QUESTION OF LICENSE.
Li.erymen Who Keep Teams in Front
of Hotels.

Judge Kimball rendered a decision IN the
Police Court today affecting the rights of
keepers of livery stables who keep teams
in front of hotels. For a number of years
it has been the custom of hotel proprietors
to have one or more vehicles standing in
front Of their places. They are kept there
for the accommodation Of guests of the ho-
tells, although some of the drivers do a
regular public vehicle business. Such We
hicles have never been licensed.
The question of requiring owners of such
vehicles to take out licenses was raised
some time ago. Drivers who had been Ii
censed complained that it was unfair to
them to allow unlicensed vehicles to per-
form a service in opposition to them. The
owners of the vehicles do not object to the
payment of the license tax but they do OBJ
ject to changing the character of the We
hicles for when they are licensed they
have to take their places on the public
stands.
Peter ]. Clark was defendant in the case
brought today to test the question. For
several years he has driven a team, and
has been In the habit of standing in front
of the Hotel Lawrence. Judge kimball said
he could find no provision of law under
which the vehicles in question are relieved
of licenses. Clark was held to be guilty
and the court gave him until tomorrow to
get his license.
