It has been held in other cities that in the case of a homestead the signature of the wife is required to a peti tion the same the husband's. Engineer Beal has ascertained that a homestead Is included in a portion of the property abut ting on O street and the papers in the ca The the the as will be sent back for the wife's signature Of course this will make considerable d lay in the work, but it is hoped that the matter of signatures to the petition may be straightenad out at an early date in order that the paving may be laid this fall S0 many sults against the city have been caused by defective petitions that hereafter such documents will be thoroughly scrutinized before ordinances are drafted In this connection Mayor Kelly said last evening that thousands of dollars of spe- taxes had been saddled on the city at large through negligence in properly se curing signatures to petitions. He pro- Poses 10 put a stop to such practices. After consulting with the city attorney the mayor stated that he thought it wduld be a good idea to have all signatures to grading or paving petitions acknowledged before some authorized officer. If this is done the sign- ers cannot go back on the signature and neither can the bhusband sign the wife's name, as had been frequently dome in the pust. By taking these precautions Mayor Kelly expects to prevent the throwing out of special taxes, thus greatly lessening the burden of the taxpayers at large. That kater Omlinance, ordinance which was introduced at Monday night's session of the council regu lating hucketering and peddling will be carefully investigated by the judiclary com- mittee It is understood th the new ordi- nance was drawn at the instance of the recently organized Business Men's associa tion, the intention being to promote home industry by compelling hucksters to pay a high license Under the provisions of this ordinance a two-horse huckster wagon with one man in charge must pay a license fee of $100 a year $60 for aslx months, or $ a day Wagons and carts with one horse and one person in charge § A year, $50 for six months, or $4 a day. Should this ordinance become a law and be enforced it would make a radical change in the handling of huck- The eters and by decreasing the number of strect peddlers increase the business of local merchante. In speaking of this ordinance yesterday one of the city oficiale sald that the ordi nance was absolutely worthless and it was doubtful if it ever left the hands of the Judiclary committee. However, should the ordinance be passed by the council it is mote than likely that the mayor will veto it In support of thie contemplated action the officlal submitting to an interview said that it was through no disrespect for the Busi- nees Men's assoclation, but a plain state ment of law which would cause the throw Ing out of the ordinance. It has been de- cided by the courts, this officlal asserted, that when a license fee is in excess of the cost of regulating the occupation it is ille- gal. At the present time licenses for hucksters are charged for at the rate of 25 a year and thie is considered reasona- ble, as It Just about pays the salary of the inspectors and the expense of maintaining this department of the city government It is inferred that the council favors doing all it can for the business men here, but there I8 10 use, the members say, of going to the expense of passing an ordinance which {s plainly fllegal ying Clnims Against the City, Fewer claims against the city are on file today than for a number of years past Monday night the council allowed bills and claims amounting to about $25,000, leaving only about $500 of unpaid bills. In some Instances these bills yet on file have not been acted upon by the finance committee, as an investigation is desired. One bill is for 323 dogs killed by the poundmaster during July, which amounts (o § Coun- | cllman Miller said that at the ra the poundmaster was disposing of canines the job was better than having a paying claim in Klondike. This bill will be thoroughly investigated before it is allowed. The city also paid the rent of the city hall building for nine months, aggregating $1,305. It is understood, however, that this warrant will not be signed by the mayor until suitable repairs are made to the interior of the build- ing.
