A Brief History of the Recorder's Courts of New Orleans: 1906

1906

CITY OF NEW ORLEANS v. FARGOT.
(April 9, 1906.)
1. The city, under the delegation of power vested in its council, has the authority to regulate peddling on the streets and to compel peddlers and hawkers while peddling and hawking their wares, to keep within due bounds and not to act in a manner that renders their occupation a public nuisance.
2. The ordinance is reasonable and there is nothing about it in restraint of trade as charged. On the contrary, it is a protection to the occupation.
3. The ordinance is legal.
