Mr.. F. H. Dominick wanted to.
know if the committee had any
notes to show what changes, if any,
had been made in the license ordi-
nance as passed by council. He

first question, as to whether the or
dinance was desired and desirable.
Col. Johnstone, continuing, said
there were certain methods of impos-
ing a license system that he favored,
but he did not favor the method ad-
opted by council or a majority
of the committee.

upon the tax to be imposed
upon a mans property. There

tax, while the merchants here paid
their tax. If there was a phase of
the question which was just it was
that which would require a man
who comes here temporarily to bear,
not al exorbitaut, but just pro-
portion Of the burden. But the
method here proposed put a tax
upon property and then required
tax from the owIer for handling
