 of the night. Aldermen Lobman and J. c. Tyson insisted that each was look f ing at the matter in the right way, the
 result of the voting being that he committees report was adopted. The point was made that the license of $25O is usually required whenever foreign goods are brought into the oity and disposed of at bankrupts sale The license of $s0 was the same that
