## Opinion text

*228
Main, J.
(dissenting)—While it may appear that the fees to be paid by a dealer in solid fuel are high, it does not seem to me that they are so unreasonably high as to transform the ordinance, which recites on its face that it is a police regulatory measure, into a revenue measure. I think, also, that there is substantial basis for classifying and regulating the sale of solid fuel in a different manner than either liquid or gas fuel.
I therefore dissent.
Blake, C. J., and Geraghty, J., concur with Main, J.
