LAW TO Be ENFORCED.
Charles H. Jenks Elected Chairman
Of the Board.

The License Commissioners met last
evening for organization and elected Com
missioner Charles II. jerks Chairman for
the year 1888 81. Commissioner George
M. Rex was elected Secretary.
The Board consists at present of the
Chairman, Charles ii. jerks, who has Just
begun full term of three years under ap.
pointment Of Mayor Brown; Secretary
George M. Rex, who was appointed by
Mayor Carroll last Summer to hll an un-
expired term caused by the removal from
office OF Charles X. Bucklin, and whose
term OF Office expires In April, 1893: and
Bernard Keenan,, who was appointed one
year ago by Mayor Carroll, whose term
expires In April, 1896.
The selection of Commissioner Jenks as
Chairman of the Board appears to give
universal satisfaction, as 1t is generally
understood that he is In thorough accord
with Mayor Brown relative to vigorous
enforcement of the liquor law as he finds
II.
lit is understood that the Chief of Police
will be held to strict accou inability for
the proper enforcement of the law.
In this regard q system of procedure
has been adopted which will prevent the
Chief from making any excuse as regards
not knowing who is licensed and who is
| not.
Hereafter the license will be delivered to
the party to whom It is granted, by the
City Treasurer, upon pay ment of the pro-
per license fee.
II Is then made the duty of the City
Treasurer to send notice at once to the
Secretary of the License Commissioners
and to the Chief of Police that the party
who has been granted a license has re-
ceived the same.
A set of rules has been prepared and
doubtless every liquor dealer received one
In his mail this morning.
They are as follows:
First.-The Board desires to state that
applications for licenses should be made
as early In April as is possible, that the
Commissioners may have sufficient time
to inspect the places desired to be licensed
Second.-The Board desires to advise
those who intend to apply for licenses to
file their bond at the time of making ap-
plicatIon, or as soon after as is possible,
tnat there may be no delay In the issuing
of the License Certificate.
Third.-That no person will be accepted
| as surety on any bond, who does not own
a sufficient amount of real estate, unen-
numbered, to cover the amount of the
| bond. He will then be required to make
oath TO the fact that he is possessed OF
$500 worth of real estate, unencu m bered
by mortgage or by being surety for any
body else on any kind Of bond.
Fourth.-That alhss places for which
licenses shall not have been granted by
the LIST day Of May, 1893. will be ordered
closed.
Fifth.-That no partitions of any nature
whatever will be allowed in any licensed
place.
Sixth.-Persons who are granted a
license will be required to pay for them
Immediately upon notice that their license
has been granted and bond approved, or
their places will be ordered Immediately
closed.
Seventh.-The place where liquors are
stored or kept must have but one entrance,
and that must be by trap from within
the licensed premises. This applies to
those places where the liquors are stored
In the cellar. There will be no objection
to an entrance also from the sidewalk.
EiRht.-But one entrance will be al
lowed to any licensed place, and that must
indicates the location of the place IL
censed. No side entrance Of any kind
whatever will be allowed.
Places desired to be licensed must be ar
ranged In accordance with the provisions
OF this circular, at the time they are in
spected by the License Commissioners g.,
and II they are not, the applications will
positively be refused.
These statements are made that no ap-
plicant can hereafter say that he does not
know how to arrange his place ga tisfac-
tory to the License Commissioners.
