SECONDHAND FURNITURE.
An adjourned meeting Of the Secondhand
Furniture Dealers Association wns held last
evening at the corner of Fifth avenue
and Randolph street. In the absence Of
the President, Mr.. Charles Gordon occupied
the chair: It was reported that twenty-hve
members had Joined the Association and paid
their initiation fee since the Inst meeting. The
Committee appointed at a previous meeting to
prepare petition and amended ordinance pre-
sented the same The petition set forth in de-
tail the grievances Of the trade. They objected
to the increase of the license from SCI to 500
per annum, and to the provision requiring a
ness done during the previous day. The amend
ed ordinance which has been. prepared provided
that second hand furniture denlers should pay u
license OF 81 per annum and defined the hours
within which goods should be received. It con-
tained strict provisions that second-han cloth
no pawnbroking should be carried on By persons
doing business under second hand furniture IL
censes. It was also provided that all purchases
should be recorded in book which
is to be- open to the tnspec-
ton Of the police at any time,
and that no goods should be bought from minors,
persons intoxicated, or known thieves. In ef-
feet, it was the old ordinance, except that sep
arato license for furniture dealers was asked
for. The petition and ordinance were approved
BY the meeting and will be presented to the
Council Monday evening 4 great many wholesale
furniture dealers and merchants have signed
the petition. The next meeting will be held
Wednesday evening at the same place. The
general drift Of the discussion was that broad
distinction must be made between the second
hand furniture men and,the old clothes dealers,
pRWnbrokers, and junk-dea1crs.
