Refused License.
An applicant who wanted a license
to operate lunch wagon on the street
was refused a permit. The mayor
took occasion TO mention again his
well known views on this subject.
"I have always been opposed TO
have lunch wagons and peanut stands
on the streets of the CITY," declared
his honor. Not only are the fumes
from the garlic and onions offensive,
but the red hot wagons give the city
decidedly village aspect. l do not
think the city ought to give permits
10 these men, who work in competition
to restaurant men and other ZINES of
legitimate trade. The local men pay
taxes and help keep up the city gov
eminent and should be protected"

announced Commissioner
Rudgren. This license fee of SIS is
more than most of the restaurant men
of this city are paying in taxes
However, none of the commission
ers would father a resolution provid-
tn fOr the vssnauca 0f the license
and the matter was dropped.
