pGnaed, 201; jurors summoned, 240;
notices to trim trees served, 81 stolen
property recovered to the value of $9S. 10;
254 persons were treated by the police
surgeon, and Is persons who were desti-
tute were fed and cared for. An inter
esting item was appended in the shape
of comparison between the new and
old systems of feeding the city's pris-
oners, showing that the former made a
saving of SALTS to the city.
The chief reported in the matter of
the protest against the license granted
to Henry Cramer at No. 1874 East First
street, that his former report had been
erroneous in that travelled road in the
center of the block between State and
Cummings streets was supposed to be the
boundary of block. AS it was shown
that Cramer had not procured the sigma
lures of the requisite number of prop
erty-owners, Mr.. Dexter moved that
Mr.. Cramer's license be revoked but
as Mr.. Collins objected and there seemed
to be likelihood of a lengthy discussion
before the motion met with second,
the same commissioner moved that the
matter lay over for a week, which mo-
tion prevailed.
The application of Jean Lacroix for a
permit to obtain license for new
saloon at No. $40 Also street, was
granted on the recommendation OF the
chief.
The application of M. Eyraud for a
MED on motion of Mr.. Dexter, the petit
necessary number OF signatures, and
The petitions of L. Hirschfield and B.
Mr,oIIar for rob ripO On aoob nf + fbair
applications were denied.
The following applications for trans
fers of license were granted: Christian
KrempeI, No. 400 South Main street,
from Chas. Knobloch; Christian Krem-
pei, No. 500 South Spring street, from p
Kumpf; G. Belli, No. 665 Upper Main
street, from Belli & Kiesner, next door,
The applications of A. Fuhrberg for a
new saloon license at No. POI South
Main street, and r. S. Hanes for sim
liar privilege at No. 313 North Main
street, were referred to the chief under
the rule, while that of J. B. Hollings-
worth, No. 100 East First street, was
granted on the chiefs recommendation
At this juncture Mr.. Collins stated
that the saloon men had received the
impression that the board could sus-
pend its rule requiring the two-third
signature to their applications at any
time it saw fit, and as, in fact, it had
done SO, he moved to suspend it
now. Mr.. Dexter expressed the hope
that the motion would not prevail,
as the rule was a good and satisfactory
one.
Mr.. Collins thought that as the city
derived most of its income from the
saloon men they should be treated fairly
by the board. Mr.. Lewis expressed it
as his opinion that the taxpayers and
property-owners of the city were equally
entitled to consideration. After some
discussion Mr.. Collins withdrew his mo-
tion, which had not been seconded, and
it was understood that the rule would be
strictly enforced.
At the request of the council, Guada-
lupe Rosas was appointed special po-
liceman to prevent others than the N.
G. G. from shooting at reservoir No. A.
Henry Riemann was appointed as a
special officer at the postoffice, and W..
G. Leopold as special at the Broadway
market.
Hon. J. Kuhrts, accompanied by Dep
uty United States Marshal W. +. Tar
BILE, appeared before the board at this
juncture and asked that couple of po-
licemen be detailed to take charge Of the
Apache Indians which were expected to
arrive in the city for the Fourth of July
celebration. The matter was referred to
the chief, with power to act.
A number of demands, amounting in
the aggregate to $92.02, were approved
asIread.
Three petitions were then read asking
the board to revoke the license OF Paul
Metzam, No. ITO New High street, it
being alleged that he and his bartender
were in the habit of selling liquor to
minors, and on motion of Mr.. Dexter the
matter was referred to special commit
tee appointed by the chair to investigate,
consisting of Messrs. Dexter, Collins and
Bryson.
A long letter was read from Humane
Officer M. v. Wright, addressed to Mr..
Dexter, calling the attention of the board
to the fact that in spite of its instruc-
tions to close up the dance-houses, two
of them had reopened, and were fire.
quented by girls. On motion of Mr..
Lewis the communication was referred
to Chief Glass, who said that it seemed
to him little strange that Wright had
not spoken to him about the matter, in
stead of writing first to Mr.. Dexter.
The report of the committee appointed
to investigate the charges preferred
against Officer G. D. Vpeatherman by
