It necessary to have lighted lamp
unless the wheels were ridden on the
sidewalks.
Mr.. Dix did not agree with the presi-
dent and said 1t was just as necessary
to have lighted lamps on wheels rid
den on the street as on the sidewalks.
On the suspension of the rules the vote
stood 6 to 2, Messrs. Arosin and Rear
don voting no. The ordinance was
passed by like vote, Mr.. Arosin eX-
planning that he would not vote for the
ordinance which required lighted lamps
to be carried on wheels ridden on the
streets. Mr.. Reardon voted mo- for
the reason that he was opposed to
wheelmen being allowed to ride on any
sidewalk in the city. The ordinance
will go to the mayor today for his
signature and after its publication will
be in force.

zenship league to the approval of the
application Of A. Weinholzer for a sa-
loon was read by the clerk. The OBJ
jectors alleged that the ap-
o'clock at night and on Sundays during
the past year. That during the past
two months he had sold liquor in rooms
in the building adjoining the building
at AS WabaSha street, for which place
he had license. That since May I
he had been engaged in selling liquor
at the saloon without any license, the
same having expired on that date.
That for several months past the place
had been maintained in connection
with a concert hall and that the hall
and adjoining premises had been the
resort Of disreputable females. Further
that the applicant was an unfit person
to conduct a saloon.
Mr.. Reardon moved that the appli-
cation be referred back to the COM
mittee on license. together with the
protest and the matter be investigated
And it, said Mr.. Reardon, ''the pro-
test is well founded the thing is pretty
hard on the police department" Mr..
Doty, attorney for the3 league, eX-
planned that he had been at consider
able expense to secure the attendance
of witness and it was no more than
fair that they be heard at this time.
Mr.. Kirke thought it would be waste
of time, and as there was deal OF
business to be transacted the commit
tee on license could be directed to hear
the evidence and report to the as
sembly a the next meeting. The mo-
ton was carried as was also a similar
one to have the protest against the
application of A. Swanberg for a.
saloon license at 800 Payne avenue
Mr.. Doty explained there was no evil
dence to be heard in this case. Swan
berg had been fined $25 in the police
court for allowing minors to visit his
saloon. Under the law this was suf-
ficient to prevent the applicant from
having a license Mr.. Rear0on said
the applicant desired to be heard and
the committee could report at the same
time as it did on the Weinholzer case.

cents for each weight or measure, was
reported for passage by the COMMITTEES

jected and said the job paid little
enough now at five cents. Mr.. Thomp-
ished as it was simply taking so much
out Of the pockets of merchants of the
city. Mr.. Daily sealed the controversy
by having the ordinance referred back
to the committee. AS the duties of the
sealer of weights and measures expires
