LONDON DENIES FREEDOM
TO STREET MERCHANTS
Dealers of the Gutter Must Be Req
istered by New
Decree.


LONDON, October !. 1912
The street hawkers in London are no
longer to enjoy the irresponsible freedom
that has been their privilege from time
immemorial These itinerant merchants
of the gutter have grown so tremendously
in numbers Of late years that with their
b2rrows and other impedimenta of their
trade. they have rendered the ever in
creasing traffic of London streets ex-
tremely difficult to control
So the police stepped in with the view
of limiting the number, and under powers
they acquired by city of London act of
1911 the street vender from today will be
duly registered, and. will be known as
officially qualified to trade by wearing on
his arm metal oval-shaped badge and
number issued by the commissioner of
police.
Any trader who has carried on the
business in the city of London for a
period of three years or longer. prior to
January 1, 1911, is entitled to apply to be
registered. Altogether, 1900 men and
women sent in their names and up to
the present from 1900 to 200 licenses
have been issued. The licenses will die
out with the existing holders. for the in
tentiOn Is to grant no more after TODAY
So that one may look for the remark
able phenomenon of trade in which
competition must surely and steadily de-
crease until the day comes-it may be not
till fifty years or more have passed-when
the last hawker in splendid isolation shall
be called upon to serve the whole city
full of hurrying clerks with the fruit
and other things they buy today at the
pavement's edge. And then he himself
will die and will probably be buried in
st. Pauls. Certainly he ought to be-
News vendors are unaffected by the
order.
1t seems natural enough. somehow. that
the city hawller should be following into
oblivion the old horse bus driver, with
whom he mad 50 many bouts of chaff and
assisted so heartily in the general farce
of the London streets.
