-Councilmen Smith, Priest, Hubbard
and Finley were present at the Thursday
night council meeting. A number of
sidewalk ordinances were read first time
and the application of the Seattle Malt
ing and Brewing Co. for license to do
wholesale and retail liquor business was
read and laid over until the next regular
meeting under the rules. The applica-
tion of d. G.. Burns for a renewal of his
saloon license was also read. Each OF
these applications was accompanied by
the necessary $1,000, and action will be
taken upon them at the meeting June
End. An ordinance repeating the dray
license was passed, and is now in the
hands of the mayor. This ordinance is
the outcome of the agitation over the
license question, and was passed by the
votes of Councilmen Priest, Hubbard
and Finley, Councilman Smith voting
against it. The clerk was authorized to
refund the unearned license money as
soon as the ordinance goes into effect.
But it is freely predicted that the repeal
ing ordinance will be vetoed by the
4 mayor.
