12 Municipal Affairs PETITION SUFFICIENT TO CALL AN ELECTION City Council Must Decide on Fi nancial Measure Next Tuesday Contending emotions are likely to| tear the council next Tuesday. The Bnance committee will have an espe cially bad day, for the city clerk will report the referendum petition against the new license ordinance as sufficient, (md that the council must submit the ordinance to a vote of the people either at a special election or the next general election, which will be about two years hence, On the one hand. If the council sub mits the ordinance at a special election called for that purpose* alone it will cost about $12,000, and there is a bare possibility that the public service cor porations—which are hit hardest by the license—will got out and work so hard that it will be. defeated, leaving- the old license ordinance in effect and the city 112,000 worse off. On the other hand, if It waits two years, which is what the corporations hope will happen, the city will lose the additional revenue the ordinance provides. STAXD TO WIN In either event the public service cor porations and two or three of the larg est banks are the only ones who profit. Many teamsters and others who sigiiiil the referendum petition on the assur ance they would not have to pay any license tax If they did, will find then license tax Just as high now as before, for the new ordinance repealed the old one. and as long as the new ordinance cannot go into effect, the old one is operative. The only changes in the new ordi nance are" that those banks doing the largest amount of business are forced to pay a higher license, and the public service corporations pay a much higher license. Two or three kinds of business on which the license ordinance worked a hardship, especially the private water companies that supply outlying tracts, were cut out of the new ordinance, but as long as the old one is in operation they must continue to pay their li censes. _ HELP!

Mrs Wilds has undertaken the work of looking out for as many homeless lit tle ones as she can. She has support ed the home by securing contributions from regular patrons, but since the quarantine was established a week ago Bhe has not been able to pot out and gather In the sheekels. Consequently the Mother Hubbnrd nursery rhyme that the kiddies liked to hear in more prosperous times is becoming too near llzatlon and their little tummies are nearly empty. This sad condition of affairs was re ported to the health department yes terday by the quarantine officer, George Miles, but the health department does not know what to do about it.

Thi y are too numerous to send to the de tention hospital' and the city has no fund? to food the unfortunates.
