The political pot Is again boiling and
the license commissioners bill Is now the
bone OF contention. For long time 1t
has been the ieeling among the leading
men of this city, irrespective of party, that
the board of license commissioners was
not composed Of the right material, and
the granting Of certain licenses against
which strong protests were presented
stirred popular indignation against the
board. and led to suspicious that the liquor
members Ex-Mayor Grant appointed the
first board under the new law and gave
the Democrats one Representative, but
Mayor Pond has made 1t strictly parti-
san board, all Democrats, when at the
same time the Republican City Council
elected Democrat on the board OF water
commissioners and board of health, which
is.esch composed of three members. This
intense partisanship has aroused the
present movement to take this appointing
power from the Mayor and give 1T to the
City Council and the general sentiment
OF the business men is in favor OF the
change.
When Mayor Pond calmly pocketed the
resolution last Monday evening and said
he would take 1t into consideration he
thought it would not see light until after
May 5, but sworn copies were secured
from the clerks Of the city council and the
bill was presented yesterday by Repre-
-
liOne hot headed Democrat stigmatized
this act as revolutionary hut to the
unmitigated it would seem much more
lawful proceeding for the city council by
concurrent vote to ask for special legisla-
tion, than for single member of the
legislature to introduce bill changing
the method of electing the school COM
mittee.
