11 The report of the chairntan ot
Ihe market committee oi Council
tn the petition of certain parties to
prevent the Male of pi tick s on the
j reet by what id known as street
hawkers, thereby giving the peti-
I I oners a monopoly in the in tter,
fi being severe)) commented on by
)Ue public.
The report reGonunends that an
Ordinance be passed rvqmmig all
tyrsons selling through tlie. streets
13 have badges. That badges be
trnisbed all persons renting s ails
\j the market by the y**ar; to all
reeu gri»c> r--. to all fishermen and
Parties raising produce who sell
pueit own, piodtictioi s. I'l.at said
’ ersons above numerated shall be
‘lone permitted to sell in the
treet-, and that no person other
han those who rent stalls in the.
n.rket, and green grocers, be per
pitted to sell on the streets of the
dtv, except fisbeimon who are
eflit g fish of their own catching, |
m ics selling produce of their
4wu raiding, an i that H penalty be
|resu*ib< d tor any violation oi this
li«-dinaiic»*.
[ The proposed legislation is un
nat nt'd unwise. Unjust because
jj will take awav the means of
baking » scauty living ir<>ui bun
rede of our very p<»<nest <;b.sH«-s —
uwise bi C’iiise it will hart a s and
buoy a lirge majority of «.ur citi- [
f etis who will be compelled to Send
’> tlie mark t for rhe iicvess ries
I life besides me iLt cusi
of same. Hundreds of fa nilies are
in a gieat measure dependent upon
♦he enterprising street hawkets for
obtaining vegetables, fish, fruit
<fec , at their doors at teasonable
prices. Bass the ordinance, and
besides the inconvenient, of get
ting these needs of every day,
prices will go up to tin benefit of
the small monopolists while about
three families out of five will be
compelled to employ help at home
which they can illy afford to do or
suffer f< r want of necessaries which
are now brought to their doors.
To say that we are surpris d at
the action of the committee, is
stating tfie matter mildly, They
should it seems to our mind seek
to legislate in such a manner as will
secure the greatest good to the
greatest number of people. The
effect of their report will be the
1 everse, and it is to be hoped that
the city council will see the neces
sity of B'ranglmg the pernicious
ordinance when it comes up to be
acted upon.

NEWSPAPERS AV 1887.
Ge< . I’. Rowell & Co., will issue on
Monday, May 2, the Nineteenth Annu
al edition ot their standard publication
the ••American Newspaper Directory.”
The new volume co lUiua an exhaus
tive li-t of all Class Publications so ad
mirably arranged that any one of the
three thousand papers represented there
can be readily reieired to and all im
portant tacts concerning it, together
with its circulation ruling easily obtain
ed. ,
The Newspaper Directory will be used
principally by Publishers, Advertisers,
and Advertising Agents, but the va-t
fund of information it contains makes it
valuable to persons of almost every
trade and profession. As a Gazetteer
alone it is wHI worth the price charged,
S 3, for it fully describes every town in
which a new-paper is issued, and few
people care to know about any place
where oue is not,
The number of papers published in
the Uli ed 8 ate?, Terr.tories finc.ud-
iog Alaska] and Canada is put at,
15,420; an increase ol 58f iu one year.
Th* growth of new.-papers in some of j
the Western States would be a mattiri
of wonder, if it were not that this year
is uoeXC ption to the ru'e. In Kansas j
the increase is 89 and in Nebraska 64;
while the Keystone State shows a j
smaller advance of 35 and the Buckeye.;
State of 30. Pennsylvania exhibits the
largest increase in dailies, 17; Kansas
in weeklies, 81, and New Yoik in
monthlies, 42. Seven States show a
decreise; the most prominent instances
being New Hampshire andVfrginia, s.x
each, The whole volume shows that
care has been taken to sustain its repu
tation as the nr st comprehensive work
of the kind yet published, and to in-ure
security in every detail. Anything
less than a complete compendium i f
Am- rican newspapers and periodica s
would surprise tho-e who are familiar
with the former eff rtsof this firm, who
are so web known as the oldest, largest
and best known of all the American
Advertising Agencies.
