The Segerstrom Piano Mfg. Co. is making a
strong fight against the local ordinance requiring
the payment of a license fee of $25 per diem by
transient merchants, claiming that it is unconstitu-
tional. The city filed suit against the piano com-
pany for $2,400 for license fees from September
15 to January 5, and an attachment was levied
upon the stock of pianos and other goods. The
defendants gave a bond to cover the attachment
and filed a demurrer to the complaint, which has
not yet come up for argument. It is planned to
make a test case of the Segerstrom suit, so as to
establish a precedent.
