THE HAYMARKET QUESTION.
The question of haymarket for tho
farmers was then taken up.
Street Commissioner Green, to whom
the matter had been referred, thought
| the proper way would be to secure a
| place for the farmers somewhere first, and
then fill the Fifteenth-street park up
and put a sidewalk around it. He had
not been able as yet 10 find any suitable
place except the one offered by L. j.
Clunie at Twenty-tirst and p streets.
/ On motion of Trustee Conklin, the
| Street Commissioner was granted two
weeks further time to find place.
SOLD LIQUOR WITHOUT LICENSE.
| A. Fossati, who applied last week for a
| license to sell liquor at Twenty first and
/ 0 streets, opposite the Swimming Baths,
| and was refused by The board on account
of strong protest against it, appeared
/ yesterday and asked the board to recon-
slider its action, but he struck a snag very
unexpectedly.
| Mayor Steinman said that he did not
seem to care much whether he had a
license or not, as he rode past his place
! the Gay before and found him selling
! liquor. He thought it would be well Tor
the board to find out whether a man
/ cauld sell liquor as he pleased, or the re-
lusal 70 grant license meant something.
b. {. Hart, who appeared on behalf OF
/ I ossatl, stated that the protest presented
/ last week mad many siguerS who lived in
other blocks, and that the law recognized
those only who lived in the half block
/ Where the saloon was situated.
I Lincoln White, vino appeared for the
| protestants, sand he had been informed
That tossati had not only been selling
4lquCr to men, but also to miners.
Fossau denleu this, and said he had
sold only soda water 10 boys. lie wanted
/ to run the saloon, as. it WAS his property
ana the lease of his tenant had expired
/ lie thought he ought 10 he allowed 10
make living.
The board refused TO reconsider its ac-
I ton and Fossati then presented another
/ applcallon Tor license, signed by people
from Nj street TO 5, and Tor blocks each
way in the other direction. and in MANY
cases from three to five signatures OF
persons living In the same house and not
1 taxpayers. lie evidently thought that
The number of signatures, however ire
sPohslDIe, would oVorDalance the protest.
trustee Conklln moved The matter be
Ialu over one week, but the AlaVOr said
lie had heard all Of it he wanted to and
moved that the license be denied Trustee
Green seconded il, and Fossati Will have
10 90 without the license and probably
Will be prosecuted besides for selling
liquor without license, as the Mayor re-
marked that the board, if it had intended
TO depose POundmaster O'Nail for not
fepaylng dollar collected by his deputy,
ought certainly TO find out il u man could
sell liquor when they had refused to grant
MN license.
