the opinion that such a course would be
wrong and unjust, and Drinkhouse
added that even If the City Attorney
did decide that policemen were not en-
titled to trial he would ignore such an
opinion and give every man in the de-
partment the right to be heard in his
own defense. Hutton's report was read
into the record, however, but it is not
probable that the City Attorney will be
asked for advice, unless upon the appli-
cation of Hutton, acting alone and un-
supported.

whether they should be allowed to re-
tain their liquor licenses. All of the
big resorts will be first visited and
then the little ones will come in for
inspection. From remarks made bv
the commission it is apparent that the
raid on this class of resorts is about
to begin.
