siderati0n, there appearing to be some
question about the names on the protest.
The San Francisco Electric Light CON-
pany gave notice to The board that they
would take the option OF having a contract

contract In accordance with the one origi-
nally entered into by the electric company.

stable Newell for a lookup at West Berke-
ley, the old one having been given up to a

stion Df the better element of that portion

permission of the Board of Trustees: the
penalty is fine not 10 exceed 500.
The Health Officers report called atten-
tion to several nuisaDces, specifying the
different places. Trustee Whiting op-
posed a recommended ordnance to abate
these nuisances, upon the ground that
vested rights should not be given more
consideration than the health and lives OF
the residents.
The Town Attorney filed his written
opinion that the city officers should be
paid their salaries during the existence OF
the de facte city Government.
Several recommendations of a general
character were made by Town Marshal
Stocker.

Diseruntled Saloon Men.

The saloon men of Alameda are any,
thing but pleased over the action of the
City Trustees in refusing to modify the
saloon license ordinance as requested by
them in their petition presented at the last
meeting Of that body. They had worked
hard in the struggle 10 relieve themselves
of the heavy burden thrown upon them
by the exisdng ordinance, which they
claim IS more than they can stand.
The refusal of the trustees to give them
relief has had the effect of brushing their
feathers the wrong way. Another fact In
the case worthy of nOte is that Trustees
