THE LICENSE ORDINANCE. A Meeting Of Citizens To Discuss The Mat ter This Afternoon-A Mistaken Impression. The license ordinance passed by city council at its last meeting has been the general subject :of conver sation on the streets since its publi cation. Some are opposed to:the system and there are others who, while they favor a license system, think that the scale of prices adopt ed by council is not equitable. A petition has been circulated and very generally signed by the busi ness men calling a meeting to be held in the opera house this after noon at 4 o'clock to discuss the matter and, if deemed advisable, to take action requesting couicil to amend the ordinance. 'I'here are very many in Newher rN who thiink th1at Ne%wIerrv should have ; license sytemu (of some kind. Iowever, tihe whole matter vill be Fulland freely discussed at the -ne_tin)g this afternoon Tiere were a wimber of farmers II Ile city yestelday who were hos tile to the ordinance oi tile ground that it interfered with the sale of the produce of their farms and that 1hey could not even bring a horse to town and swap him for another without paying a license. This is entirely an erroneous impression. Tie license ordiinance has nothing whatever to do with the sale of home produc( and does not, interfere with a man swapping his horse. provided hv (lots not do so or. the streets.
