 TILT ABoUT LICENSE.
 For several meetings petitions have been coming in praying for a reduction of license. There was good natured tilt over this question last night.
 J. B. Mudd & Go. presented a petition asking that the license on stock broker age establishment be reduced from $50d to $1O0 The question was asked if any other firm had paid this license.
 Chairman Moore explained that one firm had paid it, but as result a suit was now pending against the city.
 A motion to reduce the lsense was carried, notwithstanding that the com mittee to which the petition had been referred refused to make a reconanenda- tion.
 A petition was also received from H. Barnard, the proprietor of the whole sale liquor house, in regard to the license of beer, on which the committee refused to make a recommendatio tion-
 MT. Barnard appeared before the coun- cil and said that he sold very little beer, mol moro than $50 worth during the entire year, and this was all sold in bottles. He claimed that it was un- just to charge him license when he sold no beer in kegs.
 Alderman MoCar;fn spoke in favor of Mir BaTnard's peation and compared the case to that which came up some time ago, when an attempt was made to license merchants for procuring powder for some of their customers. Mr. Me- Car,tin brought both Aldermen Rainbow and Hentsehel to their feet by saying that all saloons sold beer in the lceg and were not made to buy license. "Eow do you know" asked Alderman Hentschel.
 q can speak for myself and I do not. was the response of Alderman Ram bow.
 "You are a good cne," then retorted MT. McCartn with a laugh. Mr. Barnard then said if either Alder man Rainbow or Hentschel paid beer license he would be perfectly willing to pay it
 There was no response from MT. Ram bow and the latter said he had a Tigahi ito ssll beer under a retail liquor license. The petition was referred to the finance and miscellaneous committees SEWER QUESTION AGAIN. Alderman Pearce. as chairman of the police and sanitation committee, agadr brought up the Eighth alley sewer ques' ton. He submitted a bid from c. M Burkalter & Co.,, to build the sewer fol | $S,1S7.SO. He explained that the ordd nance authorizing the work had already been adopted and bids had already beer received under a previous advertisement They were rejected because none cams under the estimate of $8,500. Alderman McCartin said 1t would COS at least s1,OOO on $1,2O0 in excess of th' bid to put in the sewer and he did no think the city was in a condition to beai dts pant of the expense.
 | Tn answering this Alderman Pearc said he thought the health of the peo ple in the vicinity of where the sewe was projected was more to be consider | ed than the cost. He was in favor O
 acting at once. The recommendation of the committee was concurred in.
 Before the vote was taken Alderman Gray attempted to speak, but was rule, out of order as a motion was pending
 He voted in the affirmative, and thel made motion to reconsider the vote His motion was seconded by Alderman this brought up 8 question of parlia mentary law. MT. Gray held that tn way the second voted had no vital bear ing. Chairman Moore ruled that it did and Alderman Gray appealed from tn ruling of the chair.
 The chairman then said he would pu the motion, but before he could do B there was a motion to lay MT. Gray motion on the table, which was carried This settled the question.
