in collecting the licenses from at least
one street merchant who deals in con-
fections The limbs of the law have
tried many ways to force the afore-
said salesman to come through with
his IS fee every Monday morning. but
today were forced to give it up, be-
cause of an opinion rendered by the
city attorney. There are some bricks
in. the new city hall not yet paid for.
and it had been hoped the coin would
be forthcoming But it isn't.
And while other street merchants
fork over their money, receiving in re-
turn a receipt from the city treasurer,
Chris. Macris, whose stand is located
near Second and Main streets, can sell
his candy at cheaper price, make a
profit and laugh at the ue-coats as
they pass by. The explanation is plain
and Macris knows full well he has

Slaughter declared, the children would
