The assembly meeting last evening was
characterized by a unanimity Of senh-
ment which was almost monotonous All
OF the members were present, and on

voted the same way. Tie police pay roll

"A resolution recommended by the ways
and means committee was adopted where

priation Of $780, The principal items re-
naming unpaid are bills for printing. This
resolution has received the approval Of

Assemblyman Denny introduced new
ordinance to license and regulate ped
dlers, which has been prepared by the
corporation attorneys department to take
the place of the one recently declared by
the municipal court to be invalid. This
ordinance provides for an annual license
fee of S. for a foot peddler $50 for a fish
cart, SIS for stationary booth or stand,
$50 for a vehicle drawn by animal power,
with $15 additional for each person be-
side the driver who accompanies such
vehicle. 1t Is provided in the ordinance
that no person shall be permitted to sell
meats except at such places as are specfi-
cally designated in their licenses. Dealers
in milk and cream, being otherwise re-
stricted and regulated, are exempted from
the provisions of the ordinance.
Mr.. Denny explained that he had been
informed by the assistant corporation at
torney that this ordinance was similar to
the former one except that the license fee
for wagon drawn by animal power had
been cut down from 500 to $50, and the
fault which had invalidated the former
ordinance had been avoided as the new
one made all peddlers subject to some
license. This statement provoked a ques-
ton from Chairman Dix as to whether
the license for S25 for booths or station
airy wagons was not departure from the
old ordinance, and whether that would
not permit any person to stand with Il
wagon on any corner in the city, provid-
ed he could obtain the permission of the
mayor. Mr.. Denny was not sure on that
point and the ordinance was referred, on
motion Of Mr.. Craig, to the committee
on streets.
