as much nudity as could be seen q
the Academy of Music on the represen
tation of the Black Crook. Some of thes
saloon keepers had expressed their willing
| ness to pay regular theatrical license O
three hundred dollars. and they argued
with some plausibIlity, that whether tn
theatre was large or small made no differ
ence, if the proprietor was ready to pay tn
license. This could be easily regulated b.
the Administrator of Police.
Administrator Shaw said this entire raid
was based upon article 26l of Leovy's Diges
(articie 236 Of edition of 1870, which read
as follows:
Except in cases where permission i!
granted by the Mayor, il shall be the duty
If the Chief OF Police to arrest all persons
who shall be found playing, or causing to bt
played, music in auy bar room, cotfeehous(
or other place where liquors are sold; who
upon conviction, shall be liable TO fine o.
not more than fifty dollars for each ano
every offense, and the coffeehouse keeper
shall be liable to the same penalty.
He moved the following resolution:
Resolved, That the operation of article
2el OF LeoVy's Digest. being section four
teen of an ordinance relative TO coffee
houses, carbarets. bar-rooms, etc, tartlcle
236 Of edition OF lS70), be suspended until
the further action OF the Council.
Administrator West seconded the motion,
which was carried.
On motion Of Mr. West, the petition read
was referred 20 the Administrator Of Police
for examination and report.
A memorial Of Dr.. ). J. Hays, proprietor
of Gutenberg Smallpox Hospital, was read
