Rawlings this morning notified members of the street detail to be especially watchful in this respect, | hold up all of whom proper licens- ing is demanded and scrutinize their credentials to ascertain if they are Properly issued and otherwise valid. Reports have come to his attention that there are some who are doing business without the formality of se- curing a license, are attempting to “get by” on permission granted for & year ago or use one type of permis- sion for transacting business of an- other kind. Directing the crusade to be prose- cuted speedily followed the adjourn- ment of police court session, at which Max Kopelowitz of 110 Dwight street ‘Wwas fined $10 and costs by Judge James T. Meskill for doing a junk business without having secured the Proper license. He was stopped on Church street yesterday while collect- ing waste paper and other junk, asked to show the necessary permission and tried to evade the issue. A license as a produce vender, costing $2 and is- sued by Chief Rawlings, was shown. Being told that this was not good for the business he was engaged in, he said that his other license must be at home. are issued by Detective Sergeant Bam- forth and cost $10 each. So as to be sure there was no mistake, Sergeant Bamforth allowed him to go, after taking his name and address, while he went to headquarters to consult the records. No record of the ac- cused having received the neccessary permission was found and a summons into court -quickly followed. Much ‘indignation was expressed after the imposing of the fine and Ne loudly demanded an attorney and as loudly announced his intention of taking an appeal. Later, after medi- tating for a time, he decided to pay and did so. \ Find Sympathy in the Dictionary. With the advent of spring, the end- less round of the lame, the halt and the blind wending their way to head- quarters to secure permission to so- licit alms and peddle on the streets has begun. The advance guard has been greatly discouraged, Chief Rawlings having put his foot down in the determination to keep the city streets clear of this type of undesir- ables. Several applicants applied at headquarters this morning, only to be informed of the next ruling, that New Britain is no paradise for ‘“‘sym- pathy workers” and that the ban ap- | plies to all. It is expected that re- port of the edict will soon travel among the fraternity with a result that local streets will be free on “pencil sellers,” ‘“‘shoe string vendors" and other “merchants” of like ilk the coming season. o .
