The miscellaneous committee OF the

Mayor Drennen to draw up the license
schedule for the year 1903
The committee will meet several times
before the work is completed, and a re-
port Is ready to be presented to the coun-
ell at its next meeting.
Mr.. Cooper of the Board Of Trade and
the Cooper Furniture company appeared
before the committee last nignt and re-
quested certain minor changes in the
license on furniture stores and carpets
and rugs, for his firm, and as a represen-

the committee to defer action on drafting
the licenses for two weeks. He was told
that this would be impossible. as the
license ordinance for 1903 must be adopted
before the first of January.
The committee went into executive ses-
sion. It is not probable that any great
changes will be made in the present
schedule of licenses.
