By HELEN 8. Out of a clear sky rained fusllade of blows upon City Hall last Tuetday afternoon, caludated to upset that pecoeiul place. It waa all doe to the presence of fifty stout-hearted, females who stormed the text of a new city ordinance hardily a year old.Pi operty owners and tax-payen alike gathered there In defense of their righto agalrrt being unjustly taxed, they claimed, by the merchantile license law.

If not available. would Impose heavier taxation upon the property owners. One visitor Insisted that a complete list should be published ir. all the local newspapers containing tbs names of those who meet the obligation promptly, and thsreby exposing the delinquents, as a means of bringing about fair play for alt To this the Mayor replied that all would be lalriy dealt • with and the offender

brought to Justice.

stotently accomplished.

City Treasurer Robert J. Kay. took the stand finally, to shed some light upon the situation whereof the city's fair visitors kept groping In the dark, as each added word only made deeper confusion. He cited bow the meichantlle tax has been a part of tne city laws for a number of years, bow Improvements are paid for by taxation how a big ctty'i business Is taken care of by taxation. and how the hotel business fa the biggest business In Wildwood. showing how the Board of City Commissioners have taken up the mater In the effort to reduce the taxes of the property owners. • There should be no dtocrtmlnstion” continued Mr. Kay. “All linos of business should pay a] merchantile tax. wherever a bual-: neaa U carried on.
