This case presents the same questions as Chain Belt Co. v. Milwaukee, ante, p. 188, 138 N. W. 621, qnd is ruled by that case.

There was no authority on the part of the city to enact the ordinance under which the defendant was prosecuted and convicted, hence the ordinance is invalid, and the judgment should be reversed.

By the Court. — Judgment reversed, and the cause remanded with directions to dismiss the prosecution.
