have to be put down.
Trustee Devine moved that the own
ers be granted ninety days longer.
Trustee Tebbets said NUMBER OF
sidewalks have been condemned by lae
board. He had found some OF them
were brick walks that were perfectly
safe.
Trustee Bentley said that he objected
to condemning the walks at the Time
as he considered 1t an outrage TO COM
pei people in the eastern portion OF the
city to put down cement walks Wnere
their walks are fairly good
The motion of Devine was carried
Trustee Tebbets moved that the board
rescind it's action in condemning the
sidewalk in front of the Groth prop
erty. at Twelfth and I streets, saying
that there would never be any danger
to any body from it, as 1t is brick, on a
solid foundation.

to grant Mrs. Groth an indefinite time
to construct her sidewalk.
The amendment was carried.

the matter of the alley between Second

structing the alley with vehicles has
paid no attention to the complaints
made to him, and keeps his wagons on
both sides of the alley and in front of
peoples houses. He did not wish to
commence suit, but would prefer to
let the board deal with the matter

NO RECONSIDERATION.
Trustee Tebbets, for the Police Com
mittee, reported that the committee did
not find any instance where any indict-
ment had been had on account of rob
berries alleged to have taken place in
Mrs. Cody's saloon on Second street.
The Clerk read an argument from
Mrs. Cody's lawyers, claiming that. as
no evidence. but statements from IL
responsible parties, had been produced
against the saloon, the license should
not be revoked.
Trustee Tebbets asked Chief of Police
Dwyer If he had evidence Of any rob-
berries in the saloon.
Chief Dwyer said that men had come
10 the station and complained that thew
had been beaten and thrown out of the
saloon, and they also claimed to have
been robbed by toughs there. The
place had bad name and the police
knew that men had been beaten and
thrown out of it several times by
toughs.
Trustee Devine said that such
charges might be made against any
saloon in the city. He did not believe
in keeping people from making an hon
est living. He did not believe in per-
scouting people and thought there
should be evidence introduced to prove
these charges, that was not that of
drunken loafers.
Trustee Dolan asked if there were
other saloons in the city where fire.
quent complaints of robbery had been
made, and Chief Dwyer answered
no, that he had stood it longer from
Mrs. Cody than he would from any one
else. Trustee Dolan asked if there
was any desire for persecution in this
case and Chief Dwyer answered mo"
officer Higgins testified that the
place had bad reputation, and many
complaints had been made about beat
ing and robbery. He had often been
at the station-house when people came
in to complain.
Trustee Devine wanted the record of
facts, and the testimony of reputable
people.
Why, you do not expect to find
reputable characters going into that
place." said Trustee Bentley.
We'll, perhaps not" said Devine.
Officer Fisher had known the reputa-
ton of the saloon since he had been
on the police force It is very bad
There had been frequent robberies at
the Front street saloon, and a man is
now IN the County Jail being held to
answer for robbery in this saloon.
Chief Dwyer had detailed him and Off
Ger Maley to go up to the place one
night when a miner complained that
he had put down a dollar for a drink
and she had refused to give him his
change. She claimed that he had asked
all the hobos to drink.
officer Maley corroborated this. and
said the miner was perfectly sober
when he came to the station to COM
plain.
Trustee Devine contended that this
was no evidence and was all hearsay.
Trustee Brown moved that the board
proceed to business, and the motion
was carried.
Trustee Devine insisted that the 9TH
er side should be heard, and j. D.
Moynahan made long plea for Mrs.
Cody
Trustee Bentley said that Mr.. Moyna-
han overlooked the fact that this was
not court of justice. The reputation
of the saloon was on trial, and the
