NOW GOES TO The MAYOR.
FINAL PASSAGE OF THE REVISED
LICENSE ORDINANCE.
Has Been Before the Council for the
Past Six Months-Is Expected to
Largely Increase the Rev
enues of the City.

After six months of more or less ami
mated debate the revised license ordinance
has finally passed the council and now goes
to the mayor for his signature. The ordl-
nance was passed by the lower house last
night without debate, in the shape in
which it came from the upper house,
which passed it Tuesday night.
The ordinance was first introduced July
Z and has been before almost every meet
ing of the council held since that time.
After being weighted down by numerous
amendments in each house 1t went to a
conference committee.
1t is expected that the revised ordinance
will largely increase the revenues OF the
city, many new sources of revenue have
been Incorporated.
The lower house East night passed ordi-
nances for paving Fourth street from Wal
nut to Grand; to buy 5000 pump for the
water works department, and to confirm
the contract with the Parker-W ashington
Paving Company for paving Lawton place.
In the Upper House.
The upper house last night considered
only matters of secondary Importance
inspection ordinance came up, as was eN-
peCted. Alderman Browns ordinance to
charge a 30 cent fee for furnishing death
AMI birth certificates occupied most of the
time of the session, and was finally re-
referred to the finance committee.
a gasoline lamp was located on the Agnes
avenue bridge near Fifteenth street, where
