t1On ordering the closing OF all nquOr
saloons in the city on election day between
the hours of a. m. and 7p. m. The mo-
tion was seconded by Alderman Barber.
Alderman Keene suggested that the Mayor
be asked to place policeman at drug
stores on that day. He had been informed
that on days when the saloons were closed
the drug stores received a good deal of
that kind OF trade. He thought the law
should be enforced against them as well as
the liquor dealers. One reason why he
desired the Mayor to be present at the
meeting was that the members of the
Board might talk with him about that mat
ter. Alderman Barber thought statutory
law should govern the closing OF saloons
on such days. The resolution then passed
by unanimous vote. ~

Council was then taken up. A resolution
