The second bali OF the present eerlo'
comic city administration was in the
saddle throughout the whole Of yester-
days meeting of me council and IS a
result the saloon license of Theodore
Bauer for the notorious Horseshoe
saloon, which is the center piece of the
Alameda-strset fence, was ordered oy the
board of police missoners 70 be
forthwith revoked.
The matter came up upon the request Of
the Ministerial union. The proposition
did not bear lodging. The council either
had to whistle or move around the cor
ner. Evasion of the issue for any longer
time appeared to be i'm possible.
Councilman Munson moved that the
request Of the ministers be com piled
with, and the license ordered 10 be re-
vokei.
Councilman Kingery seconded the
motion, and both mem bers made speech
ss in support of tho stand which they lad
taken. A great deal said by each might
better never have been uttered. 1t was
intended to be humorous, and was
SIMPLY vulgar. il was intended to be
brilliant, and simply fell flat The gal
lery enjoyed it, and everyone else looked
surprised.
Councilman Savage, who represents the
ward in which the Horseshoe is such
cor spicuous landmark also spoke to the
kingery resolution. He called attention
10 his own motions made in the past,
favoring the removal of the social evil
from it's present location in the Eighth
ward.
President Teed said nothing. He was
acting ex-oilicio chan man OF the board
of police commissioners when the Bauer
license WAS, in the face Of almost uni
versal opposition, granted, and now he
will be occupying the same position
when the mandate detailing the dsap
prevail of his colleagues OF the action then
taken again comes before the police
board.
iced presided, as ordered at the coun-
Gil meeting yesterday, the city attorney
having given it as his opinion that the
president OF the council could retain his
position IN the chamber and also act
mayor.
Through :the efforts of Councilman
Blanc ARD, the council was perfectly VII
ing to reverse itself and abruptly ED its
economical phantasma, the opening scene
of which was played at the meeting one
week before. Blanchard moved that the
vote y which the colored janitor in the
old city hall building had bern lesislated
out OF his Isl ion be reconsidrred. The
details describing how the various mem
bers houndered about in the matter are
described in another column. The
went TO the finance committee for a re-
port.
Councilman Ashman caused q mile SEN
sation by moving that the strength Of the
fire dep -rtment be increased by the addi-
ton OF a COMPANY TO be com pOsed eXclu-
sivcly of colored men. Ashman is
Democrat, and mis- motion caused COun-
Gilman Munson who is the Republican
leader, to gasp with astonishment. Nun
son, however, proved himself equal to the
d, tl,..4 L..
be referred 20 the board OF fire commits
sioners.
The council yesterday EXTENDED the
time for the payment of city taxes for
one week, and set Monday at 9 ain. for
the bearing OF the various protests
Darcy sewer in district No. s.
The protest against the sewering of
Fourteenth and other streets was, on mo-
ton of Councilman Stockwell, denied.
Health Officer Steddom stared that the
construction of these sewers could not,
for sanitary reasons, be longer DELAYED.
The protest OF Mary A. Strong and others
against the report of the missonerS
for the opening OF Twenty-hrst street
from Bonsallo avenue to Norwood street,
was denied and the contractor who is
grading First street from Broadway to
Hill street was granted an extension of
thirty days in which TO complete the
work.
