was anxious tn avoid the expense
|Of an appeal t" the supreme court
ON both of the cases regarding the
contracts with the city. and that q
short delay would be necessary to
enable the company to determine
Just what was possible in the mat
ter. The appeal Of one case seemed
sufficient. and the saving in expense
would be something to the city and

.tentiOn Of the council to the fact that

scales and sold them whatever
amount they desired. but did not Gull
on any person that was not his regu.
lar customer. Alderman Moeglein
stated that Ziemkowski was ped
ding meat and the city attorney
gave 1t as his opinion that it was
peddling and as such was subject to
a license. Mr.. Zienkowski was pres.
ent and addressed the council briefly
on the matter. During his remarks
he and Alderman Moeglein got into.
q somewhat heated discussion, which
showed that there was CONSIDERABLE
rivalry between the prOprietors OF the
two meat markets. Thecouncil asked
the city attorney to look up the "r-
1inance relating to licenses and to
give his opinion in regard to the
probability of securing a conviction
under 1t. The city attorney stated
that he had looked the ordinance
,ver carefully and was OF the opin-
on that II would not stand in court.
