thought it simply prohibited the night
lunch wagons from doing any business
at all. Mr.. Dix wanted the distance
cut down to 100 feet. He was of the
opinion that the patrons of the lunch
wagons would not patronize restau-
rants, and for this reason the wagons
did not hurt the trade of the restau-
rants
