SALOONS in CHICAGO

Chicago, March 6.-By a vote Of 40 to
20, the city council last night adopted
the ordinance fixing the saloon license
at $1,000 year. When the vote was
announced Mayor Dunno said:
II shall sign the ordinance just as
soon as it is presented to me. It is as
good as law right now.
This vote of the council adds $780,
900 to the annual revenue of the city
and insures the increase in the police
force Of 1000 new men. Chief Of Po-
lice Collins says he will now suppress
Chicago s crime.
Six aldermen who were either COM
mitted to the low license cause or had
voted for the low figure at the former
meeting stepped over the line at the
with the high license faction. Four
votes more than enough were cast for
high license.
