Licenses - Re: Peddlers A committee from the Chamber of Commerce oomposed of Ken Sullivan, Harry Miller, Erwin Krejci, Joe Wantulok, Wm. Hanshaw, and wm. Stutsman were present to disouss city licenses tor peddlers. The gentlemen were infor.med that the city now collects lioenses from peddlers when it is entitled to do so, but a lio80se which is disor~inatory is not enforceable, and therefore has not been adopted by the city. Persons selling produce grown or raised on their own premises are not subject to a city license. The adoption of a "Green River" Ordinanoe or a Nuisance Ordinance would not prohibit the I soliciting by telephone. They concluded that it was a problem that could not be solved solely by legislation, and all merchants should try to meet their own competition. The Commission stated they would write a letter to the committee. stating the present situation for lioensing peddlers, and that the City Commission is willing to study the ordinance further and will oonsider amendments or recommendations which are aooeptable and enforceable.
