Introduction of Another License
Ordinance.
DECIDED VIEWS EXPRESSED.
Majority Required to Pass an Ordinance
Williams and the Water Con-
tract-Laborers' Pay.

500 was not received from the board of
aldermen. The house passed a resolution
directing the licence collector 10 collect at
once the theater licenses in arrears. A
second resolution by Mr.. Bagley urging
the chief of police to enforce the present
law was also adopted, Mr.. Willis being
the only one to vote against the resclu-
tons.
This action was taken in order 10 indi-
cate that the house did not intend TO
adopt the changes in the license law, and
settles the question as far as the house IS
concerned. Several of the theatres and
music halls are in arrears.
A house of delegate bill authorizing the
appointment of license inspector was
passed.
