ceasss was taken up aud received
a lively discussion. The Clerk read

ished reading the list Mr.. Carmi-
chael raised the question of tie
liability of the Union club of this

cense as any saloon or whiskey
dealer in town. Davis replied by
stating that no liquor of any kind
has ever been sold or any charges
ever made for playing pool or bill
liards. Smith replied to him,
stating in the most positive man
ner that he had been in the club
room with a friend who bought
liquor and paid money for it. The

close by the appointment of a
committee whose duty it shall be
to investigate the matter of the
liability of the club and report at

standing scrip is redeemed and
the city put on cash basis. The
formal talk of the members indi-
Gated a feeling in favor IF adopt
ing the Tampa plan. City attor-
ney Allr.d gave it as his opinion
that such certificates could be le-
gally issued under Our present
charter. On motion of Ber amin
the matter was referred to the Fl.
nance committee with instructions
to report at next meeting.
