be provision that every spectator
should have a seat. the circus To forfeit
bond Of 500 in case of any violation
Of such provision. James suggested that
in any case where a circus charged TO en-
coed % cents for admission, the license
should rot be less than 500 per day. Ray

charged 20 cents nothing less than $50
per day should be accepted for a license.

license should be 10 cents for each seat,
and for ~ cents or more. II cents for each
scat. In this shape the ordinance was
engrossed and passed.
