared for the Motor Car Company. It is denied that Ross was employed by the company or that the company is responsible for the accident, It is also claimed that the horse was never worth more than $150 and that carriages such as that in question can be bought for $60 each, It also claimed that about $1,500 was paid by the Insurance company to the parties damaged by the ac- Mayor Edward Schoeneck, Corporation Counsel Walter Magee and City Engineer Honry Allen "will attend a meeting- this evening of property owners living- in the southeastern section of the Nineteenth ward, to, discuss the area tax levied in connection with 'the construction of the Seventeenth ward trunk sewer, The meeting will Le held at 'the Lafayette Avenue Church at 7.30 o'clock, Property owners in the Brighton district are urging all those who are interested to The city officials have prepared maps showing what assessments have been laid upon the entire drainage area now subject to the area tax for the continuation of the Colvin street sewer to the Seventeenth ward, It will be shown that Seventeenth ward property owners have paid three or four assessments, for which they have received no benefits up to the present time, Residents of the Brighton district contend that the Brighton avenue trunK sewer was laid without any contribution by residents of the Seventeenth ward, Be- gat'dless of the general contribution for the Midland avenue trunk sewer, they urge that the present area tax is unfair to their section, One compromise suggestion made is that the drainage area might bs reassessed with varying rates proportional to the benefit received from the construction of the extension to the Colvin street sewer, The uniform rate as now assessed throughout the drainage area is ,001 a square foot, or for a lot 40 by 132 feet, This tax rests rather heavily on the tracts of farm and garden land In the southern part of the Nineteenth ward, east of the Lackawanna tracks. Upon this land it amounts to $40 an acre, Residents of the Seventeenth ward are appealing to city officials to effect some settlement of thy present controversy which will permit the pushing forward proceedings to give a large and thickly settled section sewer advantages which have been sought for years, ORPHANS GET $2 arrested on a charge of assault, second cident and that the matter has been Weeks.

Tapper, -who owns the horse, aroused certain mulish instincts in the animal which 'were never shown Toefore, so that he now kicks and is unmanageable. The horse, while not cut or bruised seriously, was given a nervous shock from which he has not recovered, it is alleged, and fully settled, For Tapper.it is claimed that the automobile was being driven wJth but one lamp lighted and at an unlawful speed. The defense contends that on several occasions the chauffeur attempted to light the lamps after they went out but failed, arid it is denied that the speed was excessive, The trial will be continued to-day.
