been paid by the proprietor of Kernan's
Theatre. Mr.. Herman said to Commits
sioner Douglass this morning that it had
| been his intention to do away with the
waters when his license to run bar was
granted. At that time he desired to know
if he would be subject to the walters
license, although the walters were only
employed during the time between the
application and the granting of his license.
The question was referred to Attorney

decision Mr.. Herman continued to sell
drinks to the audience through the
