others, asking that the discharge OF fire.
works, anvils or cannon on First and
Hill street be forbidden, was referred to

The monthly payroll was submitted
70 the board by the chief. The mayor
objected to the fact that officer Bob Mar
tins pay had been stopped for five days
and moved to amend the roll 80 as to
give the officer his full months pay. He
argued that inasmuch as the charges
against Martin had not been sustained,
he ought not to be deprived Of any part
of his pay. The amendment was lost by
. vote OF 3 toI2, and the payroll
was approved as submitted.
The usual demands were approved.

for transfer from Mohr was again taken
up and was aled.
Mr.. Lewis moved to instruct the chief
to compel the occupants of cribs on
Alameda street to close up all means Of
ingress or earess az well as the windows
on the streets at once. Carried.
The board then adjourned, but imme-
diately met again as q committee of the
whole when it was learned that dele.
cation of ladies and gentlemen, repre-
senting the Ministerial association, the
Minister'S society of the Methodist
church, and the w. @. T. o., were in
waiting to urge upon tie commission to
adopt vigorous measures with regard to
closing the houses Of prostitution.
After considerable discussion Of the
practicability Of several methods to be
assumed, the motion which had been
made by Mr.. Lewis and adopted, was
extended 60 az to provide that the doors
and windows OF all houses of ill-fame
should be kept closed. The members oi
the delegation asked, however, that the
enforcement of the newly adopted mea
sure be kept in allegiance for couple ol
weeks in order TO allow a number o1
Christian women to make an attempt tc
reclsim some of the fallen women on
Alameda street and elsewhere.
