MANCHESTER RETAIL MERCHANTS
NOW UNDERSTAND ORDINANCE.
A BROAD POLICY HAS BEEN ADOPTED.
Ordinance Committee Wish to Take
Down the Gap to Wholesale Men
commemorative CogbiiI Fire.
Fair Provisions

The committee from the Manchester re-
toll merchants appeared before the Ordi-
nance Committee Of the Council last night
at meeting held in the Council Cham
Der and inquired the meaning and the
effect on them Of the operation Of the
proposed ordinance imposing a license
tax on them. The ordinance was gone
over with them carefully from beginning
TO end and they expressed themselves at
the conclusion as fully satisfied with 1t,
and absolutely confident that they would
not have to pay any more taxes than
they 90 now.
Mr.. 4. J. Daffron. chairman Of the
merchants committee, was spokesman
for his body, and Judge Clopton, City At
torney, who drew up the ordinance, and
City-Treasurer Bronaugh went over the
ORDNANCE for the committee. Every
member Of the merchants committee eX-
pressed himself afterwards as thoroughly
satisfied with the explanation given OF the
ordinance.
AS TO WHOLESALE DEALERS.
The Ordinance Committee held quite a
lengthy session afterwards, and approved
ordinances governing the taxation OF
wholesale dealers in the city. The mem
bers Of the body present were Messrs. W.
b. Bradley (chairmam Matthew Morton,
J.. NJ. Nunnally, II. l.. Patram, and ;. j.
Jones. Others present were Judge Clop-
ton. City Attorney; j. w. Bronaugh, CITY
Treasurer, and 5. r. Owens, Commis-
sioner Of the Revenue. Mr.. Langhorne
Putney. Of stephen Putney CO., ana
MIR. John Donnan. Of the w. ;. Donnah
Company, representing the wholesale
dealers Of the city, were also In attend
ance by invitation. These firms are the
only ones which would now be affected
by the proposed ordinance.
After considerable deiibefation the
committee instructed the City Attorney
to draw up an ordinance which they APP
proved, and is eminently broad ana fair
and. the committee hopes, will be et'
foctive in bringing other such dealers e
the city. II is, in brief, as follows:
"Wholesale dealers shall pay on thu
| first $4,000 estimated purchase, 81 pei
81 900. or $50: $4,000 to $1,000 20 cents, OF
| $3.50: $500 10 100000 estimated pur
chase, 50 cents, or $3.50; 100000 TO SD,
coo. 20 cents, or S1l0; $4,000 to $4,000, g
cents, or Sl25 $4,000 10 $1,000 90 cents
or SlS7; $4,000 10 10000 40 cents, or $l47
100000 to $225. OoO 80 cents, or $50; s2Z5'
TO $4,000 % cents, or $3.50; SZ5OOD u
10000. 10 cents. or Sle5; $4,000 and up
wards. cents.
This includes all city taxes whatsoever
The Council will probably be called 70
tomorrow night to act upon this ordi
nance and those controlling retailers
and manufacturers taxes.
