The Council at their last session
raised the license fee for hawkers and
peddlers. This was probably brought
about by the exhibition of last week,
in the interests of "Parkers Pacific
Pens," and the pussy, we'll fed hawker,
who operated the scheme. From a
casual glance at the game, and the
eagerness of the average man to be
bitten, it was urgant that the Council
take some steps to protect people who
expect to get something for nothing,
and to get some Of the money back
again. People fell over each other in
their eagerness to give the hawker
their good dollar, and take the chance
on missing the numerous blanks of
the grabbing and getting another.
OF the few who got even, small
proportion were ahead. A $25 fee will
head off most of these gamesters. A
ten-dollar per diem peddler license
will also thin out this frequent bore
The peddlers, are all here for gain
and It's better to patronize the local
stores which pay taxes and help build
up the town, even If little more il
charged for the article.
Many times during the week. we are
asked or hear the query, why does mo-

The most profitable dwellings for thi
purpose are those costing $500 or $500
which can be rented from So n,nn.l
