When the application of the license
of MIR. Christian Dammeyer came up
it was rejected owing to the fact that
one OF the signers was considered out
of the vicinity, and Mr.. Samuel Jones
was substituted, and the vote by which
the application was rejected was re-
considered and the license granted.
When the application for the renewal
of the license of Isaac HohbeTger
came up it brought about quite an
animated discussion from the fact that
officer w. T. Brooks was also an ap-
plicant for the same place. Mr.. Hoh-
berger contended that he had n prior
right to the place from his hold-over
lease. Robert Moss represented Mr..
| Brooks and James II. Brashaars repre-
sented Mr.. Hohberger, who contended
| that Mr.. Hohberger, under his lease,
could not be elected under six months
notice. Mr.. Moss contended that this
was only matter of opinion, and
would be decided by litigation, and
appealed to the Counsellor for his
| views in the matter.
The Counsellor said this was ques-
| tion that he would not care to give
a legal opinion on at so short a notice,
| and spoke Mt some length in explana-
| ton of his stand. The Mayor called
| for yea aud nay vote, which resulted
lin it's rejection of the license. Mr..
| Moss thereupon asked to Withdraw the
4 ~ nrAnlxc xxyh foh
/ was granted. This will put Mr..
/ Hohberger out of business until the
/ Court decides the legality of the ten
ancy under Mr.. Hohberger's lease.
When the granting of the license to
Mr.. Charles III. Shearman came up,
i the question of citizenship was ques-
toned. Mr.. Frank III. Stockett ad-
dressed the Board in behalf of the
applicant at some length, and con-
tended that it was not a question OF
| citizenship of the United States, but
of Maryland. Mr.. Stockett contended
that be was a citizen of good char
acter, and had complied with all the
law required, and there was no reason
| why he should not be granted Ii
| cense.
Counsellor Riley differed with Mr..
| Stockett in bis views and quoted al
| some length on what constituted a
| citizen of the United States and OF
the State of Maryland. The applica-
tion was rejected upon a yea and nay
vote. This is said to have been one OF
the mo t notorious saloons in the city
and is frequented by low class OF
negroes and whites, and was nuis-
ance to the neighborhood.
Mr.. G.. w. Martin, Of the firm OF
G. w. Martin Company, was before
the Board with reference to renting
fish stalls in the fish market. The
question arose upon the right of the
market master selling fish stalls oc-
cupied by Mr.. Martin without notify
ing him of the sale. Mr.. Martin oc.
cupied and rented two stalls and one
was sold to another party which Mr.
Martin refused to vacate. On motion
OF Alderman Baer the matter was re-
ferred the market house committee tC
report at the next meeting of tbs
Board.
The petition or property holders d
Market street, asking that the city pay
the costs of paving the additional fee
of the pavement occasioned by the re
setting Of curb and improvement o
said street, was rejected.
Building permits were granted to c
w. Martin for a porch on Primes
George street, and to A. w. Phillips
for repairs to porch to property 70
John i. Phillips on West street.
Mayor Douw moved that the chair
man of the street committee confe
with Mr.. Crosby and ask him to NEE
at his convenience the City Council
to confer on the grades of Charlie
and Conduit streets, which was adopt
ed.
The Mayor called up the matter 0
grading Compromise street. Alderman
Munroe moved that the street com
mittee have the engineer to run grad
on co'rv promise street 60 The bridge
which was adopted.
