PIan-The Hucksters' Troubles Are
Generally Discussed.
The popular cry is for the restoration
to the hucksters of what was their priv
ilege to sell their wares on the streets
without licenses, at any hours and without
fear of molestation by the police. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether this privilege
will be allowed. The green groders and
the butchers are against it. but the house
keepers. the people generally and the
hucksters are for it.
Alderman CAVITY wants to see the buck
sters restored to their old rights, those
that were unquestioned until few days
ago, when orders for the arrest of any
of them selling without licenses and dur
ing market hours were issued. The al
derman makes just one reservation, and
that it that the hucksters should be re-
CURED to pay nominal license.

The green grocers seem to me to be

am not an advocate of trust principles,
and do not believe the hucksters should
be cut out of their rights. 1 want to see
them restored to their former privileges,
before the enforcement of the ordinance
was thought of, save for the small Ii
cense, and l shall advocate such meas
ures before Council. L want to see the
hucksterS permitted to sell at any hours.
1T is a necessity that the negroes who
have been plying their pursuit of buck
sters should be allowed to continue their
work. They do not make much, il is true,
but they make enough to, in some way
provide them with A livelihood If they
are cut out of that, it is only natural to
presume that some of them, at least, will
be forced to steal
Landlords are suffering because of the
restrictions that have been placed upon
the hucksters. Quite number of the
occupants of houses get the money to paw
their rentals from what they receive from
selling produce on the streets With This
source of income cut off, they find it i'm,
possible to nav their landlords. IT will
certainly be a serious Inconvenience to
the people of the cttv and a decided loss
to a large class If the present conditions
continue
