Mayor A. n. Bucklin was select
ed by the council to make the trip
to Oakland and it is expected that
Ross Hickcox will accompany him
as the chamber representative.
The members of the chamber al
so took up the matter of peddler' s
licenses. 1t was intimated that
numerous peddlers are working
about the city without first taking
out license, which the directors
held is unfair to those paying an oc-
cupation license. The matter was
taken under advisemcnt by the
board and turned over to the city
attorney for investigation.
The twoplatoon fire bill met
the instant disapproval of the coun-
cllmcn. 1t is a measure which will
come before the state legislature

tered in his department because of

The board after a discussion of the
subject instructed McKibben to
continue in strict accordance with
the ordinance. The people are in
structed as to the penalties imposed
if the tax is not paid by n written

they should complain if they do not
pay on time, the board held.
In regard to mailing checks in
that all checks mailed, showing
postmarks of the 10th or previous
dates, would be accepted without
penalty included.
The council passed ordinance No.
