City Licenses Held Valid

According to an unofficial advice
received yesterday morning in this
city by City Attorney Walter Aitken,
the supreme court has rendered a de,
cision sustaining the city of Bozeman
in its attempt to collect annual IL
cense fees for the operation of bus
and dray lines and similar kinds of
business. The decision was the re-
suit Of the failure of Frank E. Davis
and Albert E. Erickson to secure a
city license, their demurrer being sus-
tanned by the police magistrate, the
ground evidently being that of double
taxation. The supreme court held
that the license was in the nature OF
a city rule or regulation and was not
taxation in the strict ms of that
term.
