Aldermen to Introduce the Saloon
Ordinance Tonight.
They Want TO Pass it Whether the
Council Does or Not-Rsgular
Session Tonight.
NO VOTE On HOSPITAL BONDS

The board Of aldermen will hold its
regular meeting at the city hall to.
night. 1t is understood that the ordi-
nance presented at the recent meeting
Of the council requiring the saloons to
close OF II O'Clock p. m. will be intro
duced by Alderman Greif in the board
OF aldermen for passage. The coun-
oil refused to pass it Monday night,
but it is understood the board Of al
dermen desire to consider it. There
are now only five members of the
board, MessrS. Durrett, Greif, Thur
man, Leigh and Jones, five out of the
original eight.
II the board passes the ordinance it
will not have any effect, however, as
the council would have to pass it also,
and six voted agains it before. 1t
will require two more votes to pass IL
there, and with the vote Of Council
man Voolfolk who was absent unless
some other member bad changed, the
ordinance would still lack one vote.
One of the aldermen said today that
be thought it was good law and
ought to be passed. This is the rea'
son it is going to be brought up.
The board will not act ON the ordi.
nance providing for a vote for the is
suance Of bonds with which TO build q
new city hospital nor on q similar or
dinsnoe providing for q new market
house, as both ordinances had teen
tabled by the boayd in aprevious meet

might jeopardizo the passage Of the

The council passed both ordinances
twice.
Another important matter that wall
come up is the opening OF Caldwell

enough to open q street and will have

In the voting there was one absen-

The result Of the vote was doubtful

ages of these men, Tbygeson and Ra.
