Aid. Cheatham introduced bill in the
o"iN VI NIL - OouSiNdls iCulAOill Lilc
license on pawnbrOkers to 500, which bill
passed three readings, under 4 suspension
of the rules, and will, no doubt, pass i'm
the Board Of Common Council. At present
the license on pawnbrokers is so heavy that
the business has been abandoned in Nash
vile, excepting on a large scale. There
are a few establishments in the city where
money is loaned on cOllaterals, but instead
Of being old clothes, iewelTy and other
personal effects, said cOllaterals are bales of
cotton, bins Of wheat or bags of corn.
The ordinary pawnbroker does not charge
storage on his securities, however, while
the Nashville pawnbroker, who does bust
ness on a large scale, does, thus fleeing
his victim in two WAYS.
