The Mayor asked why these should be
stricken from the calendar without re-
port. fs6
Mr.. Pierce said that No. II was very
difficult problem to solve, and any report on
the subject would inevitably cause much
discussion. At future day he might prob
ably recommend some action on the matter.
No. 6 he thought would be definitely
settled by the ordinance for the regulations
Of music in coffeeKouscs, within q few
months, inasmuch as after the first of JAN
uary the consent of majority Of the neigh
bors would be required.
Mr.. Bonzano said seventy-one was Pc
tition, and las the Administrator of Ac-
counts had recently instructed him) the
right of petition ought never to be infringed.
He moved that the Administrators of Police
be not relieved from consideration of tho
matter.
The Mayor said this was a great question,
and it ought to be grappled with at once.
Houses of prostitution were spreading all
over the city, and the best properly was be-
coming worthless from this cause. The pc
titioners were very respectable citizens, and
if there was any nuisance which ought to
be abated, it was this.
Mr.. Pierce said he would like the advice
and experience of older members of the
Council on this subject, and he moved that
the Mayor be associated with him on the
committee. He himself would be willing to
report anything the Mayor advised
The Mayor remarked that these lewd and
abandoned women were quite anxious to
know their exact position, as they were just
about entering upon their new leases, etc.
He thought the Council might be able pretty
soon to give them some information on the
subject. He was quite willing to serve on
the committee.
The question was accordingly referred to
the Mayor and Administrator of Police.
A report from the Assistant City Attor-
ney, on the subject of the Hernandez
licenses, was received and ordered to be
spread upon the minutes la
