The application for licenses of
John Fitzgerald, Clough avenue hotel;
John G.. Glyer, northeast corner Third
and Tower, and John w. Peterson.
Clough island, were favorably reported.
On the latter application the most in
terest centered owing to its location.
1t is upon the picturesque Clough Is
! land in the st. Louis river, but inside
| the city limits. As this is a point en-
tirely isolated from the city and away
from police observation, the commit
tee were in doubt about granting the
application The difficulty was sur
mounted by Mr.. Peterson signing
contract drawn by the city attorney.
This agreement, which was read to the
council, provided that the applicants
for license should pay into the city
treasury in advance the sum Of $50, to
be used IN defraying the cost of po-
liceman to be located there. More Ollie
ers are to be appointed, if considered
necessary by the mayor and chief of
police and all officers are to be appointed
by the mayor in regular order, but at no
expense to the city. The three licenses
were granted.

granting a license to the Gem Theatre

divided. Aid. Bertrand objected to the
granting of tire license, and said: No
alderman can afford, for the sake of
$500 TO vote for this license. For
young children to 60 to the thea
ter and find n saloon in con-
nectiou r highly undesirable. Ifthey
are willing to run a saloon, | shall vote
for their license, but as licensed thea
ter, object to it."
Aid. Brennan replied to Aid. Ber-
trard's argument, and said he under
stood no minors were allowed where the
liquor was disposed of and that the
place was orderly and was not objected
to by the residents near by.
Aid. Ross favored the granting of
license and in support OF his position
said: " have not made it a practice to
visit this place so it Is no protege of
mine. | have been told, however, by
parties whose business took them there
that liquor was consumed onthe premi-
scS. Iapprehend that those going there
