msnt 10 section .. that provision be
introduced providing that for soliciting
orders for the enlargement OF photo
graphs aud pictures, $50 be charged
Councilman Sisson was OF the opinion
that this could not be done, because So
licittng was neither selling or Offering
Tor sale, and i'm this view he was warmly
supported by Councilman Cooke. Coun-
Gilman Bixby then withdrew his amend
ment

nance was then adopted as recommended
by Councilman Cooke.
TALKED ABOUT JUNK.
From the committee on ordinance, also
came an ordinance concerning dealers
I'm junk and secondhand articles, which
was returned by the committee without
any recommendation whatever.

mon council concur with the board OF
aldermen In the passage OF the ordi-
nance ana his motion was seconded by
Councilman Grady,
Councilman Gushing moved to amend
section by making the fee for junk
dealers S25 instead of $50 and that the

motion was seconded by Councilman
Gardiner and Balch.

knew good deal about the junk gath
ercrs that lived in the Ghetto, and he
knew that II IL was not for their chill
dren selling papers and backing boots

Councilman Cushing offered an amend
ment 70 paragraph 3. section ]. provid-
ing that none but keeper of a shop
shall be compelled TO keep a book in
other words not making itobigatory
upon the gatherers To keep record
book.
NEED POLICE COMMISSION.
Mr., Cushing argued that many OF the
junk gatherers We're unable 20 read and
write. and after paying a license fee OF
80 they coule hardly be expected TO carry
around with them an expert bookkeeper
armed with an ink horn and goose quill
Councilman Higgins said that he had 1s
years or experience I'm the junk business.
and In his opinion the keeping Of "A record
by the gatherers would amount 20 abso-
lutely nothing IL was simply a desire
upon the part OF the police To have some
body do their work for them while they
sat I'm the Office. instead OF going around
among junk dealers as they s4.ould. The
gatherers would not make any returns
that would help the police.
Councilman McGuiupess said that N
the members OF the council listened 10
the police they would get their hll of "hot
air. lie believed the police should look
into the junk business themselves. What
the city needed badly was police com
mission.

Gushing was then put. and on viva
