The temperature in the Aliermanic
Board of Aldermen managed before
willing to grant eightsen new liquor Ii
censes and appoint several coustables i'll
places of others who had failed to renew
their bonds as prescribed by law.
In addition there was a lively spat over
the motion to audit Messrs. Regain &
Higgins bill for carpets for the First DIS
trIct court.
The original bill was sl32. so. 1t was
passed aud was vetoed by Mayor Wanser.
Subsequently the bill was reduced TO $ll9,-
20. in other words a reduction OF 90 cents
IL yard, aud the throwing Out of the cost
OF 10 yards Tor waste.
Inc bill was ordered audited. But AL
dernian Salingtr, Chairman of the Com
mittee on District Courts, to whom the re-
ductd bill was not handed until last night,
fought ~strenuously against it,. urging
that he Ii d not had time to properly ex-
anime it. And when the matter was
passed over his head ne declared he
would not surrender it. He said the bill
had been presented to him for legal
action. 4..-r

fusing. as Il member of the Committee on
Dl.ir-ct Courts, to sign the reduced bill,
when, at It's original presentation, he
argued that the bill was all right, but
that his objection was as to whether the

pointed to ascertain if more suitable
Qharters coult not he secured in the CITY
Tail for the Board OF Tai Commissioners
and the Board az Tax Appeals, reported

appropriated from the fuud for the City
Hall insurance and ri IRIS aud added to
the $500 recently appropriated by the
Board OF Finance fer rel airing the Alder
MANIC Chamber. The recommendation
Was adOpted. aud the committee, MessrS
MeEiee. Dusbeni erry ami Kaiser, will
1mnledlrt-ly push the repairs. Alderman
McCoorery's effort to have tie matter of

WIS unsuccessful.
1t is proposed to take down the "high
fence" that the Tax Commits

VREELAND-KAISER ROW.
While II formed no part of last nights
proceedings of the Board Of Aldermen
there was considerable talk among some
who made I'D the slim lobby CONCERNING
the recent granting of a license to Joseph
Kaiser to maintain Il saloon at the Metro
politan Rink building at Greenvilie. Ny
informant tells me that Peter Vreeland,
owner OF the property, put Kaiser in the
building five Years AFRO ia RIM the sa1oon
promising Kaiser he should share equally
the profits. During the five Years the re-
ceipts have amounted 10 $55, 900, II no
returns have yet been made 10 Vreeland.
MIR. Vreeland Determined to GUST Mr..
Kaiser, but Kaiser WIS sharp enough to
apply for a license to run a saloon at the
rink ahead of Mr.. Vreeland's application.
