HouseS

Boarding house keepers operating
without a city license have need to
be careful, as the council has in
structed the city marshal to go after
them rough shod and in any event
either make them pay license or close
their doors.
The matter was brought up by
Root, who stated that he had heard
several complaints against eating
houses which were being conducted
without paying license. The keeper
of a licensed boarding house had
complained that this was going on.
Marshal Hudgens was called upon
to explain and stated that it had been
reported to him early in the year
that Mrs. John Turner was conduct
ing a regular boarding house. He
had prepared a license for her 1t
had been presented but had been re-
fused on the ground that she was
not running a public boarding house.
He also mentioned Mrs. Smith, stat
ing that the same procedure had been
taken in her case. Instructions were

he found these or others running
