REGULAR MEETING
COMMISSIONERS
MAYOR AND BOARD OF CITY
COMMISSIONER HELD REGU-
LAR MEETING LAST NIGHT.

The city commissioners met in
regular session last night, with
Mayor Cotner presiding and all
members present.
The minutes of the previous meet
ing were read and duly approved
and minor reports of the commits
sioners introduced and passed upon
Two very warm discussions took
place during the session, one over
the admission of lots /, ., and 4
in the southeast part of the city,
just north of the septic tanks and
known as the reservation" l.. G..
Shelton appeared for Cyrus Pyeatt,
attorney in fact, and presented his
argument for the admission OF this
district His remarks provoked much
discussion pro and con. The vote
was taken and admittanCe granted.
An ordinance is being prepared ad-
mitting that section to the city.
y contract was let to J. II. Barrett
to drill a well on the citys proper
ty near the city lake, a motion was
also carried that a warrant of $3.50
be drawn to cover the expense for
corrugated iron culyerts used in
the city.
Commissioner owens reported that
the 1000 feet of new fire hose re-
Gently purchased by the city had
been tested, put at 400 pounds pres
sure and found up to specifications
Commissioner Bridgman next in
troduced a petition signed by the
merchants of the city protesting
against peddling wagons, accompa-
MED by an ordinance drawn and
presented TO the mayor and commits
sion fixing the license of the same
at $25, and the penalty for violation
at not to exceed 500.
After a long argument the com
mission finally agreed that a tax
of SIS be assessed against all per
sons who sold fruits, vegetables,
or any kind of produce at retail
from any car on the streets OF
Ardmore, and an ordinance to that
effect will be drafted and passed at
the next meeting.
Following is the petition presented
to the mayor and signed by Sc OF
the wholesale and retail merchants
of the city:
TO the Mayor and Board Of Com
nissioners of the City Of Ard
more:
We the undersigned merchants in
the city of Ardmore, pray that an
ordinance be enacted fixing tax
OF at least twenty-five dollars per
car on all fruit and produce ped
died on the streets of Ardmore
from cars, that the same be abso
lutely stopped.
We do not think it right that
we should pay taxes to support the
city government, to engage in le-
gitimate business and pay house
rent and be forced to compete with
outsiders who sell their goods, wares
and merchandise from cars located
on ther light of way of railroads"
