THE ROSEBUD AGAIN.
Ed Lucey, the persistent cripple who
insists upon keeping the notorious Rose
bud dive open, in violation of the law,
appeared before the board again and
asked for license to run the place. Lu-
cey made a speech in behalf of his petit
ton. He made all sorts of promises
about running an orderly place. He re-
ferred to his crippled condition and said
the authorities should be lenient with
him. All he wanted was "a chance to
make an honest liVing.'
Mayor Comstock said that he for one
was opposed to listening to Lucey's re-
quest. Lucey had defied the authorities
and had kept the dive open without a
license, He had resorted to subterfuges
in order to sell Intoxicating liquor with
out license, and had been arrested and
convicted twice for such action. Still he
insisted upon keeping the place open.
Lucey denied that he had endeavored
to defeat the law by resorting to subter
fuges.

had spoken to him about the matter He
referred the board to Judge Cravens,
City Attorney Hart and Captain Bradley,

STREET sPRINKLING,
Trustee Conklin called attention to the
fact that the hours during which streets
in the business part OF the town were
sprinkled were not as they should be.
The Sprlnkling Of these streets at slipht
did not have the desired effect The sun
soon dried up the streets, and then thew
were dusty ali day. He thought that that
portion of the city bounded by Front and
Tenth, / and streets, should be sprin-
kled in the daytime between the hours of
A. NJ. and p. NJ.
The other members of the board agreed
that this would be good plan, and the
matter was referred to the Street Com
missioner TO make the change.
