MUSIC MAY GO UNCHECKED.
MAYOR AND BOARD CANNOT
INTERFERE.
IF Nordstrom's Place is Proved a
Nuisance, License Can be
Revoked.

The City Board of Trustees met in
regular weekly session last night,
Trustees Mckay, Tebbets, Douglas, Do
Ian, Paine, Brown and Devine being
present.
Trustee Tebbets said that the Cor
poration Counsel had given his opinion
that the Mayor or board had no right
to prohibit c.. Nordstrom from having
piano in his dance hall, he having a
regular license, but that if it was a
public nuisance it could be abated, or
the place closed.
w. A. Anderson, as attorney for
Nordstrom, addressed the board, using
the same argument, and asked that the
music be not interfered with
Trustee Paine moved that the report
Of the committe be accepted.
j. D. Moynahan said that he APP
peared for the remonstrants, and said
that the music was only one of the
points Of objection. The moral atmos-
phere Of the place is bad, and the con-
duct of the women of the saloon is
disgusting and against good morals. He
considered that it was the duty of the
board to conserve the morals of the
| community.
A heated discussion arose between
the attorneys as to whether the state
fments of Mr. Moynahan were relevant
to the report and the board decided
that they made a separate issue, and
that if the place is a nuisance there
was another way to get at it.
The report was adopted.
Devine. for the Building Committee,
said the Police Court room is very
badly ventilated. and smells very loud
on these hot days He thought that
an electric fan should be placed there,
which could be done at an expense OF
about $50. He believed it should be
placed there and so recommended.
The sentiment of the board was
against it, however, and the matter
was dropped.
Trustee Brown recommended that the
Capital Gas Company be allowed to put
a pipe over the levee, but he thought II
risky to put one through the levee.
Trustee Devine said the city has to
pump out the water for the company
now. and if a gas we'll is bored there
will be much more to be taken care
of. He thought the committee should
be allowed to put pipe through the
levee. under the supervision Of the Su-
perintendent Of Streets.
The matter went over for a Week
L. ]. Miller was unanimously con-
firmed as special officer.
The petition for a saloon license or
8 w Freeman at 500 K street was re-
ferred to the Chief of Police.
The board then adjourned.
