"Persons in these classes 6f business
are showing little disposition to pay
their license fees,” said Mr. Armstrong,
"and it has been arranged with the po
lice department to begin a drive that
will make them come to law.”

been instructed to devote their full
time to this campaign until the licenses
are collected or the delinquents placed
under arrest.
Aside from licenses of this character,
the daily collections at the comptrol
ler’s office are better than during the
corresponding period a year ago, the
comptroller said.
