ing to tax the business.
Mr.. Bonzano said under the ruling Of the
Supreme Court. the city could make no dis
tinction; handcart must pay the same Ii
cense as the enormous timber wheels which
cut up the streets in every direction. He
had. therefore. left hand carts out of the
ordinance.
The amendments were adopted, and the
ordinance was laid oveg for final action
