The city council judiciary commit.
tee on Monday by vote of 6 to 4 vot-
ed for the repeal of the anti.noise
ordinance which prohibits peddlers
from calling their wares on the street.
The committee sent in its recommcn.
dalton to the council Monday night,
and 1t was ordered deferred and pub.
lished. The question will be called
up for passage at the next meeting Of
the council.
In repeating the old ordinance the
committee recommended the passage
of new one which gives anyone the
right to call their wares any time ex-
cept between the hours of 4 o'clock
in the afternoon and 0 o'clock the fol.
lowing morning.
Last week Corporation Counsel Sex.
ton gave an opinion to the effect that
restricting peddlers from calling their
wares during specified hours was class
legislation, and therefore illegal. The
proposed ordinance doesn't give any.
one permission to call their wares at
any time. but 1t only forbids the call.
ing Of wares between the times speci.
fed. BY drawing the ordinance this
way the attorneys for the peddlers
hope to have It declared legal.
