II. Germain. druggist: am in favor
of the ordinance. Te hitching of teams
in front of the stCes should be regu-
lated.
G. l.. Bannistf. jeweler: 1t is a
nuisance to have Aese vehicles hitched
in front of the sttes. Often the teams

in favor of thprdinance. think it is
a good thing thave the streets so that

The ordina1e is fine thing. We

c. f. Dollinger of Laux & Co., drug
gists: 1t will be good thing to move
the hacks and wagons and prevent
them from standing in front of the
store. I do not object to man hitch
ing while he attends to business. but to
make a regular thing of 1t is an entirely
different matter.
H. P. Anderson of Anderson & Chans-
lor. grocers: think it is good thing
and what ought to be done. I do not
think that two vehicles should be al
lowed to stand abreast in the same
street. A person should be compelled to
drive to the curb before stopping.
Ed Tufts of Tufts-Lyon Arms COM
pany: II think that vehicles should not
be allowed to stand on the principal
streets any longer than absolutely nee
essary for the owners to transact their
business.
w. e. Cummings, shoe dealer: l
do not believe in the ordinance. drive
down to my place Of business every day,
and l want the privilege of hitching my
horse in front of the store. The new
ordinance discriminates against the
poor man. If he has no cOachman he
is prevented from driving in and doing
business.
b. f. Gardner of Gardner & Oliver,
stationers: 1 think that the hacks
should be located in some place off from
the principal streets.
Il. Gordon, tailor: Certainly. move
the vehicles. l would like to see the
street kept clear.
Edw. d. Silent & Co., real estate and
insurance: We think that the hitch
ing ordinance is an excellent thing.
w. III. Griffin, real estate: think that
the merchants of this city have right
to complain and l am in favor of the
ordinance. l do not believe, however,
in the territory being made too large.
Spring street, probably and part of
Main and some of Broadway, ought, l
believe, to be protected.
]. r. Bearden, attorney-at-law: The
vehicles are allowed to stand too much
in front of business places. They OBJ
