A CITY CAN PASS AN ORDINANCE
REGULATING THE REMOVAL OF
GARBAGE AND PROVIDING THAT
NO ONE COULD REMOVE IT UN-
LESS LICENSED BY THE CITY.
1T MAY ALSO COMBINE SUCH A
LICENSE TO ONE PERSON.
De VIies was convicted of viola ting
an ordinance of Grand Rapids by re-
moving garbage contrary TO said ordi-
nance and without license.
The court says:
The charter provisions empower the
Council to pass ordinances to regulate
the collection, removal, and disposal of
garbage, etc. These matters in and of
themselves are regarded as nuisances;
that is, the ordinary and accepted
meaning of the words garbage" and
''offal" is such refuse matters that in
and of themselves are nuisances. Mat
ter of this character he (the household
err is required to care for by depositinS
the same in air-tight vessels or tanks,
and dispose of 1t in such a way that
will not endanger the public health.
But Council says that the ordinance
is unreasonable and therefore void; and
that 1t also creates a monopoly In the
present case we think the ordinance is
not unreasonable as to the manner of
gathering and removing garbage. The
charter does not in express terms en-
power the Council to grant an ex-
elusive contract The gathering of gar
bage is not q trade. business or occu-
patton in any proper sense. and such
employment does not come under the
doctrine in reference to monopolies, or
in reference to legislation In restraint Of
trade 1t is matter in which the pub

SOMETIMES TOOK LUMBER AND
SHINGLES IN PAYMENT OF
DEBTS DUE HIM DID NOT MAKE
HIM A LUMBER DEALER WITHIN
THE REVENUE LAW REQUIRING
SUCH DEALERS TO PAY a IL
CENSE TAX.
The only question in this case was
whether merchant who sometimes
took lumber. shingles, etc, in payment
of debts due him. was a lumber deal
er, and as such was subject to II fine
for not paying n license tax as suca
under the revenue act.
The court says.
Upon the findings of the jury, the
court below was of opinion that the
defendant was guilty. In this we think
there was error. Section IS, &. IL. Laws
1899, known as the Revenue Act" i'm
poses "a license tax OF $40 on lumber
dealers" The word ID saier' implies an
hab.tual course of dealing, and a ''lum-
Der dealer means one who ha b!tually
deals in lumber our revenue acts ap-
pear to have used the words dealer
and trader as synonymOus.-uSi s
sometimes one word. and sometimes the
other,-and they have been so held by
this court in State V. Yeaby. In State V.
Chadbourn. q trader" is defined as
"one engaged in trade, or in the bust
ness of buying and selling" And on
page 4S2 this court says: Still they
must be traders who buy or sell, and
not others who follow Il different occu-
patton. The offensc is contaminated
only when the act of buying or selling
is done by one whose business It is 10
buy and sell. and in the exercise of his
calling We do not mean to say that Il
man canrot be Il dealer unless he deals
exclusively in one article or class or ar
ticles. He may deal in two or more diff
fcrent lines of trade, and il would
make no difference IL his course of
dealing was principally in one line, pro-
vided he habitually dealt in the other.
The mere fact that q man whose bust
ness was that of a merchant in a
country town may sometimes as occa-
sion requires. take lumber or shingles,
or anything else, in payment of n debt,
keeps for sale. docs not make him a
dealer in such articles. within the
meaning of the statute. To hold that it
did would frequently work great hard
ship and injustice. Many u country
merchant is In n large degree depend
en-. upon the barter of his neighbour
hood, and his business might be seri-
ousy crippled, If not destroyed, If he
were subject to cumulative license tax
es upon every class of articles that he
might occasionally be compelled TO buy.
The Judgment of the court below is
reversed upon the special verdict and
n verdict OF acquittal will be entered.
Reversed.
