Of Committee on License-Fruit Stands
To the Honorable President and Common
Council of the City OF st. Paul:
GENTLEMEN: The Committee on Licenses
to whom was referred the petition of J. Fl.
Metcalf and forty-nine Others, asking to
have the fruit and other stands re-
moved from of the public streets of the
city.
Report, That in the opinion of your
committee, the practice OF permitting the
streets Of the city to be occupied with
stands for the sale of fruits or other mer-
chandise is not one to be commended,
aside from the fact that they necessarily
obstruct the streets. dealers who pay large
rents have good cause for complaint in be-
ing brought into competition with class
Of dealers, who under authority of the city,
carry on business without any other cost
than the pittance exacted by the city for
a license. The practice is one, that as far
as your committee can learn. meets with
favor from no one except those immedi-
ately interested.
:
mon Council nave no authority TO author
ize the use Of the public streets for any
other purpose than that of a highway.
Such being the views of your committee,
they recommend that the Mayor be re-
quested to issue an order to the police force
of the city to cause all fruit and other
dealers, now occupying the streets, to be
at once removed from off the same, and
| that any unearned license money be re-
| turned. Respectfully yours,
