Kentucky Revenue Bill Aims to Raise State Tax and Fees
The Kentucky revenue bill reported by the house committee would lift the annual revenue by about 250,000 dollars and raise the tax rate to 50 cents per 100 dollars of value. It taxes shares of national banks, liquor licenses, life insurance policies, and playing cards, with new fees on pistols, knives, and cigaretts. The bill estimates an additional 230,000 dollars for the depleted treasury, while manufacturing shows Kentucky waking to its industrial potential with ten key sectors employing thousands and contributing substantial product value.

Question of Franchises Delicate for Sheffield Council
Sheffield Ala February 23 Special The city council faces delicate questions on granting or refusing water and electric lighting franchises. Land companies once held street rights and granted way to utilities. After chartering Sheffield the legislature gave the city sovereignty over streets and alleys, allowing the council to grant franchises to others or to pursue municipal ownership. A majority reportedly favors municipal ownership, making new franchises unlikely.
