special committee Of the Chamber Of
Commerce. voiced his protest Of the
measure. taking issue with the pro-
posed action. from the standpoint of
business being injured by the passage
Of the ordinance.
Mr. Siradley then called on repre-
sertatives of various lines Of bust
ness. Edward II. Pusey. on behalf of
the New Castle county section Of the
Deiawars State Coal Club. said the
measure would have a most serious
effect on the coal business and would
simply mean additional increases In
the cost OF coal to the consumer.
Benjsmi Smedley. lumber mer-
chant. said the proposed ordinance is
unjust and opposed il from the same
viewpoint as Mr.. Pusey.
A D. Warner. Jr.. contended that
the effect on interstate traffic would
be most serious problem. He said
tina, the measure as proposed. If made
a law. would result in large volume
OF business being driven from this
city. To impose n tax on every Ve-
hicie using the streets ~ the city
would only result in hundreds Of
trucks keeping out OF the city, he
said
William i. White. representing the
laundry business. said the ordinance
if passed. would stop the development
OF the city.
James Lowe. in the truck business
said that visiting trucks would steer
clear of this city and that when VIII
mington vehicles visited other cities
they would have a license to pay
50 that they would eventually he
driven out Of business. Mr.. Lowe
urged an amendment that would ex-
empt the transient trucks coming "a
this city from paying license fee
Holstein Harvey said the ordinance
would drive business from this CITY
az many firms Of this city depend
largely upon the down state mer-
chants who come TO this city and haul
their purchases away IN their own
trucks. o. &. Purdy. representing the
oil people, said the tax would be a
great burden. Mr.. Wood, of Conly
Brothers. said that his firm often has
vehicles out on the street only q few
days during the year.

reason. Mr.. McNabb said he would
not vote for the ordinance.

McManus asked for the sentiment of
the delegation in regard to increased

be rigidly enforced?" When he re-
ceived an affirmative response he said
that some of the prominent speakers

morning for delinquent licenses.
