Editor Laniaree Wants to Know — SO DO WE In his editor’s column Editor Charles Lamaree in his paper, the Silver Lake Record, timely writes: •‘Silver Lake is over run lately by peddlers — fruit peddlers, celery salesmen etc. We were once told that there was a town ordinance requiring a license for peddlers of this type. Do these peddlers all pay this license fee? If there is no such ordinance, why should these fel lows roam around knocking on everyone’s door, no overhead but their travelling expenses, leaving’ no money here. Do they help pay for new school buildings, water works, fairs for the community, donations to the churches and cheritabie bauees? Are they here tomorrow to make good on a guarantee if their wares are bad? Why not an ordinance to be enforced? They would not be barred, but would only be helping to bear some of the same expenses a regular merchant has.’ Such an ordinance in Syracuse would help some, too.
