drawn and special committee, COM

THE BAR MEN.
Chief of Police Wilson asked
whether or not he had done right in
forcing number of bar-keepers who
were conducting restaurants adjoining
their saloons to remove curtains from
PARTITION doors leading into the bars.
1t appears that a number of bar
men, on Saturday nights, close their
bars at the prescribed hour and keep
| their restaurants open, selling whis-
key through the PARTITION doors.
They have their front restaurant
doors curtained to prevent officers
from seeing what is going on. Chief
| Wilson compelled them to remove
! the curtains last Saturday night and
a number of them were indignant.
! The Board sustained Mr.. Wilson in
| his action.
An insurance policy for 81 200 with
John G. Young on the furniture in
| the North Winston School was re-
| newed.
| TAX LISTS FOR 1894.

informed the Board that the tax lists
| were ready for the Board to make the
| assessments. He told the Board that
| the listed personal property was
S244, 0O9 less than last year, besides
there were 1873 less polls listed.
