Peddler Licensing Ordinance Approved by City Council
The city council approved a peddler licensing ordinance 6 to 2 after a public hearing. Transient merchants must obtain a $5 license with application to the city clerk and approval by the police chief. Violations carry a fine up to $100 and a 20 day jail term. Opponents argued unconstitutionality and discrimination, while supporters said it curbs magazine salesmen and protects residents from fly by night operators.
