EXCISE SNUB.
Aldermen Quietly Ignore
the Existence Of Mayors
Fagan's New Board


The Board of Aldermen held meeting
last evening and took action on excise
matters just as if Mayor Fagan's new
board was not in existence.
At the proper point in the order OF pusi-
ness. city Clerk O'Donnell was asked II
he had anything to present and ne pre-
sented the applications for licenses and
transfers, of licenses and they were re-
ferred to the proper committee. There
was nothing said about any Excise Conn
mission and one would never think that
there was such a body from the actions
of the Aldermen.
Alderman Wall submitted an amend
ment to an ordinance regulating travel
ling shows. The amendment reads Or
any person who has singing, dancing or
PLAYING of musical Instruments must
secure permission from the Committee on
Exhibitions of the Board of Aldermen
This applies only to places where liquors
are sold 1t may apply to Pohlmann' s.,
Central Hall. Liederkranz Hall, Column
bia Hall, or any resort were liquors are
sold 1t does not apply to clubs.
None of the Aldermen would talk about
the Excise Commission. None Of those
interested in the Excise Commission
would talk about the Aldermen.
The Republicans are guessing today.
