the fact that Jacob Heintz, another of the

elected members Of the commission.

DIsCLAINIS BEING A BROKER.
Hugo Hornlein informed the board
that he had been notified by the special
License Collector TO appear and pay up
an alleged delinquency in his license.
He said he called upon the License Col
lector, who informed him that there were
no unpaid licenses charged to him. He
then called on Special Collector Hart
man, who said the license was for doing
brokerage business. He said he occasion
ally lent money on notes, as other people
did, but he did not make special busi-
ness OF it.
Mr.. Hartman, who was present, said
that persons who lent money and bought
up state, county and city warrants, came
under the Lead Of brokers, and named
over a list OF persons who, he said We're
properly classed as brokers.
MIR. Horulein said he did frequently
purchase the time of persons employed
by the State. the railroad company, and
other large institutions, as a matter Of ac-
commod"tion-chiehy to persons board
ing at his house. 1t was only an incl
dental part Of their business; they did
not solicit business Of that kind, and had
10 sign announcing that they lent money.
Hundreds Of citizens lend money on
mortgages, bonds, warrants, etc., who
are not brokers.

port against the proposed extension of

present.

ray for change in the road on her prop
erty. the County Surveyor recommended
that the petition be granted. The board
set the matter for hearing for October I'd.
