AMENDMENTS TO
CITY LICENSE Law
Final Action by Council Tonight
Reaching More Professions
and Businesses.

The new license ordinance, An amend
ment to the one recently passed. was
considered by the City Council, meeting
as a committee Of the whole last night.
the new ordinance will probably be pre-
sented to Council for final action tonight.
The measure, which passed first and Sec
ond readings over a month ago, has been
in the hands of the city solicitor, who has
been making some change to meet the
demands made since its presentation.
Clerk Homer Simmons urged the passing
of the ordinance, because every day he
receives applicants for license which arc
not necessary under the existing ordinance,
but will be in the list Of 66 professions
and businesses included in the new
measure.
Numerous complaints against the feature
of the recently-passed ordinance whereby
an individual lawyer must pay q S25 Zee,
while a firm Of several lawyers needs to
pay only the same amount, led to the
discussion of the amendment. President
George r. Lyon brought the matter be-
fore the committee, saying: This is only
another instance where the little fellow
is squeezed and the big fellow gets away
with it. The small attorney is not getting
a square deal under this ordinance as 1t ls
framed, and | am in favor of having it
amended"

TO USE VOLUNTEERS.
This Plan Decided Upon By the Com.
munity Service.

As much OF the general work of the
Community Service as can be handled by
volunteers will be turned over during the
coming year, according TO an announce
ment of the executive committee. 1t Is
the intention of the officials of the organ
ixation TO do away with as much hired
help as possible In order to teach the people
of the CITY 10 be self-sustaining and self
sufficient In a recreatlonal as well as In an
economic way.
Because of the economy this viii mean
in the operation of the Community
Service, the plan is meeting with hearty
approval from business and professional
men of the city. The amount of talent In
Wilmington in all lines of community en-
deavor and the Willingness of the people to
assist the organizations seems assured.
Sings will be led by song leaders who
have been developed by the Community
Service song leaders school or others
who will be trained later A great deal of
the direction of the athletic work of the
city will be turned over to men who have
shown a keen interest in the advance
ment OF sport. Recreational classes are to
be started soon, which should provide
workers for the city's Fairgrounds. In
this manner, Wilmington, according to
John p. Nields, general chairman, will
not only be providing its own amusements
but will also be directing and managing
them.
