Fairchild opposed any plan to raise
license fees. He said that dependent
as she is on outside attractions, Ha-
wall should make some inducements
to bring theatrical companies here,
and not try to keep them away with
high licenses. For himself. he said
that he would be rather in favor OF
cutting out the license altogether.
Coelho talked in the same strain,
saying that theatrical attractions
should be encouraged rather than
fought away.
Mccarthy objected to any prOhibi-

cities. For himself he approved of
a $3.50 per diem fee, or an annual
fee Of $500 for those concerns giving
performances continuously.
