On account Of gthe death Of Mr.. T. n.
Robertson, father Of Mr.. Bernard -. Rob
ertson, the marriage OF Mr.. Robertson
and Miss Elsie Carter Gary, Of Swans
OF the bride on 1.-THE 18th. It was orgi-}
nally announced gthat the marriage would
he in West End Methodist Church. The
plans were altered because of the death
of the father OF the prospective groom.
Appeal Necessary.
Among municipal officers, especially
and throughout the city generally, the
resolution OF Assemblyman c. c. Jones
requesting the Mayor and the commits
sioner OF revenue to appear before the
Ordinance Committee and give an inter
probation OF the q ordinance regulating
butchers and meat dealers in the city
was a source OF great interest yesterday.
Through courtesy to the author of the
resolution and to the other members OF
the Council, the commissioner and the
executive head Of the city may appear
before the members Of the committee,
but there Is reason to believe that neither
will be present. Inadvertently. 1t was
said yesterday, morning that the Mayor
had fined Mr. Kahn $40, Mr.. Maurice
only decided that ,aslicense. Of sl0 for
dealing in fresh meats was all that was
necessary for the ) merchant nor to secure seq
the commissioned Of revenue.
otIit If tlirtnrasts In the ron -
troversy is that there Is an ordinance OF
the city which prohibits any butcher
from killing within the city limits. Then,
1t Is argued, If a. dealer in fresh meats
did mot kill ingsthe city, but simply
handled the meats he did not in the
strictest sense Of the word come under
the head of .'butchcr.' Mr.. Kahn
handles fresh meat which he has killed
In Chesterfield county as an adjunct to
other business.
