and Lindley present.
In the matter of the petition of G. B.
Woo lhead for the revelation of the
license of ]. Maghetti, at the corner of
Alpine and Buena Vistas treets, for selling
LIQUOR to minors, the Chief reported that
the saloon-keeper had promised not to
sell any liquor to minors in future unless
upon written order from their parents.
Mr.. Lindley asked upon what right he
made such q conditional promise, as it
seemed to him that the license ought to
be revoked for selling liquor to minors,
whether on an order from their parents
or not.
Mayor Hazard was of the opinion
that there was not bar
tender in the city who would re-
fuse to sell q bucket Of beer or
Q bottle of wine to q minor who had
been sent by its parents to the saloon.
Mr.. Collins suggested that the board
establish an age under which . child
should not be allowed to enter saloon;
but Mayor Hazard opposed this on the
ground that such law would be tacit
acknowledgement that all over the age
determined upon could enter saloon.
After lengthy discussion of the ques-
ton, Mr.. Lindley, seconded by Mr.. Dex.
ter, moved the revocation of Maghetti's
license but as the Chiefs report showed
that he had been acquitted of the charge
on the first of the month in Judge Owens
court, and that he had complied with
the provisions of the law governing the
sale of liquor to minors, Mayor Hazard
asked that the matter 60 over for week.

In the matter of the charges preferred
by County Stock Inspector 1. Cowper
against Farrell, the contractor for the re-
moval of dead horses, the Chief reported
that the place occupied BY Farrell as his
crematory for dead animals was in q
filthy condition, and that he believed
that hogs were fed upon the carcases.
With regard to the charge Of selling q
glandered horse, Farrell had sworn to a
complaint against Ramon Chavez, for.
mer employee, charging him with the
theft OF the animal.

Attorney was requested to confer with
the District Attorney with the view OF
ascertaining if there is any law under
which these parties can be punished for
feeding hogs on carcases of dead ami
mails.
