TaE PUBLIC CARMEN OF NEw-YoRS-Amosg the
industrial classes in this city, taken az body tho
public caItmen the most respectable, and there 70
no class of our laboring citizens more industrious and
frugal. Many OF the earnlen in New-fork are, COM
paratiyely speaking, wealthy, and the remandera arc
in easy circumstances. Occupying fine residences IN
the upper part Of the city may be found men of wealth
aud position who in years gene by drove carts through
the streets, and by their economy and perseverance
laid the foundation for that wealth which they now
quietly enjoy. All Of those now engaged in business
own their horse and cart and some there are who own
some half dozen or horses and carts and furnish
ment to others. The most profitable branch OF
the business is cartng for large wholesale establish
mens, although the cartmen having stands in varioas
streets do fair business the year round averaging
from 81 50 to 81 day, according to the location.
| There are, at the present time, sr thousand one
hundred and nine licensed public cartmen, and one
thousand six hundred and eightyseven licensed dirt
cartmen. Theee licenses renewed every year, the
time specified being from the middle of September TIL
the fret of November. For public carts - % is
charged for license. and 80 cents for every renewal
The owner is free to drive his horse and cart.
but is taxed 81 for every additional hand
that be may employ. Thus, If he owned
twelve carts he would be obliged to obtain
license on each at A. So with 81 additional for per-
mission to employ driver on each. This tax Is i'm
posed to prevent not only abuses toward other cartmen
who might be able to care for only horse and cart
but that carts may notbe driven about by careless and
irresponsible persons. Tie law requires that every
driver of public cart shall be citizen Of the United
States but this is not required the of drivers of
dirt carts. One dollar is charged license fee for
dirt cart and IS cents for renewal but personal tax
imposed on the drivers. Notwithstanding the vigil
snce of the last squad Of police il is estimated thst
there are from 200 to 800 carts used daily in this
city for which no license is paid. Most of these how
ever are dirt carts The arrests for this violation Of
The city ordinances number sometimes % or 30 day,
and in all cases the penalty is enforced.
