the meeting OF the board of aldermen last
night and asked that the license of
refer ~e4lombitza, who is running
butcher store on, the corner of Arcade and
Lawson streets, be revoked, claiming that
ne continually sold bad meat and that
people IN the neighborhood We're in
danger of being poisoned.
+ He stated that 1000 pounds of meat
unit to eat were coniscated yesterday
In Mr.. Giombitza's shop and that the of.
nehse was not by any means the first
one. Some objection was made to the re-
vocation of Mr.. GNombitza's license with
out giving him a hearing. To this DR..
Ohage said:
L know of about ten butchers in the
city who sell bad meat, but Peter GIom-
b1tza IS by all odds the worst butcher in
the city | do not think that Mr.. Glon-
bitza deserves hearing. I know several
people who have been injured by bad
meat. If this were the first offense. the
case would be different. l also think that
few other butchers ought to be brought
to time but, perhaps, if this license is
revoked 1t will be a fair warning to
them"
The license was revoked

e1ety against taking the location bound
ed by Robert, Jackson, Ninth and Tenth

VULCAN IRON. WORKS LEASE.
The matter Of issuing twenty-five
year lease to the Vulcan Boiler works on
the levee on the West side, with tho
privilege of having the lease extended
another twenty-five when the lease
should expire, was considered and
twenty-five-year straight lease granted.
The assembly passed a ffty-year lease
and the matter Will now have to go back
to that body.
Ex-Ald. Bell was on hand to. champion
the Vulcan Boiler works, stating that
fifty-year leases had been given by the
city before, and quoting instances.
DR.. Schiffmann, who has been fighting
the f1fty-year lease all along, said that
he was opposed to it because if the Eul-
can Boiler works deserved an extension
of it's lease 1t would be time enough to
consider that matter when the twenty
five year lease expired. He stated that
fifty years was too long.
