presents for the attention and consideration of the President of these
United States, the following requests:
1. That the United States government consider means of properly
II ' ll equalizing the wage scales as between the Northern and the Southern
textile mills in such a manner that the Northern mills may have a pro-
duction cost per yard (considering the..differences in efficiencies and
labor and machine production rates) equal to that of the Southern mills,
and so can compete with Southern mills in selling their products without
making it necessary to adopt the Southern wage rate, which is not suf-
ficient or adaptable to meet living costs in the North.
2. That the United States government on its large order of 150
million yards which is now being bid upon by the mills of the country,
divide this . large order in such a manner that the Northern mills can bid
on a portion of this order separately from the Southern mills, so that
it will not be necessary for the Northern mills to bid below their cost
of manufacture to obtain consideration.
12
October 10, 1935.
3. That the tariff on Japanese and other foreign textiles be made
sufficiently high to protect the textile mills of the United States in

of the United States and to the Senators and Congressmen who represent
Massachusetts at Washington, D. C. 0

Opinion The following opinion of the City Solicitor was read and placed
895
on file:
Legal Department, December 11, 1935.
Honorable City Council
Salem, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I have been notified by the City Clerk that you have requested
my opinion as to whether the City of Salem could give a franchise for a
limited time such as sixty days to operate motor vehicles for the car-
riage of passengers for hire, and also my opinion as to the "city' s
rights in the granting of franchises ."
Section 4 of Chapter 159a of the General Laws Terc. Ed. provides
that a license granted by a City Council of a city for the operation of
Y"
153
December 12., 1935. 1_
a motor vehicle upon any public way in said city for the carriage of
passengers for hire shall remain in force and effect as to the routes
and for the number of Vehicles specified in such license or operated
thereunder, notwithstanding any limitation therein contained as to the
time it shall remain in effect until revoked as further provided in said
section. The further provision in that section is that the City Council
may, after public notice and hearing for good and sufficient reasons to
be stated in the order of revocation, revoke in whole or in part such a
license, but unless within thirty days after any such order of revoca-
tion the licensee consents thereto in writing, such order shall not be
valid until approved by the Department of Public Utilities after public J
notice and hearing.
It is therefore my opinion that a provision in such a license fix-
ing a limit of time for the operation of such vehicles would be of no
effect.
Very truly yours,
James Kinsella City Solicito

Legal Department, May 28, 1936.
Honorable City Council ,
Salem, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I have been requested by you to render a written opinion as to the
right of the City Council to grant a permit for the construction of a
waiting station on the platform over the Salem Tunnel.
The platform over the Salem Tunnel is a part of the public highway.
The primary purpose of a highway is the passing and re-passing of the
public, which is entitled, so far as needed, to the full unobstructed
and uninterrupted enjoyment of the entire width of the layout for that
purpose. I believe that the erection of such a structure would inter-
fere with the easement of passage which the public has in this part of
the highway.
Therefore it is my opinion that the City Council has no authority
to grant a permit for the construction of a waiting station on the plat-
form over the Salem Tunnel.
Very truly yours,
James Kinsella City °olicitor

627
Legal Department, August 25, 1936 .
The Honorable City Council,
Salem, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I have recently received a communication from the City Clerk stat-
ing that the following order was adopted by your body.
Ordered: That the City Solicitor be requested to render an opinion
as to the interpretation of the clause in the Ordinance recently passed
with reference to hawkers and peddlers, concerning the payment of fees
for temporary stands and the duration of the temporary permits issued
thereunder.
The ordinance to whinh you refer is Section 7 of Chapter 20 of the
ordinances of the City of Salem. The part to which you refer has been
in effect for many years. It provides that no person shall sell from
any temporary stand erected within the City any goods, wares or merchan-
dise unless a special permit has first been bbtained from the Board of
Control, which Board shall have authority to issue such permits under
this section, the fee for such permit being two dollars. The amount of
the fee, of course, is clearly fixed at two dollars. There is, however,
no provision which fixed the duration of the permit and as these are
special permits as stated in the ordinance, it is my opinion that the
Board of Control, under the existing ordinance, may use their discre-
tion in the matter of the time for which the permit is issued.
Very truly yours,
James Kinsella City Solicitor
The following report was accepted and recommendation adopted: redlers
