The Validity of the Transient Traders’ Ordinance to be tried in Circuit Court
-
Cavanaugh & Wedemeyer have filed a motion in the circuit court that Andrew S. Clark, the agent of Callaghan & Co., who was arrested under the transient traders ordinance which was passed last December, be discharged. The grounds stated are that his arrest was illogical and that the ordinance is void. The reasons given by the attorneys as to why they believe the ordinance void are that the license is excessive and unreasonable, that it discriminates between residents and other persons in that it requires a license only in cases where the goods are brought into the city, that the license fee is extortionate and excessive.
