LOST HIS LICENSE
Board Of Aldermen Close
Up Adolph Bender's Dis
reputable Saloon.
NEW BUILDING ORDINANCE
1t Fixes No Fire Limits and Regu-
lates the Erection Of All
Structures.

The Aldermen met last night and by a
unanimous vote revoked the license OF
Adolph Bender, who kept a saloon at
Grove and Seventh streets.
A few weeks ago a twelve-year-old
Polish girl was criminally in
Bender's place by two men. The evidence
given in the police court showed that
Bender not only saw the assault, but
made absolutely no effort to prevent it.
Chief of Police Murphy submitted the
case to the Aldermen, and recommended
that Bender's license be revoked. The
Excise Committee gave Bender a hearing
and subsequent concluded that he mad
been conducting his place of business in
a manner that decent men could not
countenance. 1t will be impossible for
Bender to procure a license again within
two years..

ing the month of December he mad IN
spected 29S scales, us weights ana 255
measures; had found sixteen balance
scales unevenly balanced, which he SAD.
iusted. tWenty-one spring scales out of
order and forty-eight weights, some OF
which were from 1-16 to two ounces light.

mission to issue permits for the erection

street; to Thomas Gately for a one-story
frame stable, Is to 80 feet. 10 feet high,

and the last two not granted.
The new ordinance regulating the erec-
ton of frame buildings was taken up Tor
final passage, but on motion of Alderman

No permission is.to be granted in any
case to erect a building unless application
is first made to the Board and authority
is given the Building Inspector to grant

made effective. The ordinance differs from
the enc regulating the erection OF frame
buildings now in force in that 1t deslg-
mates the territory IN winch the efectlon
is prohibited. .
A remonstrance against the granting of
a permit for the erection of a one-story
frame building to be used as a black
smith shop at No. 709 Ocean avenue was
received from the taxpayers and residents
.cf that neighborhood. 1t had no effect,
being referred to the Committee on Laws
Ordinances, who subsequently report
ed in favor of authorizing the Building
Inspector toNissue a permit for the cree
ton of the building. A resolution to that
effect was adopted.
