DEMAND HE CHANGE ABOUT

Councilman r. ]. Wilson, OF Me-
chanicsburg. Is having his troubles
today. since his vote to amend the II.
censa ordinance. In the license com
mlttee. has come to the ears Of his
constituency. II is all on account OF
the relation OF the license ordinances
TO the apportionment ordinance
which carries an appropriation for a
permanent bridge over Island creek.
When the apportlonment ordinance
was drawn the $4,000 for the first
snstailment OF the bridge fund was
placed in a department by Itself and
considered the last. The declaration
was plainly made, and II there should
be a shrinkage In the city revenue
from any source. the bridge fund
should be taken care OF last, and
should not receive any money until
everything elese was satisfied.
The apportionment provides for the
use OF every cent Of estimated revenue
from the license ordinance and the
proposed amendment for which Coun-
Gilman Wilson voted would cut out
not only the $40 900 for the bridge
but several other important improve
ments.
