}ir. It. G. ~harton, a, ho operates a Credit Bureau in this City, ~
asked the Co,mcil to consider the red,~ction of license fee of ~25.00
set up in the License Ordinance for th:is business, lie claimed that
his business was not operating at a profit at this time, and that ~"
incomes From certain other businesses were m~lch ~reater and were
being charged only ~ 10.00 or ~ 15.00. lie stated that he had started
the Credit Burea~ at the request o~ several merchants, and felt it
would be an asset to the Town, although For the ~irst five years it
will not be self-supporting.
It was th.e consensus of opinion of the Council that a precident
oC lowering license fees should not be established, but they agreed
to go over the entire License Ordinance at an early date, .and make
adjustments where considered out oC line.
The CitY }ianager advised the Council of an agre(ment made on
}larch 22nd to pave the street right-of-way up to the new curb lines
on the north and west si. des of building being constr~cted on the
southeast corner of East Atlantic ,~venue and 5th Avenue~ although
a pOlic~,v had since been established that the property owner must
a~sume t~is repaying where the Street has been widened by a new
set-back. The Council instructed the City }ianager to carry out their
agreement in this case, but .to follo~ tl~e new policy hereafter.
The meeting then adjourned. ".~
