Mayor Favors No License Fee for Farm Goods Trade
In a morning interview Mayor Rector urged free trade for food articles amid a proposed license fee ordinance for transient merchants and fruit sellers. He argued a $5 car charge for farm products would deter farmers from shipping potatoes and other produce to Waterloo, raising prices for residents and promoting monopoly. He cited a farmer within thirty miles who earned about $300 last year by city trade and left $100 with local merchants, warning a license would drive him away.

City license rule under fire from mayor over carload potatoes
Mayor Rector challenges an ordinance that exempts producers from paying a license except as set in a prior section. The prior section fixes licenses on carload lots, making farmers transporting a car of potatoes into the city and selling them pay 3 percent, which he calls unfair and discriminatory.
