STOCKTON, CAL, Jan. 9.-The book
makers and booksellers are again in trouble.
On Monday they won Il victory in the
Board of Supervisors, which reduced their
county license from $15 per day to $75 per
month.
Their elation is now subsiding as the City
Council proposes to take hand, and will,
in all probability, pass all ordinance which
will carry tax on their business that will
prove prohibitory.
To-day the dealers had trouble over Sc
curing reports from Ingleside, and 1t was
late in the afternoon before they could do
any business, and by that time the usual
crowd of sports were seeking money some
where else.
They have brought an operator from
San Francisco to handle their business,
and propose to make the most of the time
until the Council imposes the proposed tax.
