A peti- tion signed by practically all of the mer- chants on Broad street had been present. ed to the council at the previous months meeting and referred to the committee on revenue and taxation. The petition had only to deal with those persons who handled notions. dry goods, etc., on nov able stands about the city, but the com mittees report included an amendment to the license code requiring N00 license paid annually in advance from all Ian erants whether stands. foot or wagon pedders. Under its provision even the fruit peddler who carries his wares around in a basket would have been barred There developed opposition to the scheme and the amendment was referrd to the special committee of the council on revision Of the license code. It Is not believed in it's present drastic condition that the amend ment can be passed.
