tion. - the parliamentary method Was to
report upon the mstters before them.
resident kioeber sustained him, but
ueiegats Cariisls took exception. ::on the
ground that the committee had q night to
report ~ il pleased A sharp and rather
complex debate took place, and threat
ened deadlock VA averted by Delegate
brace bowling to the chairs decision and
making an extendsd report. the object be-
ing 20 get the report Of the special CON-
mittse back into the hands of the house
Drew then moved that the committees re-
port b adopted and the engine accepted.
IhIs was agreed TO. and the matter will
now 20 before ths board Of aldermen.
The COMMITTEES on the Great Northern
ceiebration wanted the council to ioin in
the arrangements for reception. and the
chair appointed Drew. Shields and Lyon.
Carlisie's bill for the weekly payment OF
iaborefs in the employ Of the city vas read
and referred to the committee on claims.
The object II TO avoid men having to dis
count time checks.
A bill was introduced extending the
liquor license limit 20 q to include the
Seattle theatsr. Delegate Drew said the
limits now included the opposite corners,
and liquors we're already sold in the club
occupying the same building. He could
see no objection. Is the locality was now .
business district. Tho bill was referred to
. committee.
The bill creating liquor license district
30 as to include Laurel Shade was also
read. Mr.. Drew said liquors were being
sold and the city might ~ well have
revenue.
Comptroller Carson said they might put
1t down q certain that liquors always had
been. were now, and always will be sold at
such places. Men going out there. for
some reason. wanted liquor: they are COM
PEELED to buy bottle now, and the conse-
quences are worse than il only glasses were
SOLO. The propristors were begging to DO
allowed to accommodate their customers
ana pay revenue to the city. They
wanted to do IL legally and are refused.
Yet. when they are arrested for selling
liquors. the 1uries invariably dcquit them.
The facts are indisputabie, and il is no less
true that the conditions are wore than il
the liquors could be sold In . reasonable
degree without breaking the law.
Mr.. Drew amended the bill 20 ~ to make
retail malt license fee Of $500 ir the
Fourth precinct of the Third ward.
Delegate Crichton regarded tho con.
sumption OF liquor a. the greatest curse Of
the times. but he Was always In favor of
the less Of two evils
The bill was. however, voted down.
One Of very many attempts was made
to pass bill providing for putting up
signs giving the names Of streets. It pro-
vides district bounded bv Weller, Broad
way and Wall streets. but Mr.. Brace
thought signs were more needed In the
outlying districts even than within the
limits named. DR.. Crichton thought
there ought to b reward for conviction
OF any person removing one. The bill
was referred to . committee to embody
these provisions.
dormant provision Of the charter was
aroused last night by an ordinance pro-
viding that upon the board Of works certi-
tying that premises are not drained of
sewage the council may order It done at
owners expense. Delegate Carlisle de.
nounced il ~ sumptuary legislation and
for the purpose OF putting more money
into somebody's POCKET. Delegate Brace
said the present ordinance was ineffective.
and the bill passed The effect will be
that all houses must be connected with
be created. and levy made upon prop.
erty owners to pay for sewers.
