| the stable men keep the streets rs
clear of vehicles as possible and avoid
hindering traffic, then the stable men
see how the ordinance may not prove
Objectionable to them. Otherwise they
seem to think that it is necessary for
them to let the public know, especiai-
ly their customers, that they will be
unable to accommodate more than a
small number of their friends fron
the country on busy days.
Yesterday brought to the city
large number of people from the
country and served in this particular
as good example of how the ordi-
nance would hinder the stable men,
if it were strictly enforced A large
number of farmers and others from
the country came to town and put up
their teams in the stables If the sta
BILE men are required to house all OF
the bpggies that come, their space
soon exhausted. If, however, they are
permitted to leave the vehicles parked
in the streets, then much larger
number can be cared for. 1t is for
this reason and because of the fact
that such an ordinance, it is believ-
ed, would actually work hardship on
people from the country and hurt the
trade of the town, that the stable men
are opposed to it.
The matter will likely come up be-
fore council for consideration at its
session tomorrow night, as discussion
is likely to be had upon the new or
dinance in view of the lively opposi-
ton to it that has developed among
the stable men of the city. 1t is
thought that no strict Interpretation
of the ordinance will be insisted up
on, as it would manifestly be hurtful
and inimical to the large number OF
people from the surroundinf country
who come to the city on all trade days
and who depend upon the stable men
caring for their horse and teams.

LIVERY STABLE MEN OPPOSE
new ORDINANCE OF COUNCIL
They Claim That If 1t Is Strictly Enforced 1t viii Pract
CaIy Prevent Them From Accepting Large Part Of
the Business That Is Available

No small amount of opposition has
arisen among the livery stablemen of
the city to the barring of vehicles
from the streets in accordance with
strict Interpretation of an ordinance
recently passed by city council
Practically every livery stable man
in the city is of the opinion that if the
ordinance referred to is strictly en-
forced that it will take away. a large
part of their business and greatly in
convenience their customers, as the
ordinance when strictly interpreted
contemplates the barring of all We
hicles from the streets.
1t is a well recognized fact thar
even the largest stables in the city
are able to accommodate a small
number of teams, if the buggies as
wei as the horses, that pulls them are
to be gotten off the streets as is indi-
Gated in the provisions of the ordi-
nance The old way has been to take
all the horses that can be accommo-
dated and to leave the vehicles park
ed on the streets so as not to inter
fere with traffic. In this way the sta
bles can accommodate a large num-
Der of teams.
Unless they are permitted to house
only the horses and mules and not
the vehicles which they draw, the liz
cry stable men say that it will be
impossible for them to accommodate
more than very small number of
their customers, for the simple reason
that they have but little space when
it comes to filling it up with vehicles,
which take up so much space so
quickly.
