In reviewing the work Of the super
lntendent of licenses for the year, the
Commissioners say they are consider
ing asking Congress to revoke the
present law governing the Issuance of
licenses for automobiles and the levy
Ing OF tax on these vehicles. The
city heads express tho belief that the
present method should be substituted
by q tax based on the horsepower of
pleasure cars and the tonnage of
0olid-tired commercial machines.
Supt Wade H. Coombs issued 11.sl4
miscellaneous business licenses during
the year, for which fees amounting to
$136.908 were paid. Continuing under
this head. the report states:
"Since the enactment of the present
license laws, the major part of which
are embraced in the act of Congress
approved July 1. 1902 (32 stat. pt. /,
SID. many Of the conditions under
which they were adopted have
changed, and many new conditions
related to new classes of business
have arisen. which obviously require
that the license laws should be re-
Vised to more nearly comport with
such progress"

Sale of Deadly Weapons.
The need for more stringent law
against the sale and possession of
deadly weapons again is urged. On
this subject the report reads:
Under existing law any person may
secure a deadly and dangerous weapon
for any purpose whatever at any store
or from any person authorized to deal
in such weapons by giving to the
person from whom he procures such
weapon his name and address, with
out being subject to investigation as
to the character and standing of the
person procuring such weapon or of
the use he intends to make Of it. In
order to preclude the sale of weapons
for unlawful purposes, the existing
law should be so amended as to re-
quire the written approval by the ma
condition precedent to the delivery of
any such weapon by one person to
another"
The Commissioners also tell Con-
