Re: Collection of truck Licenses:
Councilman Naughton also stated that he would like to question the Chief of Polic
M
to the attitude of the Department in the matter of enforcing the collection of Licenses
r'
as
on Trucks and other commercial cars. Chief of Police "lillestoft, who was present, stated
that local truck operators objected to payment of the license if operators from out of the,
city were not required to pay a license, as being unfair to the local men.
After considerable discussion and the presentation of one or two motions which
were not seconded, an opinion was requested of the City Attorney, who stated that the mat-
�4
'
ter was executive, that is; that it was within the province of the Mayor and the
purely
Chief of Police to enforce the law and that if an operator or operators refused to pay the
said license, an arrest should be made and a test case carried through to ascertain if the
ordinance eras legal or not.
