on motion of mr cohn the council 4 adjourned ate u m ed until friday april loth when u a s special al session will be held to further d discuss escuss the report of the license heense committee the special session of the city council held april 10 was another demonstration atra tian of the utter competency incompetency im lack of principle and desperation of the gang who manipulate the municipal pal machinery mayor scott presided the following members were in attendance ton dance spafford karrick karrich pembroke heath pendleton armstrong hall nalla lynn anderson james parsons and cohn on motion of mr cohn the report of the finance committee with gupple report from treasurer walden was read and the 11 conse schedule taken up mr karrick 1 I move that debate be limited to three minutes to each epa sp aber keron on the items discussed carried mr hall I 1 move to abolish the license of 18 12 per annum on assayers ass ayere I 1 am unable to we see where there la Is any jufe tice in imposing a special tax on that class of individuals simply because they have a small forge and a few tools when the blacksmith with a large forge and many tools is not required to pay an additional tax am if one is licensed then the other should be also the same argument will hold good with reference to barbers barbars dentists and a host of similar pursuits that are untaxed mr james perhaps I 1 pay out as much or move more money in a year for assaying than any ether man in the country and am thoroughly familiar on that subject I 1 think tle the license should remain as a guarantee of ability mr hall it does not require a great deal of ability or capital to become an assay essayist or to pay the 12 license mr lynn that is true but if a man is irresponsible his license could be revoked and that would be a brand of disqualification in my opinion the license is a protection and should be retained the motion to strike out was blosl loet when the building loan n and din count association license of 50 a year was reached mahall said I 1 think that tax is tand drives eastern capital away from the territory I 1 therefore move to strike it out mr lynn in rebuttal of that I 1 will say such associations extract enormous rates of interest from those of our people m le who are compelled compell ed to borrow money fr from om theta them only yesterday a case came to my knowledge where local parties are paying 24 2 per cent on a large loan obtained through one of these associations I 1 think the tax should be increased rather than abolished the motion to abolish the license was lost ur mr hall 1 I move to strike au out t the license of a year on bankers and brokers having a capital stock of and upwards lost mr lynn lynia I 1 move to strike out the license of 6 a bearon year OB boarding hou houses ses accommodating from three to five persons carried mr cohn I 1 move to strike out the license of 2 per day on fine aits lost mr Pern pembroke broke 1 I move to strike out the license of 50 a year on hotel runners mr lynn I 1 am opposed to that proposition if there to is one class of nieu who presume to ply their trade under a licensed |
