Mr.. Wright moved suspension of the
rules for the considera ton of H. F. 752,
the revised census bill, but Mr.. Lock-
wood objected and said the bill had not
been printed, so the motion was lost.
The Howard charter bill, which was
a special order for the afternoon, was
then taken up and read at length.
When the reading had been finished
Mr.. Dale offered an amendment to sub
division "a OF section 1876, relating to
licenses. His amendment proposed
changing the number of petitioners
who must sign a petition asking the
city council to change the limits where
liquor may be sold, from four-fifths
to three-fourths of the property own
ers in the territory sought to be in
cluded, making majority vote of the
city council instead of four-fifths. Also
to strike out the proviso retaining pa
troll limits already established
Mr.. Gibbs was opposed to amending
the bill, and thought it had been care
fully considered and ought not to be
! patched up in the house.
Mr.. Dale spoke in favor of the amend
ment and urged its adoption in the in
terest of farmers, and held that the
majority should rule in all cases.
MIR. Gibbs favored considering the bill
and disposing of it and moved call
of the house.
When the members had been brought
in from the cloak rooms and Hobbies
Mr.. Robbins took the floor; opposed
the adoption of the Dale amendment
and no change should be made in the
bill.
Mr.. Gibbs hoped every amendments
would be voted down and the bill
passed without delay.
Mr.. Dale said the patrol limits in
Minneapolis worked an injustice, and
said they restricted business to Ger
tain localities. He owned property out
side of the limits, but would not lease
his property for the purpose of the
sale of Intoxicating liquors.
Mr.. Downs said if there was one
thing in which the people of Minneap-.
oils, without distinction as to nation
atty creed or party, were united upon.
1t was the retention of the present
patrol limits. They we'll knew how
easy 1t would be for the whisky deaf
ers to secure a change in the limits If
1t We're left to q. majority of the people
alone, consequently the provision re-
quiring four-fifths of the property own
ers and of the city council, had been
placed on the bill.
MIR. Johns thought it unnecessary to
consider the bill at length, as the Joint
committees had worked upon it for
many weeks, and the measure was the
best that had ever been presented TO
the legislature of this state. He would
oppose every amendment, and hoped
the bill would pass without a single
change
Mr.. OReilley thought the bill should
be considered carefully. as there might
be sections which should be amended
He was opposed to the Dale amend
ment, and thought the provisions re-
lating to the patrol limits were liberal.
OPPOSED BY AHLSTROM.
Mr.. Ahlstrom also opposed the Dale
amendment, and said that matter had
been carefully considered by the Hen
nepin delegation before the legislature
convened, and it was agreed upon
unanimously
The amendment was lost.
Mr.. Lovejoy offered an amendment
to subdivision II of the same section.
placing the authority to fix the price
OF gas, ETC., with the city council.
ms amendment was also defeated.
Mr.. Baston's amendment to section
IA was also defeated
Mr. Gerlach offered an amendment
to section III, providing that an officer
who is once on the pension list and re-
turns to duty again shall not lose his
pension.
Mr.. Warner favored the amendment,
and Messrs. Sander and Robbins OBJ
posed. Like the other proposed
changes, this amendment was voted
down.
Mr.. Robbins thought no bill before
the legislature had been as carefully
considered as this, and thought it
should be passed without change or
amendment.
The bill was then passed by a vote
of 80 to 2, Messrs. BaSton and Dale
voting no.
THE SHEEHAN BILL.
The Sheehan home rule bill was
then taken up and passed after a
short but hot debate.
j. d. Jones led the opposition. and
was supported by Messrs. Underleak
and Littleton.

for the bill, and he succeeded in
carrying it through, with the assist

handing the bill, and Mr.. Sutton.
