ness Attended To

The police commissioners met at 10:S
o'clock with the mayor presiding and al
Of the members present. Chief Glass
was also in attendance as usual. Pre-
vious to the regular meeting there was
a long conference in the mayors private
office, presumably on the advisability OF
making certain exceptions to the rule
forbidding the wearing of regular num-
bered stars by any others than regular
members of the police force. Super
visor Wirsohing and Horticultural Com
missioner Scott appeared before the con-
ference to try to secure a star for
Fruit Inspector George Compere, but
they evidently did not meet with much
success, from their rather testy manner
rs they left the room.
On the favorable report of the chief,
the saloon license of No. 110 North Ala
media street, was transferred from C. J..
Flynn to Niels Hansen. The saloon IL
cense of Nos. 103 and los South Los
Angeles street was transferred from
Pervier & Harris to Joseph Belohlavek.
Owing to legal complications, action
on the application of Fred Hoppe for a
transfer of the saloon license for No.
1O1 South Broadway from C. E. Lewis
to himself was deferred until the par
ties interested settle their dispute
among themselves.
Commissioner Forman moved that 1t
is the sense of the board that in case
saloon license is revoked on account of
the notorious character of the resort,
that no application for new license for
r,1o will ha NJ
ninety days time.
Commissioner Wyman supported Mr.
Forman's motion, but Mayor Snyder,
with Commissioners Preuss and McLain,
thought that the commission had intel
ligence to deal with Individual cases as
they came up, and that if such a rule
: was adopted ii would work a hardship
on property holders, who would be kept
out of their rents for that length of
time. A vote was taken, and The mo-
ton was defeated by a vote of to 2.
j. H. Anderson, one of the proprietors
of the Elite saloon, the license for which
was revoked at the last meeting of the
commission, appeared before the board
and asked for hearing in the matter.
He said that he had been mistaken in
his estimate of his partner, O'Brien,
who had allowed an undesirable class
of men to hang about the place, and
Cured, and the whole burden fell on
him. He said that he had conducted the
Eintracht saloon for years, and never
had any trouble, and further. that he
could not have prevented the shooting
affray which took place in the saloon.
He said that he wished to make new
application, and asked the favorable
consideration of the board.
Anderson was told to make a new
application and submit the same.
The demands of Officers John Steph-
ems, H. c. Mckenzie and A. B. Bates
were referred to the city attorney for
an opinion as to whether the board was
compelled to pay them. Commissioner
McLain thought 1t was time to call a
halt in this matter, and find out just
where they stood, for at the present rate
1t looked as though the entire force
might get on the retired list
The following applications for saloon
licenses were referred to the chief for
investigations: Charles Gollmer, No. 233
East First street; Frank Horth, No GIG
South Broadway; B. ]. Gardiner, No III
West Third street; A. Ducas, No. 329
North Main street.
The positions of c. V. Miller and A. T.
Carey asking that they be issued a regu-
lar numbered police star by the police
commissioner, which petitions We're ap-
proved by the council, were taken up.
ana commissioner FOrman offered the
following motion, which passed:
That the clerk be directed to reply to
the communication from the honorable
city council asking this board to fur
nish Andrew T. Carey, superintendent
Of parks, with a numbered police star.
In order that he may get free transpor-
tation over the street railways in this
city, and respectfully inform them that
the board of police commissioners can
w nr live
city attorney also informs us that there
Is none that would authorize or justify
them in attempting to furnish free
transportation over the street railways
OF this city to the officers or employees
of any other department.
Commissioner Forman said that this
motion would cover all similar cases
and he thought that it should settle the
matter.
communication was then read from
License Inspector Gottschalk and Ii
cense Collector Beebe, asking that they
be given regularly numbered police
stars. is they were necessary in the
proper discharge of their duties. Tax
Collector Gish and Collector Beebe ap-
> peared and argued in favor of the Pc
tition. The commission however de-
clined to recede from its position. though
on motion the city attorney was asked
to furnish written opinion on the sub.
ject
