BUTTE. March e0.-The beer halls re-
ccived their death blow at to-night's meet
ing of the council and the action taken at
n meeting OF the license committee a few
days ago, n report of which was published
exclusively in the STANDARD, was verified.
The license committee presented the fo!-
lowing report, which was adopted by n
unanimous vote and without word of
discussion: 1--WE have examined the list
of licenses expiring for tho months of
March ard April and recommend that all
of said licenses be renewed upon npplica-
ton excepting TO those saloons run in
connection with the beer halls known as
the Coliseum, Spread Eagle and Clipper
Shades"
Following the adoption OF the report
Cook asked if tho saloon conducted by
Phil Levy and Bob Haislop in East Gllena
street had been included in the list of
those whose licenses expire in March ami
April. 1t could not be found in the list,
but the chairman of the license commit
tee promised to inform Mr.. Cook when
he received a notification of the eXpra-
ton of its license from the county treas
urer. Mr.. Cooks question was asked in
manner which indicates that he pro-
poses TO fight n renewal of the license to
bob and Pills" saloon on the ground
that il is a resort for flim-flammers and
crooked poker players and from tho ex-
preston of other aldermen he viii! not be
without support.
