the payment of 4 yearly license by the
owners of all vehicles engaged in the
business Of hauling freight, express
matter or tho transfer of merchandise
Of any nature, which has been hanging
fire before the City Council for some
time, was passed by the Council Mon"
day night and goes into effect imme-
diately. The new ordinance IS sub,
stantially the same in form as the old
one as TO charges for licenses, though
some slight changes are made in this
| respect, but the main change IS the
provision that the licenses must be pro
| cured and paid for one year IN ad-
vance, the year dating from the second
of each January.
The ordinance was revised principally
on the request of those regularly en-
| gagged in the transfer business in the
city who desire the protection 1t will
afford from large number OF people
| who yearly come into the city in the
fall and only remain during the winter
months to conduct n transfer business,
and which they have been doing in the
past for the most part without paying
| any license at all.
| A petition was received by the Coun-
| Gil from farmers, hucksters and some
of the merchants on West First South
street in this city, in which the Council
| is asked to provide suitable market
place where the farmers may gather for
the distribution of their produce to the
hucksters and produce houses. The Pc
tition is signed by about 200 parties, in

The majority report OF the special
