Pole Tax Ordinance Passes Fort Wayne Council
After two months of struggle the ordinance taxing pole ownership by corporations on public property passed Fort Wayne City Council by nine to six. The Fort Wayne Journal the Post supported the measure as a step to ensure corporations pay a fair share of taxes, praising the paper’s watchdog stance against monopoly and noting strong public subscriptions. The issue sparked sharp editorial fealty questions and hints of political feuds as the paper vows continued vigilance and groundward efforts. The Journal announced Harriet Richardson to christen the warship Kentucky and criticized the commissioners’ actions as misaligned with public interests while urging underground wires to curb pole tax evasion by the Consolidated Street Car Company. The Post then declared it the official city paper for Fort Wayne.
