SALOONS AND POLICE.

Municipal Lawmakers Wrestle With
This Problem for Hours.
The committee of one hundred intrus:ed
with the raining of a charter labored for
two hours ana half last night over the
Police Department and the retail liquor
traffic.
The Police Commissioners were fixed at
four in number, TO be appointed by the
Mayor with term of four years service
during which and for one year thereafter
they shall be ineligible for any political
office.
The number of police officers was fixed
a. a ratio of one TO every go inha bitants.
The word detective was stricken out
and inspector of Police" substituted
therefor.
Chapter II, which is intended to regu-
late the saloon business, resolved itself
into debati issue, In which the COM
m1ttee traversed all OF the many evils
arising from the presence of Objectionable
places where liquors are sold under the
present law.
To remedy this it is intended to en-
body n the proposed charter the right of
at least 60 per cent of the propery-owne
on tie block the right TO object to a
saloon or saloons on the block, ire
spective Of the action OF the Police Com
missioners.
The de bate on this question took wide
range, with diversified ideas as how best
to regulate the traffic without affec1in the
standing OF the reputab saloons in the
city.
AS balm for the evil the whole subject
matter was referred 10 the sub committee
to be straightened out for tomorrow eve
ning's session.
Registrar Hinton sent in a comm unica
ton n which he stated that Deca m Der 6

LINCOLN'S MONUMENT.
The Project Is Likely to Prosper i
Wise Hands.

The trustees for the Lincoln Monument
League met Yesterday afternoon in the
office of the Mayor for the purpose OF or
gan zing the board. There were present:
Mayor Phelan, Horace Davis, NJ. NJ. Es-
tee. Colonel G. Mason Kinne and W. W.
Stone.
Mr.. E tee explained in full the scope of
the board, asserting that the money de-
posted with the trustees by The league
was reserve fund, placed under the II bso-
lutte control of the trustees. On motion of
MIR. Davis, Hon. James D. PheIan was
elected president OF The board and w. w.
Stone secretary.
1t was decided to deposit $1,000 in the
HiDernia Bank on permanent deposit; +;
also $1,000 in The Union Savings. Mr..
Phelan thought it best Io>publlsh the fact
that hereafter any one wishing to con-
tribute any considerable sum should do
sc by remittance by check 10 the Bank OF
California.
Some discussion WAS had as to the ad.
visa bility of asking for contributions from
citizens, but tue general opinion seemed
10 be that it would be advlsab bic to make
no formal canvass untii Lincoln day,
whicn comes on February ~ of next wear.
The league has word from fifteen States
of the Union promising 10 cooperate,
hence it Is believed that at that time COL
lectors would find people ready 10 con-
tIibute literally.
