STAND FOR ABILENE.
Two Commissioners Favor Maintain
ing Business Here.

The city commissioners at their
meeting this morning had delega-
ton of business men present to dis
cuss the matter of outside hucksters
coming here and selling vegetables
and fruits on the streets. Salina
jobbers when they have overripe fruit
sell it cheap to hucksters who drive
here, pay $3.50 license and sell it out
from the wagons. The business men
feel that the people who build up
Abilene and pay the taxes should
have the protection of the city and
asked that the license fee be raised.
Mayor Nichols and Commissioner
Roger agreed with them but Commits
sioner McCurdy opposed any fur
Their restriction on outside people sell
ing goods here and said the business
men of the city would get no such
protection from him. The matter
went over until a new ordinance can
be prepared.
Abilene is the only town in central
Kansas that does not give its home
business houses ample protection and
make outsiders pay a fair license for
doing business in this way and Mayor
Nichols and Commissioner Roger are
to be commended for their stand for
Abilene.
