By the vote of every member present,
Tho city council last evening revoked
the license OF the California Wine COM
many and the Broughton Bar, doing
business at 146 west Second South. Co
ing further, 1t was resolved that no
ncr,nission be given for a license at the
Mace for q period of at least six
months. The action was taken because
OF the complaint made by the chief of
no]ice that liquor had been sold at the
bar on Sunday, and the two officers
who had raided the place testified be-
fore the council last night, after which
the drastic measures We're adopted
1t developed at the hearing that only
one license had been taken out for the
Wholesale house and the retail next
door, both being run In the name OF Ike
Wolf. In this way the city was being
beaten to the amount of $500 year. as
the retail license was made TO carry
The wholesale business
Councilman Stewart, chairman Of the
license committee, wanted the Brough-
ton bar stopped from doing further
business, but was of the opinion that
Mr.. Wolf was an innocent party and
should not be severely dealt With. 9th
el members, however, We're not of ike
mind and the councilman from the
Fourth had to give way.
MI. Hall was in favor of resembling
the license, but contended that it would
not be the proper thing to place o.
building under the proposed ban MI.
Martin took the stand that landlords
should be given to understand that II
they rented their premises to men VINO
persisted in breaking the law, the own
q, would have TO suffer part OF the con-
SEQUENCES In this way, he thought,
more care would be exercised all
around and saloons with questionable
reputations could better be kept under
control. The six months restriction
was then passed, with Mr.. Hall voting
in the negative.
McGINrY'S PLEA.
The council was petitioned by the
..American'' party committee BY It's
chairman, j. Z. sMcGlnty, to pay out IT
the public funds the men appointed

? ~ funds The finance committee will
decide the matter.
No action was taken on the proposal
to take out of the hands of the contrac-
tors the wooden pipe line in connection
with the intercepting sewer, 1t being
contended that the Campbell Construc-
ton company Is engaged In repairing
the leakages with a view Of making kin, the
Inc serviceable in the near future. The
matter went over for. week. There
was IL lively tilt between MI. ferii-
strom and Mr.. Ferry, the latter saying
that Chairman Mcmillan of the board
OF public works had assured him that
everything at the pipe line was in or
der, to which Mr.. Fernstrom MADE an
swers as follows:
~ don't want to work hardship up
on the contractor. Since this resolu-
tion was introduced he has shown signs
of life, and is doing something, pu'
things don't look right yet to me- The
contractor had the nerve to tell the
board Of works last week that he didn't
know there was any need to hurry
when.the city has been waiting Tor the
