The Answer,

Editor Ardmoreite, City.
In an article published in your
Sunday morning issue relating to
a certain show that was treated to
a dose of eggs on Saturday night,
you ask how the officers of the
city issue license to such shows.
As assessor and collector for
the city of Ardmore, l try to per
form my duty as l understand
it. Section 4 of ordinance 81
of this city reads as follows:
For small shows or minstrel
shows, exhibitions of curiosities
or monstrosities in tents or in
rooms. where the price of admis'
sion and reserved seats is twenty
five cents or less, So SO per day, oil
$12. so per week shall be collected. "
Now, the manager of this show
represented that he had such a
show and presented tax receipts
from the different towns north oi
Ardmore and at Chickasha, show.
ing that he had exhibited il
those places, and l issued his Ii
cense for one day here believing
that it was my duty to do so. i
the show proved to be immoral Of
such as should not be allowed tht
fault does not, or should not
attach to the officers of the city
In issuing the license referred to
l don't see how under the law
could refuse to do so. As it wa
represented to me that it was o.
had been exhibited in all the prin
cipal railroad towns in the Chicka
saw nation, and expected to go OIL
into Texas from here. My dut!
ended with the issuing of tn
license. w. T. ROBERTS,
City Assessor and Collector.

Before this system of keeping the imme-
