OHIO TRUCK CLUB 6ETS INJUNCTION TEMPORARY ORDEv» WILL HALT COLLECTION SSOSUSSS LICENSES. Temporary injunction restraining the collection of increased license fees for trucks of more than 30 horsepower, was granted the Ohio Motor Truck club, a branch of which was recently organized in Lorain, by Judge E. B. Klnkead In common pleas court it Columbus Monday. The restraining order was granted when an amended petition was flled alleging that there was a $2,000,000 surplus In the highway department road fund and that the income from licenses at the old rates would be sufficient to keep the roads in repair. Judge Klnkead last week granted a similar injunction and later dissolved it and sustained a demurrer flled by Secretury of State, Thad Brown. It ls estimated the injunction will hold up collection of approximately $800,000 in license fees. The decision, lt is believed, will be appealed to tbe supreme court, whatever lt may be. a-, see what some of them are. "Undobtedly one of the biggest single fat tors has been the universal con- I servatlsm among those charged wttk j the responsibility of carrying en business, this conservatism being af a : quality which waa influenced neither , by unfounded expectations ef a great increase in bualness nor hy th* pee- i simistlc opinions occasioned hy varl | ous happenings throughout the world. , Such conservation Inevitably teads te I steady Industry and trade •• a wfeeie 1 and to Inspire a widespread ceaS- | dence in the future. "Other decidedly Important Caeters I are: Tbe legitimate demand* ef a pro* perous and well employed people. Efficient transportation, t*g*t*et with the rehakUiUtlea anjffm mapped ont by the railroad*. The continuance ot seuad credit conditions. Tha improvement in the tural situation. Marked activity ta buUdlag- Efforts to economize la production and selling. Tbe individual tendency to sate. The faith of the people la tk* business stability of tk* country. I "It Is not unreasonable to suppose that th* above factors will govern 1SS4 business activities. "In selecting only the favorable features lt is not proposed to draw a curtain of optimism over the aafaver- able ones. Their handicap* are tatty appreciated but they are overshadowed by those elements which keep bint I ness ln this country moving ia tk* right direction. For thi* reaeea It would appear that tbe new yaar caa be approached with counselled. "A year ago th* 'Monthly Business Review' stated tbat there were Seed things in store for us in 19SS if we knew how to look for them, aia Sa face 1984 no core fitting statement can be made." Carl LerHch underwent au operation for appendicitis Monday afternoon at the hospital. COUNTY FISH AND GAME CLUB MEETS AT LORAIN, TUESOAV.

OHIO TRUCK CLUB 6ETS INJUNCTION TEMPORARY ORDEv» WILL HALT COLLECTION SSOSUSSS LICENSES. Temporary injunction restraining the collection of increased license fees for trucks of more than 30 horsepower, was granted the Ohio Motor Truck club, a branch of which was recently organized in Lorain, by Judge E. B. Klnkead In common pleas court it Columbus Monday. The restraining order was granted when an amended petition was flled alleging that there was a $2,000,000 surplus In the highway department road fund and that the income from licenses at the old rates would be sufficient to keep the roads in repair. Judge Klnkead last week granted a similar injunction and later dissolved it and sustained a demurrer flled by Secretury of State, Thad Brown. It ls estimated the injunction will hold up collection of approximately $800,000 in license fees. The decision, lt is believed, will be appealed to tbe supreme court, whatever lt may be. a-, see what some of them are.

"Other decidedly Important Caeters I are: Tbe legitimate demand* ef a pro* perous and well employed people. Efficient transportation, t*g*t*et with the rehakUiUtlea anjffm mapped ont by the railroad*. The continuance ot seuad credit conditions. Tha improvement in the tural situation.

I "It Is not unreasonable to suppose that th* above factors will govern 1SS4 business activities. "In selecting only the favorable features lt is not proposed to draw a curtain of optimism over the aafaver- able ones. Their handicap* are tatty appreciated but they are overshadowed by those elements which keep bint I ness ln this country moving ia tk* right direction.
