apples, chestnuts or peanuts on inc streets IN
quantities less than half buShcl without pay
ing a license OF Sl.O per day, or about ono
tenth uf the value OF n whole load OF apples.
Such ordinances, In our opinion, operate
tilnly against the interest OF the citizen VINO

cheapest rates. To charge 4 poor apple waG-

necessity OF a law to crush ont n compelltl3n
The citizens who were enabled 10 nnS appIrS
