FREE DELIVERY.
Vehicles Used in Carrying Goods
10 Customers Are Taxable.

The following decision was rem
dered on the 10th inst. in the supreme
court in Nashville by Chief Justice
Deadrick, in the cases of John Haw-
kins, VIM, Hydingcr, and Chris Power
VS.. the mayor and city council of
Nashville:
In the first two cases plaintiffs, who
are butchers, running each a wagon to
carry his meatto customers, aud con-
veying hides and tallow to purchasers
in the city, were severally adjudged
liable to take out license and pay the
tax therefor assessed by the city, by
the judgement of the circuit court.
Each has brought the Judgment to
this csurt for revision by writ of
error.
by the judgment of the common
law court, Power, under Ike facts,
was adjudged not liable, nd the city
council has appealed to this court.
The question is the same in all
cases, and presents the question
whether the parties who are usiug
their wagons for the purpose above
stated are liable to pay a privilege tax
or license imposed by an ordinance OF
the city upon any person who is pro
prietor OF a wagon, dray or cart which
is employed in hauling lumber, brick,
wood. furniture, bread, liquor or mer-
chandise from place to place in the
city, and which further provides that
any person who shall keep, run or en-
ploy in this city a wagon, cart, hack,
dray, etc., without license shall be
fined not more than $50 or less than s..
The wagons were used, not for hire,
but for the purposes stated, for. the
free delivery Of goods sold by the
owners.
The ordinance requires prOprietors
Of wagons, etc, employed in convey.
lug, in the city, from place to place,
bread, liquor, merchandise, etc, Ia
take out license and pay certain speci
fed rates. This is required withou.
reference to the question as to hir,
charged or received by the proprietor
or whether he kent his wagon in OF
out Of the city when not so used,
This question was settled, as W.
think, by the case ofthe city of Men
phis vs.. Ballarte & Co.-Sth Heiskell
52I-in which it was held that a ia,
might be imposed upon drays used fol
free delivery Of iron from works out
sido Of the city 10 purchasers within
it.
The ordinance Of Memphis express
ly imposed a tax on a wagon or othe.
vehicle kept or used for free delivery
The owners of said vehicles as ar,
thus used share in the benefits de
rived from improvements Of tn.
streets. and there is no reason VIII,
they should not contribute to kee.
them 10 repair.
let the judgments in the two case
first named be affirmed, and that il
