The Merchants Retail Association
with a number of other Interested ptr
soos met at the Court House as per call
the meeting being largely attended al
though weather was very Inclement.
President John Dunn stated tbe ob
ject of the meeting. His attention was
callid to license Increase as per crdi
nance recently issued by the city
Thought license Incieaae unjual, EW
flmallwood eaked by what authority the
increased levy was made Chairman
stated that levy was made in May. The
increase was made upon dealers In
goods, wares and merchandise. K B
Hackburn thought If Ui must be paid
hat tax ought to be proportionate npon
property holders, not npon the mer
chants, only. S. J. Hudson moved com
mlttee of thye be sppolnted to act on
tbe matter.
The following resolutions were offered
and adopted by the Association :
Wherefore, We, the merchants of New
Bern, learning of tbe proposed change
In the License Tax against dealers In
goods, wares and merchandise of 100 per
cent over the present tax, and further
learning that this change does not spply
to any other dealers or any other butt
nsss liable for license lax, and feeling
that this Is a very great hardship and
Injustice to this rissi of merchants,
therefore,
Be it reolved, That we petition lbs
Board of Cltv Aldermen 10 10 amend
this ordinance that tbe burden will tall
npon all alike, for as It now reads. It it
very nejuit to this particular data ot
mercbaata.
Further resolved, That In Ilia event
of no action is taken by tbe Uiard ct
Aldermen for Onr relief that we take a
nailed stand and flatly refuse to pay tbe
doable tax.
