HAVE A CARE.
Mavor Ames gave the city council last
night. in an official message, little ADVICE.
The message reads:
herewith return to you, without my APP
proval the resolution amending an aSsesS-
ment for water main on Fourth street, from
Cedar avenue to Twenty-second avenue
south, etc. My reason for withholding my
approval is that the board of water commits
sioners have, acting under your former IN
structions, let the contract for laying the
MAN, and have the pipe distributed Tor the
same In this connection l desire to caution
your honorable body against hasty Legislation,
which has been the cause of considerable
trouble of late.
Aid Barrows said that the reason for the
action of the council in the premises was
that many of the residents are unable to
stand the expense. 1.-The water main. so
near as I can find out" he added, lis for
the benefit of that brewery down there"
Aid. Haugan explained that the residents
in that locality had last year been obliged
10 pay assessments for sewers and
the water Emains would be hardship.
Aid. Morse said former president of the
council had ruled that a veto message could
be referred, but the charter prescribes
specifically what shall be done. Aid.
L'Herault wanted to know what would be
the position of the city. The contract has
been awarded and the pipe ordered laid,
and Aid BarroWs declared that the water
commission had assured him that it made
no difference with the contractor. The
mayors veto. was sustained, Ia to 8.
THE MAYORS VETO.
Mayor Ames disapproves of donating
pEblic property to private individuals. Last
night he communicated the council as fol-
lows:
herewith return to you without my ap-
prevail the resolution ''vacating portion of
Bryant street, passed by your honorable
body, June 49, 1856. My reason for so doing
is that l know of no place in the city where
there is too much street room, and L am not
in favor of giving one inch of public property
to private individuals.
Aid. Morse explained that evidently the
mayor did not understand the conditions OF
the case. He said that Thomas Lowry had
donated another, better and more satlSfac-
tory street with the understanding that this
portion of Bryant street should be vacated.
A roll-call was taken, and the resolution
was passed unanimously.
The mayor also vetoed the resolution
passed June Is vacating portion of Grove
land avenue, giving this explanation: l
cannot see any good reason for giving away
street room no matter how ample it may be-
while I can see good reasons for holding on
to all we have and also acquiring manly
more broad acres as breathing places for
the masses of the people.
Aid. Sly sprang to his feet to state that
this was portion of the same piece of
business. 1.-The mayor had best find out
what he is doing" he said, ''before vetong
a measure" The resolution also passed
over the veto.
THE DEAD LINE.
Through misunderstanding growing out
of the amendment to the dead-line Ordi-
nance So-called, extending the circle, three
licenses have been issued to saloonkeeperS
whose respective places of business are out
side the line Last night the mayor sent a
message to the city council. as follows:
have this day revoked the liquor licenses
issued as follows: License No 211, issued
8, 1885, to Bernard Fitting, at No. 1901 Mar
shall street northeast; license No. 212, issued
June 3, 1856, to Gustave Deistung at No. 253
Twentieth avenue south; license No. 236. is
sued June z, 1887, to John Olmschild at No.
1928 South Main street. The reasons i give
for revoking these licenses is that they were
given to persons whose respective places of
business are outside the ''active patrol lin
it's as prescribed by ordinance.
The matter was referred to the committee
on licenses. Later in the evening Aid.
Clark presented resolution retundlng the
respective sums of $500, paid by the above
saloonkeepers for their licenses, and the
same was adopted.
BREAK THE DEAD LINE.
An attempt was made to break the pa
troll line limits in special case. Mrs.
Barbara Winkler, the widow of the MUIR
dered patrol wagon driver, asked the right
TO rent her premises for a saloon in South
Minneapolis outside the patrol. She claimed
that her property was mortgaged and she
feared that she would lose her property
unless she could get a good income
from the use Of the same. Aid. Dwyer
and Fleetham from the committee on IL
censes reported in favor of granting the
foon, while Aid. ClOutier and Aid Clark
disapproved of the measure, Aid.
johnson. lso q member of the COM
mttee was in favor of granting the privi-
Iege, but he would not vote in favor of Aid.
DIVERS provision that Mrs. Winkler
should not sell liquor herself, be.
cause he considered that some
what irregular and quite improper
Aid. Eichhorn favored the extension owing
to the eXigencies of the case. and Aid.
Clouter could not vote for the extension
because he would not indorse the patrol
limits in any way. He thought that in
case he voted for an extension he recog-
nized the measure. which is very distaSte
full to him. The negative report only re-
ceived ayes, and the minority report was
referred back to the committee Oh licenses
with instructions to so wore
the amendment to the ordinance
that the Winkler block ano
that portion of the city intervening the
same and the present dead line be taker
into camp. Aid. Cloutier offered motion
that the committee be instructed to present
an amendment abolishing the entire patro
limits, but it received no second.
