 Petition DisaIloWed.
 The miscellaneous committee submitted the following report:
 Whereas, It appears to the committee, as 1t did before the graduating of the H. cense schedule for the year 1901, that it was nothing but fair and right that all special privileges should be placed upon the same representation, and in view of the fact that the petition from certain merchants for reduction only means that the smaller merchants should pay a H. cense according to the full valuation of their stock, while the others would have the privilege of doing business on much less basis, we therefore recommend that no change be made In Section of the license schedule for 1901.
 Tn support of the above recommends tion we call attention to the fact the board, at their last meeting, appropri- ated some $12000 or S150o0 for the increase of the fire department, and further ap- propriation of some $5000 or $1O,000 for schools and other purposes and that we will be called upon from time to time during the coming year for still further appropriations for school purposes, etc., IHtTelOTe Dt Il ItSOiNCOj liieib oe'iN poti- tion he disallowed.'
 A motion was made to concur in the re- port.
 Other Matters. Alderman Camp moved that in cases where the license inspector believed the assessment was too low he should report the fact to the board before proceeding to force collector. An amendment was adopted to the effect that where there is a difference between the assessment for the privilege tax and the ad valorum tax that the matter shall be brought before the board before collection is forced A light was ordered placed at Fourth avenue and Eighteenth street, in front Of the Hillman Hotel.
