The joint committee on licenses OF the
city council, which consists OF Aldermen
Reynolds and Gray and Councilmen Sis
son, Bixby, Miller and Kenyon. has been
considering the proposed ordinance for
long time, and quite recently a public
hearing was given. at which LIME protests
against the passage OF the bill were
made.
The passage OF the act is being pushed
by the New York. New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad company, the Union Rail-
trio Lighting company and the Provi-
dence Telephone company. for these cor
porations have lost great deal OF prop
erty, which II is claimed has found it's
way into the hands OF unprincipled junk
dealers.
This fact is not disputed, but the srgu-
ment is raised. and undoubtedly with
truth on its side that there are many
reputable junk dealers, who do business
on a large scale, who will be very ser-
ously effected by the passage of the hill
in its present form.
The people who oppose the passage OF
the bill are not opposed 10 the passage of
an ordinance that will put a stop TO any
dishonest practices that may exist but
they claim that the provisions of such
an ordinance should be established on a
common sense basis.
THE TEN DAY CLAUSE
The fifth clause OF section ] of the bill
provides that every person licensed 10
buy and sell junk shall keep any prop
erty purchased or received by him for a
period OF ten days from and after the
report required TO be made by him TO the
chief ot police as hereinafter provided:
and during said period such property
shall not be disfgured or treated i'm any
way by which its identity may be de-
stroyed or affected"
IL is claimed by the opponents OF the
bill that this clause will work great in
justice 10 dealers, as IL may be the means
of preventing advantageous sales from
being made, but the friends of the bill re-
tort that permission may be secured from
the chief OF police to sell the property be-
fore the expra ton of ten days.
This, however, IL Is coutended is BY no
means re-assuring. as I'm the first place
the permission from the chief must be
given In writing. which takes time and

with impunity. This is that the ma

parents could not tell them apart.

Rose declared the change was only
momentary and that she stepped back
before the ceremony. The guests
were divided on the question and the
minister said that in the confusion
he had not noticed. The result Is
that two husbands do not know which
their wives are. They cannot legally
be married second time for fear Of

which girl to name in the court pa
