the Council had passed a resolution linn
itiDg the issuance of saloon licenses. He
had been informed that no attention had
been paid by the Police Commissioners
to the resolution, and he wanted to
know why.

number fixed was 230, and since this
number had been reached he had re-
fused to vote on the issuance of new
licenses.

informed that there were 240 licenses on
the list
Mr.. Hitler moved that the Police Com
mission be requested to explain why it
had granted new licenses.
MIR. Collins thought that it was the
wrong time of the year to bring up this

Mayor, and he did not propose to have it
done. He did not think it was right.
MIR. Chandler moved that the new
licenses be destroyed.

Mr.. Cohn said that it was nonsense for
a motion like Mr.. Chandler's to prevail,
for the men who had been granted Ii

of the Council.
