AT the meeting of the city council
Thursday night an ordinance was
passed leving heavy daily license fees
upon shows, carnivals and other con-
cessions which desire to use the
north side city park for picnics, car
nivals and other enterprises for pri-
vate gain. The license fee for shows
is SIS per day for Merry Go Rounds
$25 per day. and for other smaller
concessions such as refreshment and
hamburger stands, five dollars per
day.
During the past few years the
park. which was procured as
pleasure ground for the entire city,
has been often used for pirnics, car
nivals and other celebrations for
private gain, and the result has been
that the trees of the park have been
scared and that it has been Uttered
by rubbish of every description.
A committee from the Chamber of
Commerce, backed up by the local
Federation of Womens clubs, re-
quested that the council either put
a stop to the promiscious and dam
aging use of the park in these ways
or set license price that would pro-
hibit such use, and the council came
across. The ordinance does not car
ry the emergency clause and goes
into effect thirty days after its pas
sage and publication.
