The license board held another long
meeting yesterday afternoon, and con-
sidered all sorts of petitions, from that
of the individual who wishes to gather
old rags to that Of the advance agent
of a big circus, which wants a chance
to exhibit its wonders in this city.
OF principal interest, however, was
the hearing granted on the protest of
Mrs. Annie Wright, formerly of this
city, but now of Boston, against grant
ing job wagon license to G. II. and
W. G. Burroughs. Mrs. Wright was
represented by David F. O'Connell, of
the firm of Sullivan & OConnell, who
told the board of the difficulty between
the truckman and Mrs. Wright when
the latter moved her goods from this
city to Boston, a few weeks ago.
Mrs. Wright said that Burroughs Of
fered to move her goods, arrange for
car and other details for the sum of
$35.She paid him SIS down, which was
all the money she had at the time, and
supposed he would carry out the con-
tract. She was put to considerable in
| convenience after arriving in Boston
by being unable to locate the car in
which the goods had been shipped, as
they were sent in the truckman's name
instead of hers. She did not think Bur-
roughs had acted as he should in the
matter.
Burroughs claimed that the job was
larger than he had anticipated and
| that he demanded two-thirds of the
amount to be paid for the work, but
was unable to get it. One car would
not hold all the goods, and he would
have been obliged to go into his own
pocket to have paid the freight had he
carried out the contract. He also
| called several witnesses, who assisted
in handling the furniture.
At the close of the hearing, the board
considered the case and voted to give
G.. H. Burroughs leave to withdraw on
| his petition for a job wagon license.
| Other petitions upon which leave to
withdraw was granted were: M. Quint
| of IS Assonet street, to gather rags;
| Levi l.. Flagg, for a wooden addition
| to the stable in the rear of % Piedmont
