nounced today.
Ray disclosed that to date ONLY
$141,875 Of more than $3.50, 900 in

we do not want to arrest repu-
table business men for failure to
display city licenses on their trucks,
or for failure to pay any of the

those for rooming houses, taxi cabs,
theaters, secondhand shops, and

City Gives Leeway
"Clty Controller Sterling r. Holt
and I believe that most of the de-
Hnquency is due to the fact that
business men do not realize that
they are violating the law. Many
are under the impression that they
have until March 1 to pay. We
usually do not start driving to col
lect fees until Feb. /, but that is
merely q matter of courtesy. the
same as the state automobile license
department extends. Every city
license fee, except that on dogs, is
due Jan. l. Dog licenses must be
paid by June l."
Ray pointed out that the city
means business when its says arrests
will be made, citing that several de-
linQuents have been fined by
Municipal Judge G. r. Cameron.
With this assurance of support
from the court, we will drive as hard
as possible if continued delinquency
makes that necessary said the in
SpectOr.
