of the same number, beg to report That althou:
e the petitioner asserts that this imposition occurr
t. from negligence and want of attention on the p'
of those who had charge of his drays, and fre
" any disposition on his part to deiraud the Mum
y pality. Yet, as the committee assured that t
ne revenue of the Municipality, arising from I
ad licenses drays and carts, is seriously injured
of dishonest persons running in different parts OF
city drays of duplicate numbers, (Which it
:, extremely difficult for the police to deect,) tn

he ests of the Municipality, as well as that OF
"a honest drayman who pays a license for every dr.
he | or cart which he may run, to recommend that

Oh ton OF this ordinance, that it will have tender
to encourage further nracuons. They there
