II the Council sticks by the express
sions and sentiments OF the Commit
tee on Ordinances, an ordinance fixing
the hours during which itinerant
hucksters and peddlers may sell their
goods along the, streets, will be
adopted.
The committee last night directed
the city attorney to prepare an ordi-
nance fixing the hours at which the
peddlers may solicit business as be-
tween nine o'clock A. NJ. and three
o'clock p. NJ. No hawking may be
INDUCED in within a block of any
school or hospital, and the saleRmen
cannot go off the block upon which his
wagon may be located.
This ordinance is designed to re-
lieve late sleepers and infants and sick
people from the noise created by the
hawkers In disposing of their wares.
A number of petitions from different
sections OF the city were read.
After Ball Players.
An ordinance eliminating the street
ball-player was adopted. This Is in
the nature of an amendment. and pro-
hibits the playing Of ball in any OF
the streets of the city.
Edward whitlook. Gilbert K. Hunt
and Major Werner appeared in favor
OF such action. Mr.. whitlock exhib-
tied a ball which had struck Mrs,
Whitlock in the eye. binding her for
some time, and incidents of similar
nature were related.
All the speakers and the committee
realized that "boys will he boys" and
that they were once boys themselves
but they figured that as the city had
provided a number Of Fairgrounds 1t
would be best not only for citizens
generally, but for the boys themselves
that bali playing In the sstreet be
eliminated. The fine accompanying
the ordinance ranges from 50 to $40
for each offense.

man George W. Rogers. In reference

dens for the city, was tabled for the
