Business men who are delinquent
in their monthly license tax pay
ments to the city will have an op-
portunity to air their troubles at
the city hall on the night of Mon

They are to give reasons why
they can't pay, or feel they are not

men clashed over forcing immedi-
ate payment of, the tax. Total de-

cember 81, 1888 is $1365.O0.
A couple of weeks ago the coun-
Gil instructed City Attorney N.

against persons who are delinquent.
Mayor Hudgin expressed dis
pleasure with the original method
of collecting with the statement II
believe we should be more mod
crate. 1t is not the time for drastic
action"
Hudgin, who had refused to or.
der the arrest of persons back in
their license tax payments, was ac-
cused by Alderman Paul Arend of
exceeding your authority" by not
Immediately taking action on the
councils action.
"You have taken dictatorial at
titude," Arend told the mayor, land
have not followed the instructions
of the council"
Following a discussion the alder
men agreed to hear the cases at
the meeting on the 21st.
The council Monday night voted
to join the Santa Cruz County

ticn asking the U. S. Boundary
Commission to extend the flood
drainage channel of the city 1900
