Council, City.
Dear Sirs-YOur Committee begs
leave to report as follows:
Petition of Mr.. Max Mann relative
to move on ordinance-After looking
into the matter thoroughly, we do not
find solution of the trouble COM
planned of, but would suggest that the
Mayor instruct the Marshal to give
the matter his attention.
Relativeto ordinance proposed regu-
lating saloons-Owing to passage OF
a State law regulating the matter, and
also, the proximity OF saloons over
which we have no control, we thought
it best not to report this ordinance
favorably.
Your Committee respectfully asks
that the above report be received and
