Supervisor Wagner Intro
duces a New 0rdi-
nance.
Mr.. HIRsCH STANDS IN.
Sent Back to a Joint Committee
ior Further Considera-
ton.
HIS RESOLUTION NOT PASSED.
The Employing of an Architect for
the Home for Inebriates Laid
Over Two Weeks.

Sunervisor Wagner OF the Solid Eight
attempted to push resolution through to
print at Yesterdays meeting of the Board
of Supervisors, which, if his design had
been accomplished, would have put an end
to the racing at the new lngleslde track
and killed an industry and amusement
that is at present bringing thousands OF
dollars per month into this City.
When the movement was made to close
the downtown pool-selling dens where so
many young men squander their own and
their employers money, because of the
ease with which they can leave their
places for few moments and return after
having made their bets, Supervisor Wag
ner opposed it on the ground that If pool
selling was prohibited IN one portion of
the City and County 1t should be without
the territory under the jurisdiction OF the
board. 1t was expected that he would
lead the Solid Eight in movement to
close the Ingleside course.
The resolution offered yesterday was
was precisely the same as the one which
intended to close the downtown pool
rooms, except that the words except
within the Enclosures of a racetrack" were
the City limits.
The resolution was read by the assistant
clerk and then Supervisor Wagner moved
that It be passed to print.
Il second the motion" said Supervisor
Hirsch.
This matter demands more careful con-
sideration," said Supervisor King. 81
move, as substitute, that the matter be
referred TO the Health and Police Com
mittee.'
The substitute was seconded by Super
visor Hughes.
The matter was not allowed to pass in
this manner. however, for Supervisor Di-
mond moved, as still another substitute,
that the resolution be referred to the Joint
Health and Police and Judiciary commit
tees. He said that the measure previously
considered had gone through this course,
and the same treatment should be &C
corded a measure OF so much importance.
Supervisor Spreckcls seconded the sub
stitute, which was carried by vote of
II to l, Supervisor Wagner being the only
one to vote mo"
If the same feeling prevails in the joint
committee regarding the Wagner resolu-
ton as did while the original poolroom
ordinance was being discussed. 1t is
probable that the matter will be adversely
reported. The meeting OF the joint COM
mittee to consider the matter will be held
on Friday next at O'Clock P. NJ.
Another proposition fathered by "Solid
Eight Wagner was put on the shelf when
the board went into committe of the whole
to consider the resolution offered by the
Supervisor from the Twelfth appointing
William Mooser Jr. as architect to draw
up plans for a Home for Inebriates and
Dipsomaniacs. He moved that the COM
mittee report favorably on the resolution,
Supervisor King seconding the motion.

on the ground that the City and County
Attorney had recently handed down an
opinion stating that under the law the Su-
pervisors can not build on any other lot
than the one originally provided. 'The
title to this lot" said Mr.. Taylor, "is now
involved in litigation, and l do not see
why we should go ahead and spend money
for plans for the home until the. case is
cleared up"
Supervisor Hughes took hand IN the
discussion and said that as the matter was
one recurring careful consideration he was
in favor of laying it over for two weeks,
and motion to this effect was carried.
