nothing has created MS much excltemeh'

expressing strong indignation against
Reedy and his companions ana q petition

Council on the same night was the scene
OF lively debate on bill torbiddins Ihe
keep,r of any saloon where girls were
employed, or where they were allowed 10
lounge about. AS q sufficient NUMBER
of votes could not be obtained to suspend
the rules to pass the bill, it was resa LOT

a spec,al session to night. The genera
