posed of. The revocation of the license
of Layton, at SO Los Angeles street, was
rescinded for one months time. The
complaint against one Faucher, who
keeps the White Elephant saloon, oppo-
site the new depot, was exploited. It is
claimed that it is disreputable place.
Mr.. Pridham, Assistant Superintend-

it is dangerous and disorderly place,
frequented by thieves and such like per-
sons, in fact veritable Gushing ken."

be notified to appear before the Board at
its next regular meeting.
The Mayor offered the following reso-
luton, which was unanimously adopted:
SIN view of the large class of vicious
men known to be vagrants, disreputable
characters of the class known as Macs"
and also confidence men, now in our city,
the Chief of Police is hereby directed to
at once detail Officers Auble, Bosqui and
Hawley to as soon as possible, in person,
notify all persons of the class designated
to leave the city within three days, as
the law against such characters will
hereafter be rigidly enforced.
The attention of county officers are
respectfully but earnestly called to these
evils, and asked to give us aid in this
matter as is in their power under the
State laws"

A Mr.. E. r. Williams preferred
charges against star No. SO. The
charges were quite serious against the

Long berg and Company, the applicants,
were referred to tho Street SuperinteHd-
ent.
Officer John S. Flickner rendered his
resignation; also Edward Mccullough
and Daniel Lynch. All the designations
were accepted.
The Chief made this explanation re-
garding the discharge of Officer Van Lu.
ven. He had been taking the place of an
absent officer as special, and upon the
return of that officer his services were no
longer required. The public had been
led to believe that he had been relieved
of his star for other causes.

made applications for posit ions on the
force. Filed
Officer Van Luven was put on the force
as special.
William T. Gilbert was appointed q
special officer without pay.
M. w. Dodd still wants his property,
at the corner of Turner and Alameda
streets, to be occupied by the gay maid
ems who abound there. He thinks no
discrimination should be used against
his tenants when others of the same
kind in the vicinity are let alone. He
}charged that Cora Phillips influences the
officers of the law to raid his tenants.
| (Chief Cuddy here interrupted Mr.. Dodd
and requested that he keen on the side
of truth and not mislead the Board). Mr..
Dodd says he cannot let his houses to
reputable parties because of the sur
roundirgs. He would be glad to let his
houses to proper persons.
Mr.. Humphreys thought that there
should be no discrimination shown.
The matter was cut short by the adjourn
ment Of the Board.
A worthy Promotion.
