system. The request was referred to
the committee in charge of that depart
ment.
City photographers appeared and put
in a protest against allowing travelling
photographers such as have recently
been making the rounds of the city
taking baby contest pictures and so
forth. These people make quite a
difference in the receipts of the local
photographers and they felt that they
should have the same protection that
other established merchants have from
''peddlers' They asked an ordinance
to control the situation and the matter
was turned over to the city attorney.

Machine Gun Company amounting to
$3.50 was granted. A transfer of liquor

Poeckert to Frank Gruber and from
John Schreyer to John Schiller and Art.
Schleif would be granted at the proper
time.
