Judge McLean Thursday handed

Dallas Borough to fix the boundary
line between Dallas Borough and Dal-

the exceptions, refuses the appeal and
confirms the report of the commis-

The commissioners decided that the
center of Centre Hill road is the
boundary line between the borough
and township of Dallas, from the
point where the line between the lands
formerly of the Ferguson estate and
the lands of the Machell estate inter-

| Farmers N eed Not
Pay City License,
Agent Declares
Farmers cannot be compelled to pay
a license fee to a municipality for the
right to sell their own produce, Jas.
D. Hutchison, agent of Luzerne Co.
Agricultural Extension Association
declared yesterday. The statement
of the county agricultural agent is
prompted by the fact.that several
municipalities have made the attempt
to prevent the sale of produce, unless
the' farmer had a license.
Act 258, Pennsylvania, is quoted by
County Agent Hutchison as follows:
“It shall be unlawful for any borough
or city of this Commonwealth to levy
or collect any money or tax as a li-
cense fee, from any farmer, who sells
his own products in or about the dif-
ferent streets of any borough or city
of this Commonwealth.”
In a number of instances, Mr.
Hutchinson says, farmers were Te-
quested to obtain a local peddler’s li-
cense or be prohibited from dispens«
ing their products within the corpor-
ate boundaries of the municipality. If
a farmer collects products from his
neighbor and then disposes of them
by peddling from house to house, he
is recognized legally as a peddler or
huckster and must obtain a license,
but if he is selling his own products
that is not necessary. :
