Try for Police Raise
The motion granting DR.. Norris
request touched off an attempt by
Councilman Louis A. Gravelle to
tack a rider on the move to take
another $4,000 out of the emer-
gency fund to provide pay raise
for the police department.
Gravelle and Council President
George F. Nesbitt clashed sharply
over the rider. Nesbitt ruled it
out of order stating that the coun-
Gil could not consider new pay
scale unless it was adopted by the
personnel board.
He was upheld by council MEM
bers on an appeal from the ruling,
and later threatened to hire his

Solicitor
Ordinance
Revised
Again

Statesmen for farm equipment
and agricultural supplies will
probably be exempt from a pro-
posed ordinance to license and
regulate door to door solicitors in
the County if it is adopted by the
County Council.
For the second time Tuesday,
the Council returned a draft of
the proposed ordinance back to the
County Attorneys office for revi-
sions.
Among the changes was a pro-
vision which would exempt farm
supply statesmen from being licen-
sed. 1t would not, however, ex-
empt any salesman just because
he operates in rural area.
Councilman Lathrop Smith, who
suggested the exemption, made it
clear that salesman for roofing,
or septic tank compaies would
come under the provisions of the
ordinance, just as would magazine
or specially" item statesmen.
Eliminate Fingerprinting
Another provision which the
Council favored eliminating was
one requiring all applicants to
submit to fingerprinting-a re-
quirement which drew heavy fire
at a public hearing on the proposal
recently, especially from women So
licitors.
Councilman agreed that it was
probably not necessary to have APP
plicants fngerprinted since by the
time they were checked by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
any "fly-by-night" operators
would have Cleaned out" the
County and moved on.
Several councilmen also suggest
ed that after the ordinance is adj
opted, a reciprocal agreement be
worked out with the District and
any other jurisdiction with an
acceptable" solicitor ordinance.
