The committee on public morals Of the
council held a meeting at the city hall
Yesterday. There was much regret over
the continued absence of Councilman
Tom Savage of the eighth ward. but,
after some minutes spent in general talk,
the committee got down to business,
and adopted the following recommends
lions for submission to the council Mon
day, from which it will be seen that the
petition for Sunday CLOSING received due
considerations:
Your committee on public morals beg
leave to report in the matter of petition
No. SIS from the Clerks association ct
al, asking the council to pass an ordi-
nance prohibiting the keeping open on
Sunday Of all mercantile business, bar
Der shops, ETC., except hotels, restau-
rants, livery stables, and drug stores,
recommending that the city attorney be
instructed to prepare and present the
necessary ordinance therefor, with the
following additional provisos

hibited from selling cigars or other ar
ticles of merchandise other than those
required for the use of medicines and
medicinal goods.
Second-That restaurants and hotels
be restrained from the selling Of cigars
or tobacco on Sundays.
The intention of the foregoing two ex-
ceptions being to prohibit the carrying
on of a business by drug store, res
taurant or hotel which is prohibited in
other mercantile lines, and thus prevent
an unjust discrimination against the
merchant who engages wholly in some
of the lines carried on by the druggists.
restaurants and hotels.

passengers to and from the railroad de-

The finance committee of the city
council held a short session yesterday
afternoon, and, in addition to passing
the regular demands, adopted the fol-
lowing recommendations for submission
to the council on Monday:
First-In the matter of the report of
the police commissioners, asking to be
authorized to employ ten men as sub
stitutes for the regular officers during
their ten days vacations provided for
by statute. we recommend that the re-

bS2 from T. Mayor, asking a rebate to

we recommend that the petition be
granted, and that, upon the filing of n
proper demand drawn upon the tax fund
OF 1S96-97. the sum of 500 be returned to
the petitioner.
AFTER THE MILKMEN
The health department is determined
to enforce the ordinance regulating the
sale OF milk In the city. The ordinance
reulres that all milkmen in addition to
taking out regular license shall regis
ter at the health office and take out a
permit authorizing them to do business
IN the city. This precaution is taken to
give the health department an opportun-
ity to Keep track of those who violate
the law. AT the last date on which the
ordinance was operative quite a num-
Der OF the milkmen were delinquent
and they were taken before Justice Nor
rison and let off with a nominal fine Of
". BY strange coincidence this year
a majority Of the delinquents are the
same as those of last year. The per-
mits expired on the 30th of April last
and new permits should have been taken
out on May LIST. 1t was thought that one
month was sufficient time to enable all
delinquents to take out their permits,
but 1t appears that fifty-seven milkmen
neglected this important detail. Yes
terday DR.. Blackington, milk and meat
inspector, swore to complaints against
ffty-seven of the delinquents, and war
rants were issued for their arrest. They
are charged with bringing and sending
milk into the city for sale, and Offering
for sale, within said city milk, without
hrst having obtained a written permit
from the health officer so to do. The
men will be arrested as fast as they can
be found, and taken before the police
court, when they will be required to de-
post 500 cash bail, or $10O bonds. The
Following are the milkmen for whom
warrants are out:

FIGURING ON THEIR ESTIMATES
The various city officials are getting
their estimates of the expenses Of theft
several departments in shape for the

principal departments affected by do
