City theaters face higher license fees under proposed ordinance
Councilman Daulton plans to introduce next Monday night a measure to raise theater licenses from 100 to graduated levels based on size and location. He cites disparities with larger venues and vaudeville houses paying 200 to 250 yearly, and argues small 10 cent houses and even email theaters can afford higher fees. He notes the current law inadequately differentiates venues like Grand Opera House and Ringling Bros. and calls for revenue adjustments amid rising local theater numbers. Also mentions Steamship Olympia bound for Nome with cargo including gasoline and lumber.
