CITY'S REVENUE
CODE UNCHANGED

With the exception of few
minor charges, the revenue o-di-
aances of the City of Wilmington
will remain the same in the COM
ing fiscal year they were in the
current fiscal year, was the de-
cision of the City council yester.
day.
The council voted unanimously
to accept the recommendations OF
a special committee which has
been concerned with the study OF
the revenue ordinances.
License fees for retail and
wholesale meat dealers in the
observation-disclosures brackets were
increased. For operators of con-
Germs doing $4,000 to $4,000 in
business annually, the fee will be
$75; over $4,000, it will be $780,.
The most interesting change no.
ed was that in the fee for wres-
Ting and boxing matches. The
State Attorney General has ruled
that the city's 500 fee per match
was excessive, under the law, on
the grounds that wrestling and
boxing matches are athletic
events. Thus, the fee was reduced

elicit favorable reaction from To-
cal promoters.
