Mayor Byars, that they would have the
right to conduct auction sales. This
was an error, however as was speed
lily discovered, for the city has an or
dinance prescribing a license of $50
day for these auction sales. The
mayors error grew out Of the fact
that the ordinance in question is not
found in the citys printed Code of
Laws, having been passed more re-

he found only the ten dollar require
ment The matter was put before
council, which decided to stand by the
ordinance. The auctioneer's license
will be refunded, If desired; also the
ten dollar license, if desired, which
gives tile parties the right to conduct
BUSINESS only in the regular retail way
and is accepted in lieu Of taxes until it
is made apparent that the concern
paying such license fee has decided to
locate permanently and become tax
payers.
