THE ORDINANCE COMMITTEE
ANTHONY CARROLL ATTACKED
 CHIEF WRINN LAST NIGHT.

]
 Another Hearing Next Monday Night on the Proposed Ordinance to Estab-
 fish Hack Stand on College Street. l The committee on ordinances last | night held hearings on several matters which have been referred by the court of common council. Among the resolu- | tions for ordinances which have been referred was one for an ordinance to provide for the licensing of dance halls. | For these cheap dances which are held every winter the police think licenses should be required and last night Chief Wrinn oe the police department ap- peared before the committee and spoke in favor of the adoption of such an or d!pance.
 Anthony Carroll was present and took advantage of the opportunity to score the police depart ment and Chief Wrinn, against whom he has pending suit for libel. Chief Wrinn said that the dance hall should be licensed by some responsible and honorable official. MT. Carroll, after the chief had closed, at tempted to demonstrate that the chief of police was not such an official and proceeded along that line until the committee called him to order and re- Quested him to confine himselt to the question under discussion.
 On the resolution for the appointment by the mayor of a commission to com pile the city charter and revise the f.it l6arr1nn Gpnrpp E. Hall and City Attorney Webb. who was a member of the last revision com- mission appeared. Each thought that the commission should be appointed without advertising for bids since they thought that if bids were advertised for and the contract awarded to the lowest bidder the successful bidder might not be able to do the work, since it was impossible to estimate with any degree of accuracy the amount of work re- quired until the work is begun.
 Ex- Councilman Rowland of the Eighth ward appeared and was heard in favor of the passage of the proposed ordinance for the licensing of journey men plumbers. MT. Rowland has been interested in this matter. for some time and has endeavored for several years to secure the adoption of sush an or dinance, which he believes would be of great advantage to journeymen plumb CTS now engaged in the trade and to the city.
 Other resolutions on which hearings were held were those for regulating the disposition of manure from the streets and from the city barns and of other fertilizing material for an ordinance regulating the use of fertilizers and prohibiting the pollution of streams; regulating the advertising of con- tracts; and providing that all city con- tracts provide for the employment of union labor only. Pavement Inspector Peter Bohn and Alderman Corcoran appeared and spoke in favor of the adoption of the last mentioned ordi- nance.
 No one appeared to be heard on the resolution sor an ordinance to abolish all sign posts on Chapel street between Olive and Church streets.
 No action towards recommendation was taken last night by the committee on any of the matters up. A hearing will be held next Monday evening on a resolution for an ordinance to establish a hack stand on College street between Chapel and Elm streets. At that time recommendations will probably be de- cided on for the matters on which hear- ings were held last night.
