Several days ago the excise board rec
omended to the Commissioners that steps
be taken to compel the prosecution of
all cases Of alleged violations of the

has no authority to revoke Sd
loon license except when the saloonkeep-
err has been convicted in the Police Court
for two separate violations of the excise
laws. The board contends that 1t is i'm
possible to secure these two convictions

to forfeit their collateral.
The Commissioners have issued the
following order affecting excise cases
before the Police Court: That the assist

prosecution Of cases in the Police Court
be instructed. through the corporation
ment every case brought before him.
