WARDS.
Before the result was announced Mr.

Before the result was announced Mr..
Jesse Yarnell, who was in the lobby,
entered vigorous protest against the
counting of the vote of Precinct B, of
the Eighth ward, the tellers having an
nounced that there was discrepancy Of
81 votes, but recommended that as the
result would not be changed the returns
as made be counted. Mr.. Yarnell said
that there was manifestly fraud perpe-
trated at the polls, and he had called
upon the chief OF police to send an Off
Ger down to protect them, but after
promising to do so, that official had not
fulfilled his promise. After some dis
cussion the matter was dropped, and the
result of the election announced as
above.
Mr.. Shafer then called for the reading
OF the draft OF an ordinance closing the
saloons on Sunday, as follows:
An ordinance regulating the sale of
liquors within the city of Los Angeles,
and prescribing penalty for violations
thereof.
The mayor and council of the city Of
Los Angeles do ordain as follows:
SECTION l. 1t shall be unlawful for
any person, either as owner, agent or
employee of any barroom, saloon or
drinking place within the corporate linn
its OF the city of Los Angeles to sell or
give away within the limits of such bar
room, saloon or drinking place, any
spurious, vinous, malt or mixed liquors
between the hours of II O'Clock, mid
night, on Saturday night, and IL O'Clock,
midnight, of the Sunday following.
Sec. 2. Amy person who shall vio-
late any of the provisions OF this ordi-
nance shall be deemed guilty of mis-
demeanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be fined in a sum not exceeding
5000, or be imprisoned in the city jail
for term not exceeding 100 days, or
shall suffer both such fine and impris-
onment.
SEC. 3. The city clerk shall certify to
the passage of this ordinance, etc. \
The rules with regard to printing hav-
ing been suspended the ordinance was, on
motion of Mr.. Shafer, then put upon its
passage.
Mr.. Brown said that he was probably
as good Sunday man as any OF them,
but he was opposed to the movement
as it would lead to the erection of a
number of dives outside the city limits
from which no revenue could be col.
lected and over which the police had nc
control.
On the roll being called, the vote was
recorded as follows: Ayes-Bonsall
Hamilton, Shafer, Van Dusen and
Frankenfeld; noes-Brown, NcLain,
Summerland and ~irsching; 5 to a.
The chairman having announced that
the ordinance had passed, Mr.. Hamilton
moved that the city clerk be instructed
to file the ordinance with the mayor for
his approval before 5 O'Clock p. M, and
it was go ordered.
A communication was received from
the board of park commissioners, which
was received and filed and another from
the board of fire commissioners was re-
ferred to the committee on fire and
water.
Mr.. Wirsching moved that the charter
committee receive verbal and written
suggestions in regrad to redivision OF
the wards, and an increase of their num-
ber, in order that all parts OF the city
may be fairly represented.
President Frankenfeld thought it was
dangerous thing to meddle with the
dividing lines of wards, as Mr.. McKin.
ley OF Ohio had found out to his cost
The matter was referred to the charter
committee without further debate.
After transacting some further unim
portant matters the council adjourned
