Coniferous Trees and City Ordinance

Street vendors: But once a year, there an exception, laid out in an artfully worded city ordinance: During the month of December, anyone may sell "coniferous trees" just about anywhere — no licence required, according to Hamilton Spectator. It a rare tree-for-all. Street vendors sometimes spend a fortune or languish for years on waiting lists to acquire one of the permits that allow them to sell goods in tightly regulated locations. Pedlars flock in from across North America. Stands selling coniferous trees sprout everywhere. Big trucks carrying huge loads of trees arrive in the dead of night. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
