confers upon anyone the right TO re-
tail ice on the streets of Brunswick
without the payment of any License
fee. 1t is thought that this will rem
edy the unsatisfactory situation that
has existed here almost since the be-
ginning of the summer season.
The petition as filed with the coun>
Gil last night reads as follows
We the undersigned citizens and
residents of the City of Brunswick re-
spectfully petition your honorable
body asking that such license CT IL
censes as may be required for the
purpose of retailing ice within the
city limits of Brunswick be for the
remainder of the year 1919 repealed
or that any party or parties seeking
to retail ice for the remainder of the
year 1916 be allowed to do so without
the payment of the licenses as re-
quired by the ordinance of the City
OF Brunswick.
We, the undersigned, further ask
that if there is any contract or con-
tracts now existing relative to he
exclusive righs OF the Glynn Ice Co,
to furniShi ice to the residents and
citizens of the city, that the same
be revoked Or repealed. it being a
matter of universal knowledge that
the said Glynn Ice CO. is net giving
satisfactory service, is not furnish
ing the city the amount OF ice nee
essary either in quantity or quality
and has doubtless violated all agree
ments with reference thereto as may
have been previously agreed to by
them by their contracts with said
city.
In the repeating or relieving from
the licenses for the remainder Of the
year 1919, and the obrogation Of any
agreement made amt entGred into
by said city and the Glynn Ice Com
pany, if such an agreement was en-
tered into, it will thus enable others
to furnish and sell ice within the linn
its of said city thus furnishing the
ate with her needs.
The petition was signed by more
than fifty prominent citizens
