continuance Of the case against one Of

for violating the ordinance in reference
10 hauling too big load on Il lhree-inch
tire. He stated that the present
enforcement OF the ordinance SO rigidly
operated TO the detriment Of the con-
Sumers of coal; as they will have to pay
more for its delivery, the loss will not
fall on the coal merchants themselves.
Had this war on the heavily laden Wag-
Dns been made in the summer time, he
said, there would have been no detriment
TO either the coal men nor the customers,
but this being the busiest season OF the
rear, the disconvenience to consumers
will be the worst feature of the case.
The case in question and others of the
Bame nature were continued until the
18th, by which time the coal dealers
will have made some arrangements
ooking to the adjustment of the diff
sulty.
