R1 Mayor Wheelock, on yesterday
afternoon, notified all the saloon keepers
in this city not to sell Intoxicating liquors
to John Allen, Barney Cleveland and
James Suiter, under penalty of having
their license revoked. These parties are
public nuisances when under the influence
of liquor, aud have been a great source Of
annoyance to our police force. The actor
of the mayor is commendable, both for ths
benefit of the parties interested and fol
public order and decency.
BaF There is some talk among our citi
zens in regard to new library rooms, th'
present rooms being too small for th'
wants of the library. In their annual re

of directors of the library suggested thi
matter to the council, but no action wa
then taken on the subject, owing, probably
to the small rent 1920 per year, the cit
: pays for the rooms now occupied. 1t ha
| been snggusted that rooms large enoug
could be fitted up in the Keator Hous
block at small expense, and if this coul
be done it would add greatly to the popr
D larity of the library. The city counc
i should enquire into the matter.
