complaint from the Charles Schnei-

with the Commissioners relative to the
nuisance caused by persons who frequent
a pOolroom on Fourth Street, between

ant Moore. OF the Sixth precinct, to whom
it was referred, stated: This poolroom
has been troublesome to me- and l am sure
il must have been a nuisance to the resi-
dents in the vicinity. Frequent arrests
have been made in and about the place for
disorderly conduct during the past sin
months.
Some enquiries among the neighbors
were made a few months ago, as to what
they knew of this place, in the hope of Sc
curing sufficient evidence to proceed against
the proprietors for keeping a disorderly
house, but We were unable to secure the
proof necessary to apply for a warrant.

Complaint i again uetalIeu an OulCeT 10 lU-
