PASADENA.


PASADENA, May S.-The city council
met in regular session this afternoon
with Trustee Cox absent. Mr.. Lukenk
was appointed president pro tenn. All
bills filed to date we're referred to the
auditing and finance committee without
reading.
The rules were then Suspended and q
general discussion ensued upon the sub
jsct of the present regulations for serv-
ing wines and beer in restaurants, in q
line with the telling article which ap-
peared in this mornings HERALD.
All the councilmen were agreed that
something must be done, Mr.. McQuil-
ling stating thst he would resign from
the board unless something was done to
remedy the present state Of affairs. Mr..
Clark was OF the opinion that 1t would
be the best thing TO 60 back to the old
prohibitory ordinance.
Mr.. Buchanan, the city marshal. WAS
called in and asked to give his opinion
ss to what had better be done. He
stated that under the present ordnance
it was impossible to regulate the
sale OF wine and beer; that
few crackers and piece OF
cheese was considered lunch,
and that he had never been able
to obtain evidence that wine or beer
we're sold without this accompaniment; !;
that as far as he was concerned, he did
not believe in hiring men to snoop
sround to gain evidence against the res
taurant keepers, but that he stood ready
to enforce any practical ordinance the
council might pasa.
In the discussion which ensued there
was general tendency to shift the re-
eponsibility upon "the other fellow"
and as no one made motion the dis
cussion was dropped. 1t is understood,
however, that q test case will be made
to ascertain what can be done under the
present ordinance.
The regular order OF business was then
taken up. IN,
