Petition from J. H. Hunt, presi

stating in part to-wit: “Petitioner
shows that the Standard Ice Co.,
and perhaps other companies have
sought and will continue to seek
to destroy petitioner’s plant and
render the same valueless by sell
ing ice below the cost of produc
tion, until it can force your peti
tioner to sell out to said Standard
Ice Co., and then will put up the
price of ice and force the citizens
of Gainesville to buy the same at
a largely increased and extortion
ate price;
“Wherefore, petitioner prays
that an ordinance be passed plac
ing a tax on all foreign ice com
panies selling ice inside the cor
porate limits; said ordinance to
remain in force so long as your
petitioner continues to sell ice at
the low price of one-half cent per
pound retail, and thirty-five cents
per hundred pounds wholesale,”
was read and on motion granted.
The clerk was, on motion, in
structed'to furnish the city asses
sors’ with a copy of the field-book
used by the assessors for 1899,
leaving off the value of the prop
erty thereon, so that the present

real estate for the present year
without reference to any values
placed on same in the past.
A motion prevailed authorizing
