promise that Mayor Boyd would take
care" Of Mr.. Handlcy after the latter
Is removed. that he would recommend
him for a 500 a month position in
the water department. Mr.. Handley's
friends say ne would accept no such
obligation from the mayor, that after
the criticism Of him by the mayor he
would step down and out before he
would accept any courtesy.
Mayor Boyd has already held one
conference with the democratic coun-
cilmen to discuss the matter of the
changes and the result Of that confer
ence is guessed from the fact that
Mayor Boyd has since made his dec

LAW
FOR SALOONS

order to all saloonkeepers that here
after they will be expected to keep
the blinds of their establishments
drawn on Sunday, and the front door
closed, in order that passersby can
not see inside the saloons, and the
proprietor should also be informed
that the collection of idlers in front
of saloons on Sunday is also objec-
tionable. The majority of the saloon
keepers Of Spokane. I believe. have no
desire to outrage the feelings of
church-going people, and will no
doubt cheerfully comply with these
regulations, and the few saloonkeep-
ers who have no such regard for the
feelings of others should be made to
comply. Respectfully yours.
l.. F. BOYD, Mayor.
Upon receipt of Mayor Boyd's order
Police Commissioner H. c. Root i'm
mediately sent a communication to
Chief Woydt instructing him to see
that the order is carried out.
