AhII-RfE LUNCH
ORDINANCE is DEAD
Measure Is Withdrawn on Mo.
ton and Aid. Huber Ex
presses DispIeasure

Aid. Hubers ordinance abolishing
Tree lunches in saloons, which has met
with such decided opposition, was kill
ed at the meeting of the board of
aldermen last night, without even a
vote being taken On if. Mr.. Huber,
alter "a canvass of the aldermen, real
lied that it would be useless to cham
pion the ordinance any longer, and
asked Aid. Bantz to move to have it
withdrawn
The whole transaction was done SO
quickly and SO quietly that but few
present at the meeting aside from the
aldermen themselves knew what had
happened. Aid. Huber, as presiding
officer of the board, announced the mo-
ton carried, and the attempt to do
away by law with free lunches in sa-
looms was thing of the past.
i, The ordinance was introduced by
aid. Huber, at the request OF certain
Saloonkeepers who are not in favor of
the free lunch, but who contend that
they must serve it So long as their
competitors do SO. Several saloon
keepers appeared before the committee
to which the ordinance had been re-
ferred and spoken in favor of its pass
age, but the aldermen who opposed
the ordinance say that many other
sadoonkeepers were in favor of the
lunch and an Investigation disclosed
the fact that there was much opposi-
ton to the ordinance.
Following the meeting last night
Aid. Huber declared the ordinance had
been killed at the instance of the
brewers, and the longer the Fourth
ward member talked of his ordinance
and the effective manner in which it
had been killed by his colleagues, the
more angry he came.
Mr.. Huber took occasion to let other
aldermen know that he was not at
all pleased with the part they had
taken in killing the ordinance.
Ever since 1 introduced this ordi-
nance the press Of the city has charged
me with having a personal interest in
It's passage said Mr.. Huber. Il want
to say that l had no personal interest
in the ordinance. So far as I am
concerned 1 don't care how many sa-
looms serve free lunch. 1 have not
served one in my place for more than
eight years and do not propose to.
but I don't care what the others do.

BIDS FOR SEWERS ARE
OPENED BY BOARD

Bids for constructing a sewer along
Aurora avenue, between Victoria and
Grotto streets, were opened yesterday
by the board of public works p T.
Ryan asked s2,773;; Chris Johnson
wanted S2,838.S0, and John Lind de-
manded $3,195.
But the city engineer had estimated
that the sewer should cost 81, 500.
Thinking the bids were excessive, the
board took the matter under considera-
ton. The engineer will be consulted
before any award is made.
Favorable reports were voted upon
proposals to build a sewer intersecting
Palace, Victoria, James and Milton
streets; a sewer along ST. Clair street
from Milton to Victoria street; a sewer
along Watson avenue from View to
Victoria street.
The board will take under considera-
ton the plans for sewers along Arbor
street from Palace to Jefferson street;
along Earl street from Sims to Case
street; and along Dearborn street, on

EXCHANGE LOTS TO
ENLARGE FAIRGROUNDS
Aldermen Vote to Trade Five on La
fond Street for Five on Thomas

The board of aldermen last night
voted to exchange five lots owned by
the city Oh Lafond street, between
Marion and Gaultier, the object of the
exchange being to secure a larger plat
for the Como avenue public play

exchange. which was urged upon the
board by Arthur Leland, who superin-
tended the construction of the play
grounds and who was representing the
Fairgrounds committees of the Com
mercial club and the Civic league
The property owned by the city was
admitted to be worth more on the mar
kat since it had the advantage Of grad
ed streets and sewerage, but by trad
ing it was argued that the Fairgrounds
would be divided only by a street,
where they are now divided by more
than a block.
