The whole problem came to such pitch last year
that Mayor Mcclellan interdicted the Issuance OF
pushcart licenses. Renewals, however, were per-
mitted
This aided those who perpetrated the frauds OF

Notwithstanding the ban Non the issuance of new
licenses Commissioner Mitchell said that many OF
them issued and that very many so-called re-
newas were issued, usually being traffcked In
Licenses for pushcart pedlers are only dollar

Commissioner Mitchell said: Hundreds, and may
be thousands, of these licenses and renewals have

RAISE THE FUNDS.

The Citizens of Salt Lake cannot
afford TO suffer the plan to send the
High School boys to the coast to fail
through lack OF the necessary financial
support. The concert In the Taher-
naclc. which win be given for the bene-
At of the excursion fund. should be
literally patronized. The building
should be filled to its utmost seating
capacity. Each citizen should consti-
tute himself committee of one to
take UP th. matter with all his friends
and urge them TO buy tickets for that
event, even II previous engagements
prevent them from attending. The
singing and the music will be worth
none than the admission fee; but that
r. not the chief consideration. The
question is of raising the money need
ed for that trip to the coast 1t VIII
be an event in the life Of the boys. 1t
will be of immensa educational value
to them. and It will help make them
good citizens. The sight of a battle
ship is inspiring. The sight of
whole squadron Is still more so. There
is not boy who. when he sees those
majestic structures In gala attire and
listens to the deep thupders that speak
OF the marvellous forces under the con-
troll of man. viii not feel a thrill Of
patriotism and gratitude. The boys
must go to the coast. If the Taber-
nacle is filed on Friday evening, that
will help materially.
