administration. He took a decidedly ad-

OF all the laws, particularly in regard To
the selling Of liquor and gambling and
promised to follow the example set by
Omaha curtailing the selling OF liquor by
drug stores. During the year he reduced
the debt $2S 500, and will withdraw $500 in
few months. Last year all public places
OF gambling were out but gambling has
been carried on at other places quietly. He
asked that the city ordinances be compiled
and, in conclusion, after discussing non
enforcement OF the laws, said: MY policy
during the coming year will be more ag-
gressve; noncompliance with the orders
will be followed up by strenuous measures,
and in that way try and enforce an i'm
proved condition.
