Tuesday night by the council COM

Barnett, Gilman and Nowc because

bacco dealers and prohibited the sale
OF cigarettes within 600 feet OF school
buildings, Barnett arguing that such
regulation would unjustly force a
number of small storekeepers out OF
business.
In Barnett's proposed new measure
the license fee is fixed at the nominal
sum of one dollar, and the mayor is
given the power TO revoke a dealers
license after two convictions. II does
not prohibit the sale OF tobacco in

Two of the expert accountants of the community. C. L. Diehl and F.. G.
