WE CANNOT RECO:IMEND THAT THIS CHANGE BE MADE, FOR 1T 1S OUR OPINION THAT THE TWO CLASSES OF BUSINESS ARE NOT COMPARABLE, AND THE RATE FOR RESTAURANT OWNERS AND OPERATORS SHOULD STAND AS IT IS NOW LEVIED. IT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE WISH OF THE COUNCIL TO IMPOSE AN UNJUST TAX, BUT THE SERVICE IN HANDLING THE BUSINESS OF RESTAURANTS AND TAVERNS IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THE RETAIL MERCHANTS. FIRST, WE HAVE TO HAVE FACILITIES IN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT FOR EXAMINING ALL THE HELP WHO SERVE FOOD. WE PAY OUR PROPORTION OF THE SALARY OF AN OFFICER, PRACTICALLY WHOSE ENTIRE TIME IS TAKEN UP IN INSPECTING THESE PLACES. FURTHER, IT CANNOT BE DENIED THAT OUR ATTRACTIVE RESTAURANTS AND TAVERNS ARE SOMEWHAT OF PLACES FOR SOCIAL GATHERINGS, AND OPERATE LONG HOURS. NATURALLY THESE ESTABLISH- MENTS ARE OPEN AT NIGHT, WHICH REQUIRES AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF POLICE PROTECTION, AND THIS UNDOUBTEDLY MEANS AN ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE CITY. FRED L.
