Chairman: Richholt from the COM
.;mnlittee on ordinances fayorably re-
ported, with amendments, the ordi-!
nance granting the 500 the use of a!
part of Broadway and recommended
that the ordinance as so amended be
passed. 49, y y, y,> +, -, -. Il.
q. g Patterson, expressed his sur,
prise that the alderman from the
Sixth ward should advocate something
that was contrary to law, this case
being similar in procedure to that
taken in the, matter of yacating the
alley for the mill. He said the ordi-
nance would be illegal if passed as the
law provided a way to give streets
away to corporations and that law
should be followed just the same in
this case as in the mill case. He
moved: moved to indefinitely postpone the
ordinance, which was seconded by
Homer. FIJI
Richholt said such grants had
always been given by ordinance in
the past and as the city attorney had
drawn the ordinance he supposed it
was according to law. therefore he
moved the adoption of the committee
report.
Mr.. Patterson said that either the
WAY they had gone about the mill re-
quest was wrong or this was wrong;
that the 500 didn't need the street;
that the 500 had made lot of
premises when the whole east end of
town was given it but had forgotten
them. He said he was willing to do
all that was possible to help the road
that was in reason provided that the
city got value received for its fayors;
If that was assured he would favor
giving them part of the street. -,
Riehhplt moved as . substitute to
Mr.. Patterson's motion to lay on the
table that the matter be referred back
to The city attorney for his opinion on
the legality Of the proposed ordinance,
which motion was carried, siattery,
Patterson, Fisher, Wilcox and Horner

The Apple Ordinance. L.
The ordinance. committee favoFably
reported the ordinance licensing
peddlers Of produce who come. from
outside the county 10 do BUSINESS, the
ordinance being aimed more particu-
larly at the box car vendors of apples.
Tatley thought it was a poor ordi-
nance as Il prohibited local people
from buying potatoes, etc, which were
shipped in by boat, etc. Slattery said
It was q good thing as it prevented
itinerants who paid no taxes from
coming into town with lot, Of stuff
andfgetting away with 5000 or 5000 of
local money; that It was designed to
protect the dealers.
Alderman Peterson said the ordi-
nance was intended to prevent people
from buying apples cheaper than the
dealers sold them AMI he was against
that idea. s sSa:s ..:.*4s s,
n Richholt admitted that was the
trend Of the ordinance and justified it
on the ground that local dealers paid
the taxes and rents and therefore
could not compete with those dealers
who only paid the freight from Iowa
here and did their retailing from the
car. t.s

final passage and tailed 10 pass by, a
