LICENSE LAW IN EFFECT.
The law In regard to the licensing Of
peddlers went into effect today. There
have been but a few licenses granted
thus far but IL is likely that number OF
sdditionai applications viii come before
the regular meeting Of the town council
which II to be held wednesday. The
matter fnds considerable favor In the
eyes OF local peddIers as II Is thought
that II viii have a tendency TO keep out
peddlers who came over from the city
when no license was charged but who
do not do enough business here to make
II an object for them to pay the license
fee In this town
Two OF the applications which have
thus far been granted are from the
Riverside district and the others are for
peddlers In other parts OF the town.
There are many % them In the town
and when It Is generally understood that
licenses must be taken out II Is thought
that there viii be a much greater num-
Der OF licenses applied for
THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
Another case Of scarlet fever has been
reported to the health department The
new case is In this end Of the town and
Just how II originated Is not known. II
Is q mild case and there In but little fear
Of a spread OF the disease.

TOWN COUNCIL
Tomorrow afternoon the town council
will hold It's regular monthly session and
II In expected that the meeting will be
an interesting one. The application OF
Christian NJ Rsrtsch for a second class

weeks ago when he had an application
in for license for the same place
IL 10 reported that this time he has the
consent Of a number OF landowners who
we're formerly opposed to the granting Of
tbel license, thus decreasing the opposi-
ton. Two Of those who were refused ap-
pointment as special constables at re-
cent meeting also have new applications
