thors thereof and be equally liable
therefor; but where any such nuisance
shall arise from the unusual or I'm.
necessary use to which such property

THE MAYOR IN A BOX.
The Mayor suggested that he would
like to consul with the Council. The
law made him the judge of the qualifi-
plum bers, occulistS and aurists who
came here to do business, and who ap-
piled for licenses. AS he was neither
plumber, dentist, doctor, occulist or
aurist, he did not feel competent of |
passing upon the qualifications of those |
who came before him for licenses. and |
asked to be relieved of the duty as
signed him. He thought there should |
be competent examining board to at |
tend to such matters. Halt dozen |
physicians had applied for licenses
lately, and he had refused to issue |
licenses to them until he had had the |
advice of the Counsel on the matter.
Then followed lengthy discussion
of doctors and their habits. One mem
Der stated that when the license fee
was but 81, great many had taken
out licenses in order that they might
avoid sitting ON juries, and for other
similar reasons.
Mr.. Mccormick protested loudly
against the practice or issuing licenses
to "Tape-worm TIM" 1.-The King of
Pain" "The Great and only Lightning
Tooth Yanker," and others of that
ilk, who. with a poor banjo and worse
singing draw large crowds and monopo-
lizea the public sidewalks and streets.
Had he his way in the matter, he
would give such fellows thirty days in
stead If license.
Mr.. Roberts was also of the opinion
thatit was wrong to allow such fellows
to prey upon the public as they are
