In calling attention to the foregoing sec.
tIons Of the ordinance regulating the
granting Of license, the ladies take oc-
casion to remark upon them, and upon
the general subject to which they relate;
as follows:
ut would seem from the proceedings
OF the last meeting of Council In regard
to the granting ol license 10 saloons, that
the intention is to continue the license TO
them, and this, too, regardless Of one Of
the most earnest prayers and petitions
ever before submitted 10 the Council,
signed by 1000 adults ot the city, asking
said Council 10 permit a vote 10 be taken
on the question of license or NO license.
"Now we hope and pray that there is
manhood enough in the Council 10 stand
up and do right for the sake Of humanity,
and 10 sustain at least rule 35 ss laid down
on page 1853 OF the volume containing the
city ordinances, and which reads as lol-
ows:
IAN applications for II enses for ordinArIes and
coffee houses OF tee fret class shall be laid on
the table for at least one tpetk; and in the mean.
time the list OF such applications thall b. pub
lished tor general Information"
"This rule gives our citizens some op.
portunity Of saying whether these saloons
are approved or not, as provided for In sec.
tion 13. The enforcement Of this rule we
deem TO be due TO our citizens, and we
hope it will be fully considered in Coun.
Gil, We also call the attention OF our
Chief Of Police and his deputies 10 the
sections quoted above from the 35th
chapter, and express the hope that they
will, as is required OF them by the law,
bring oil offenders 10 justice. And we
also express the hope that our honorable
Mayor will likewise discharge the duty
that deVolves upon him, and sec that the
laws entrusted to his keeping are not lett
as dead letters npon the statute book. All
Of which is respectfully submitted by
MEMBERS OF WoMEN's TEMPERANCE
BAND.
