City May Refuse
To Give License

Because the Tacoma Carnival
association has as yet failed to pay
a bill of $7.s5 held against it by
the city for work done last year at
the Stadium, the city commission
today held up the associations pc
tition that they be granted all
license fees from hawkers or
street peddlers during this years

Drake were appointed to investi-

is now a private corporation, and
1t is expected that the city will
refuse this year to pay over the
license fees paid to the city clerk.
