Mr; H, Brown addressed the council
asking why he was not granted a
pedlar's license, or if anything had
been done in regard to his application
for one. Several of the councillors ex-
pressed themselves as being in sym-
pathy With Mr. Brown and thought
that being as he had been a good citi-
zen of town for some time he should
at least get a square deal.
Mr. Hilliard of Harriston addressed
the council stating that he wished to
open up a bazaar in town but that the
$2i0 Transient Traders License looked
too large for him,' He had made ar-
rangements to lease the store occupied
by the Town Electric Supply Co, in
the Gregory block•for a term of two
years. • The town treasurer pro-
duced a letter which he had received
from Mr. Geo. McKenzie in which was
enclosed $50 in payment of the Tran -
dent, Traders License, for the man
whom he claims rented his store, ( the
one formerly occupied by Miss Carson)
some time ago and paid a month's
rent. •The councillors all expressed
themselves on the matter and all
strongly opposed letting in a man to
sell a bankrupt stock at lees than the
$250 fee but were favorable to and en-
cpuraged Mr, Hilliard or anyone else
starting up a new business. Reeve
Mitchell suggested a rate of $25 for
groom, $50 dollars for other lines of
business, but by all means $250 for a
bankrupt stock, Councillors T'lpliug,
'ablator and Guruey said the men who
paid taxes year after year should be
protected from men who wished to
clear off bankrupt trash and then, get
out without staying long enough to
pay a business tax,
Mr. Patterson said $250 was none
too much to make a man pay to sell
bankrupt goods but be wondered if
two licenses could not be fixed, the
one to apply to a person selling bank-
rupt goods and the other to apply to a
man with good goods. Councillor
Binkley said he saw no way but to
keep changing the by-law to suit and
be was Willing to meet every night in
order to accomplish that end, The
Mayor said he had interviewed their
solicitor and found it impossible to
have more than one Transient Traders
License in force in town at once. The
