BERKELEY.

The Board of Trustees will meet this
evening as usual, but it is likely their
action will not be permitted to proceed
with its usual uninterrupted calm. At
the last meeting of the board the petition
of the liquor-deaiers for reduction of
their licenses from 5000 TO 500, and that
license Of 800 be laid on all soda fOun-
taiDs TO cover any possible Illegal traffic in
liquor. was accepted, and at tO-night's
meeting the ordinance for the change will
be presented by the Town Attorney. But,
if the indignant tone of the merchants
and other citizens of the town is any
criterion, so gross recognition of lis
failure to uphold the university liquor law
and so marked concern for the welfare
of the saloons will not be suffered to pass
unchallenged. The Good Government
Club will be out in force and business
men, fathers of families and lovers OF fair
dealing in general will fill the lobby this
evening ready TO speak against the pro-
posed action of the board. Trustees
Acton, Whiting and Holder are the three
members who voted to accept the petition,
and it remains to be seen whether they
will continue to oppose what is apparently
The sentiment OF the respectable element
of the town.

The funds of the Holmes Library are
