them to do than ever before un-
der the prohibition laws. Coun-
Gilman Martin suggested a mo-
tor truck of some sort, but
Councilman Mckinney opposed
this. He thought better results
| might be obtained with a horse
drawn vehicle. The question
was referred to a committee
composed of Councilmen McKin-
ney, Crutcher and Chief of Po-
lice Devore, upon motion OF
Councilman Hamilton.
Representing six or eight
dairymen, Attorney ]. P. Che
nault offered an ordinance pro-
viding for a license of $40 year
on all engaged iii that business
He said it was not aimed at any
one who sold his surplus of milk
to a neighbor, but was desired
by the regular dairymen, who,
he said, thought they were en-
titled to protection in their bus;-
ness. 1t was pointed out that at
this time of the year many sell
milk and the regular dairymen
are forced to meet cut price
and are unable to maintain Their
equipment and business if the
bottom is allowed to drop out OF
the business
Attorney Greenleaf, sitting
nearby, asked if it was a pro
tective tariff they sought or for
revenue only
! City Attorney Rice suggested
: that he believed that the cit
might license milk wagons or We
hicles, but did not believe that 4
license could be enforced on am
individual who might want t.
sell milk. He said the courts had
repeatedly held that man fniglh'
sell the produce of his farm c
garden without being require
to have license.
After considerable debate o,
the subject, the whole matte
went over to July |, when tn
annual license ordinance will b
taken up again by the council,
Councilman Crutcfer-s suo
gestion that the police bell b
put back in service was adopte
by the body. 1t will be hung O
The city hall and will ring wher-
ever there is a phone call for the
police, so that if they are on
on patrol they may hear it all
ascertain where they are wante'
by calling telephone. Nj
Crutcher said that many peopl
all the station house, find II
one there and think that the pc
lice are asleep somewhere, Whe'
n reality they are out Oh patro
duty.
Mr.. Crutcher also sought il
formation from Street Commits
sioner Altman as to how man
of the jail prisoners he had bee
working on the streets. He sal
he noted from the police report
and the jailer's bill that IS me
had spent - days in jail. He il
sisted that these men be WOrke
on the streets at hard labor. N
Crutcher aso wanted greater di'
igence used in collection Of df
linquent licenses. He said Il
noted that II firms still owe
for the years license. Mr.. Rlt
told of efforts he has made. ]
was decided that perhaps the
best way would be to take OH:
warrants for those who have
been doing business without il
cenSe.
Councilman Benton called at
tention to water running over
the property of John Hurst on
Walnut street and Councilman
Martin wanted to know why
city scales are not rebuilt. The
