castings 10 Sweeney & Co, Of this city,
adopted BY the Second Branch, was taken

An ordinance assessing taxes on IL
censes for keepers Of Ordinaries, coffee
houses, and retail liquor dealers Tor the
year from the first Monday Of May, passed
BY the Second Branch, was taken up and
c1ncurred in. The ordinance does not
REQUIRE any bond Of that class OF dealers
who sell in quantities less than five gal
Ions not to be drunk on the premises.
Mr. Blair called attention to the omts-
sion. He thought the new law would re-
uuire q bond from this class OF dealers as
much as those who sell by the drink, and
as there was no official copy Of the
law, he thought the ordinance ought not
to be acted on until one could be obtain
cd. Mr.. Wilson thought this ordinance,
as II was simply to fix the tax on the
license, was not the one TO define what
classes OF dealers should give the bond
required By the State law. Il was sug-
gested that the ordinance passed at.the
previous meeting was the one TO regulate
the giving OF the bond. Mr.. Blair, on the
ground stated, moved " lPy the ordinance
on the table. The motion was moi second
ed and failed,
Mr.. Blair renewed his motion and ii
being seconded it was lost by the follow
ing vote;
