 The above men represent the bulk of the business of Springdale and il will be seen that there is much difference of opinion in re- gard to the matter. We believe the ortinanee to be t good thing if it would only include property owners. Thero are men in busi- ness hore who rent their buildings, and is it just and right that they should be taxed 10 build sidewalks while the owners are exempt Ws think not. It is as much. or more, beneds to the latter class, and We believe they shonld help share the burden. It Is true-as one gentle man stated-the amount is small, but there k a principle involved that should he considered.

H"i.not disposed to kur- ry the publication of the ordinance at the risk of going contrary to the will ot majority of those interes- ted, but thinks there IS but one question to decide, and that is whether an incorporated town has the right to regulate all business within its limits by < general license or privilege tax.
