Council Lengthily Considers
Ordinance Offered By Cooke
This Proposed Law, Sponsored By Merchants Association,
Would Require $1,000 License of Persons, Firms or Cor
porations Dealing In Second Hand Apparel City Attorney
Will Decide Whether Constitutional Or Not

A lengthy discussion of the statu3 .
of second-hand dealers, so-called, op-
crating in this city, took up most of j of the building in which they are lo

It was then that Mr. Cooke pre- between Culpepper and Dyer, and on
sented the ordinance from the Mer-
chants Association, urging that the
AA tinnnnnif anna ho tlYPn fir. t
$500. The speaker explaired that
the law was not Intended to affect in-
dividuals who might sell their own
clothes, persons who went from house
to house, disposing of second hand
clothing for others, or charity ba
zaars and the like. Mr. Cooke stat
ed that the ordinance was advocated
by the Merchants' Association for
two reasons, the first being that these
dealers engaged in unfair competi
tion, and the second! -that second
hand c'othing has no real, basic
value. He declared that he was
greatly concerned over the possibility
that dangerous gernuj might be trans
mitted ln the worn clothing.
Second Hand vs. Reclaimed
A representative of the "U. S.
Army and Navy Store" then rose to
nA Mr side of the case. He de-
clared that the goods his company
handling are not "second hand, but
. . . . i
are "reclaimed.
O. F. Gilbert, a prominent local
merchant, took exception to tne term
"reclaimed." He declared that he
had it on good authority the "re
claimed" army gooas were sucu bup-
plies as had been issued to Quarter-
masters and later taken back before
they had been used.
Walter L. Small next addressed the
...... ri - i
Council ln behalf of Moses Glasser, a ,
merchant who recently es aunsneu
himself on Water street, in this ctty.!
Mr. Small, speaking for his client, (
declared that he wished two points,
considered by the Council before ac-!
tion was taken on the proposed ordi-J
nance. The first, he said, was
whether it was wise to drive out com
petlt'on; and the second, whether the
Cornell should . depj-lve the poorer
cla.-'-es of the cheaper merchandise
offered by these so-called second hand
merchants. As to the sanitary ques
tion. Ir. Small maintained that Glas
ser had a right to sell his merchan
dise until the City Health Officer
should condemn It.
Then, referring more directly to
the proposed ordinance Itself, Mr.
Small stated that, according to the
records, Mr. Cooke himself voted for
the North Carolina Revenue Act of
'1921, which, he said, imposed a State
license of forty dollars on second
hand dealers. The only real rea
son. Mr. Small intimated, that the
merchpnts were fighting the second
hand dealers, was that they wished to
drive them out as competitor.. Moses
Glasser, ho stated, had property in
Norfolk County valued at $ir,2.000,
and he urged that Glasser, substan
tial citizen that he is, expects to
make Elizabeth City h!x home, if ho
is allowed to do harness here.
Small .".ml ?lcC;tl)i (lush
In his remark Mr. Small made a
statement or allusion that J. T. Mc
f'nbr1, annlli'T tinn ding local merchant,
tok to mrin an ncctratlin that
the Merchants' As-,oc!ation of this
city is a "closed corporation," in the
sense thr.t It is strivlnp; to Vc out
active business ronipet'tion. Mr.
MeCnlm hotly: denied the supposed
Implication, and Mr. Small har(pn?d
to explain that he meant that the
Association's sponsorship of the ordi
nance in question seemed to Indicate
that the organization is a "closed cor
poration." While he was still before
tin Council. Mr. McCabc said that the

turne(1 over to the City Manager
... i
with power to act. Another petition,
asking that Lane avenue be extended
to Peartree Road, was dealt with in
! similar fashion.
Then the City Council turned to
the question of cows. How many
cows might a man possess, and yet
remain a good citizen? Councilman
Williams began the discussion with
the statement that the existing ordi
nance permitting each citizen to have
two cows Is unfair, Inasmuch as one
man's lot may be many times as
large as another's. Mr. Williams
suggested that the existing ordinance
be repealed or modified so that the
size of the property owner's pasture
might become the determining factor
in the number of cows the law per
mits him to keep.
Dr. Zenas Fearing, City Health Of
ficer, here interposed the statement
jthat th(j number of CQWg ,g a matter

cow ordinance was finally referred
to the City Health Officer and the
City Attorney for suggested amend
ment, and the Council passed on to i
an unhurried consideration of other i
business.
A request by Edward Sawyer, of!
this city, that Ernest Owens, an in

he acts as guardian, be relieved of

was a similar request for Horace

Bearing in mind the splendid p'c-

Merchants' Association banquet, to
be given about the middle of Janu-
