Chicago Council Passes Ordinance
Regulating Hotels.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-The Chicago city
council passed the ordinance for ncen-
sing and regulation of hotels last night
although the corporation counsePs
office has issued opinions in which the
validity of such a law has been held
doubtful
Only four negative votes were cast.
Originally the measure was intended
for the regulation of such hotels as
were closed by police raids several
months ago in the Loop district, but
aldermen supporting the measure told
the council that there was necessity for
such regulation in the case of the bet
ter class hotels.
