THE LICENSE BILL.-The special meeting OF
Council called last night resulted In naught, as
most OF the colored members were members OF
different societies that met the same evening, and
it was found impossible to obtain a quorum. The
License bill was subjected to close scrutiny at
the caucus meeting, and was pruned OF many Of
the more Objectionable features. AS amended 1t
was expected to pass the bill through to its final
reading, and make it operative as soon rs posi-
ble This has been frustrated by the failure OF the
two last special meetings but it will be pressed at
an early day.
Among the amendments proposed that which
affected the brokers is important. An auction
GERS license has been reduced to $50; brokers'
Is fixed at the same amount, but brokers In
money and real estate, and dealers in exchange,
bankers and bank agents, all remain at sloo. AS
these branches are all combined in the general
brokerage business, the grievances complained of
by that class have been but slightly modified. AS
an Offset to the reductions made In the brokers'
and auctioneers licenses, the banks Will be re-
quired to pay $780, instead Of $780, the original
figure.
Doctors and lawyers will have to pay license
OF S25 Mechanics will be exempt, but If the bos-
ses should, as is not unlikely, happen to be me-
chanics also, they. will have to pay according to
the number Of their employees. Those employ
ing from one to four journeymen, will be charged
$40 for the privilege, and those that employ
larger number will be compelled TO pay S25. The
bill assumes that none but master mechanics
would employ mechanics, and the term mechanic
refers TO every trade, including BARRIERS.
Council will undoubtedly pass license bill, one
of some description, calculated to raise as large
an amount as possible. They say the treasury is
bare and must be repenishcd speedily, and the
new bill wilr be the most effective collecting agent
they can obtain.
