At the regular meeting of city
council last night, letter was
read from the Florida League of

rious bills that will be introduced
in the legislature in the interest of
Florida communities, inviting the
city to cooperate in drafting any
amendments or bills that it may
desire to be sent to the legisla-
ture in the interest of this city
particularly. 1t was decided that
the council will meet with the

time in the near future for the
purpose of discussing the question,
especially that of making amend
ments to the city charter.
The matter of issuing city scrip
was brought before the meeting

chants and all others for the pur-
pose of ascertaining who will
agree to enter the movement
whereby the scrip in question will
gain as wide a circulation as pos

become familiar with the plans
pertaining to the handling of the

quest in the matter was very
specific. stating that 1t would ex-
pect reply from the company not
later than Wednesday of the conn
ing week at which time it is ex-
pected that the matter will be

INSPECTOR ON
STATE TAGS FOR
AUTOS ARRIVES
ALL NOT HAVING PAID UP
RUNNING TO c ov E r.;
CHAUFFEUR WITH PRIVATE
LICENSE FIRST CAUGHT

Automobile owners are on the
run because the state tag inspec-
tor is in the city and has already
started the work of rounding up
those who have failed to procure
the necessary license.
About Id owners were notified
last night and this morning that
they had until 3 o'clock to procure
licenses from George Gomez, tag
agent for Monroe. If at the con-
Iclusion Of that period licenses had
mot been bought warrants for the
arrest Of the delinquents were to
be issued.
OF the number notified several
were taxi drivers, whose Iicanses
approach the 500 mark and more
than that when is added the %
percent additional for not pur-
chasing within the prescribed
time. The balance were private
cars.
w. Il. Van Loon, who was Chief
deputy sheriff in Dade county UNI
der Sheriff Henry Chase, is the
state inspector and came in yes
terday unheraIded. He quietly
made his appearance for the rea-
son. as he told The Citizen, that
lif advance news of his arrival had
been given his trip would have re-
suited in failure as there would
not have been one unlicensed car
on the street.
As il turned out he hired car
at the station and this car was
being operated as a taxi under a
private license. The owner was
the first captured by Mr.. Van
Loon. The others were found lat
CIR.
Discussing the matter the state
agent said that he realized that it
was hard, that the depression had
made II mighty difficult for many
people to get the money to pur-
chase the license. but it is the law
and he must carry it out.
Citing the distribution Of this
money, the major part of which
goes TO the upkeep Of the schools,
Mr.. Van Loon said that lack of
money, mostly due to the small
number of tags purchased in all
parts Of the state. was the cause
of all schools in Hillsborough
county. in which Tampa is located.

All of those to be arrested for

Judge before whom the cases are
tried. There is no minimum penal
