NEW CAsTEE, Dec. 2l.-City Council
settled down to business in earnest last
night and Messrs. Eclzles and Frazer, the
special committee on ordinance allowed
no grass to grow under their feet. I'm.
mediately after the meeting was called
to order the special committee reported
that they had held conferences with
City Solicitor Cooper and had drawn up
the ordinance to stop peddling and es.
tablish street market in the city Of
New Castle. The ordinance was then
submitted to Council, was accepted by
it, and then the special committee was
discharged.
As soon as the ordinance had been
accepted from the special committee,
Council went into committee Of the
whole to correct and consider the pro
posed law This was done and, after
being corrected, every section was passed
except the fourth, which was held under
advisement until next Wednesday night
when Council win again meet to consider
the proposed law as a committee Of the
whole. SO much public opinion for
immediate action viii be brought TO bear
on the councilmen that, it is thought
they will meet as City Council, give the
corrected ordinance its first and second
readings. and, at the January meeting
give its third reading and pass it,

ders selling anything beside the staple
