LICENSE TAX FOR
CHARITY BAzAARS.
Richmond City Council viii
Consider Ordinance to
This End. K
DEALERS. COMPLAIN
Movement to Compel License Taxes
from All Such Enterprises May.
Spread Over Commonwealth.

Richmond, July G.-Charity ba-
zaars, church ice cream fetes, ana
restaurants operated for day or
two at a time in some worthy cause,
will be required to pay city tax
for the privilege of doing business
if an ordinance that comes up for
passage by the Common Council to-
nicht becomes law. The measure has
already been approved by the Finance
Committee, and has the support OF
marry Individual members, Should
the measure be adopted, the move
ment to such entertainments will, 1t
is believed, spread in the State.
The immediate inspiration of the
ordinance, it is said, is the charity
restaurant business, which during
certain seasons Of the year-partic-
ularly about Christmas time-as-
sumes respectable proportions. Com
plaint is made by the regular res
taurants. which pay a license to 90
business and maintain establish
ments at high fixed expense, that
the charity restaurant enterprises
make serious inroads in their busi-
ness, subiecting them to a competi-
ton that is not altogether fair.
Under the provisions of the pend
ing ordnance ar occasional restau-
rant of the charity type, as well as
ali o,ner enterprises furyhczing CHAR
table ends by the sale Of food or
merchandise, will be taxed SO a
year. Permits will be issued also for
periods less than a year, but no Ii
ccnse is to cost less than $3.50. A
$3.50 license will permit the partic-
ular church or society holding it to
conduct charitable enterprise Of
the kind described for period of
three months. The significant clause
in the ordinance reads:
"All societies and committees pre-
rescnting churches or other religious
or charitable institutions, before Of
fering to sell cr selling any article
Of clothing, furniture, food, confec-
tionary or article Of merchandise
within the city Of Richmond, shall
obtain a license from the Commits
sicncr of Revenue Of the city Of
Richmond, for the privilege, and
shall be liable to, and pay, an annual
tax of SlO.'
The language Of the ordinace is
general enough to make it apply to
all charity enterprises Of whatever
nature. While the quarterly tax Of
| $3.50 is nominal, it will apply with
out distinction TO Sunday School
fetes at which the sale Of ice cream
ard pastry IS the chief source of in
come, rummage sales, and elaborate
bazaarS.
