FIGHT AGAINST LICENSE
ORDINANCE IS STARTED
Twenty Men Begin Circulation of
Referendum Petitions to
Submit New Law

Twenty men, under the direction of
Otto Rech, began work yesterday cir
culating referendum petitions to have
the new license ordinance submitted to
a vote of the people. The banks and
public utility corporations are especial
iy interested in the defeat of this ordi-
nance, as its provisions greatly increase
the license fees they will have to pay.
1t is the plan to secure only suffi-
cient number of names to submit the
matter to vote at the next general
election, and not at a special election,
unless the council chooses to place it
on the ballot at the election for coun-
cilmen in June. If the operation of the
ordinance Is suspended the old ordl-
nance will be effective and the city
will get as much in license fees as it
does now.
