license and the city should not vary from that. 2) Attorney Winmill said Mr.
Scheffler provided him with some restitation of authority, which involved several
cases challenging the business license requirement. Attorney Winmill told
Mr. Scheffler the purpose of the ordinance is for a regulatory purpose, not to

is required to obtain a business license~by approval of the Cits Cou~cil~
