Mr.. jenkins moved that Clerk be
paid one days wages for the day he
sits to issue licenses.
Without directing to the motion,
Councilman Smith said it was strange
that Council had no record of who paid
for licenses-nothing but the bare sums

would be a great aid to the incumbent

suit in some cases.
Mr.. Krapf said that was what Coun-
