the other day he received an inquiry

truth Of the statement that they were

The city council had an interesting
meeting on Monday night. Shortly
after Mayor Ryan called the council
to order an ordidance was introduced
by Alderman Vollmer, repeating the
billiard license law. The rules were
suspended, and the vote stood to ! in
favor of repeal, J. H. Bryan voting
with Mr.. Volimer. Alderman Bryan
then introduced the old law, in force
six years ago, forbidding the use in
public places of billiard and pool ia
bles, ten pin, bowling alleys, bagatelle,
or any table wherein games arc per-
mitted to be played in public places.
This also passed by the same vote.
Mayor Ryan, it is understood, will veto
the measures, although TO the question
Of the reporter ~ to what he intended
deing he remarked that he proposed to
investigate the law and then would act
accordingly. The question naturally
arises, If he vetOes the measures and
they then vote to pass them over his
veto the two aldermen would be two
thirds Of the coun il, or does the mayor
have the right to the veto power under
the special charter, there being only
three members.
