Il. u. Hitchcock appeared before
the cornell and presented the request
of t.e wner of billiard halls, in
whicA they wanted the privilege Of
keel.as their. places of business open
%eyen,ass during the week of the corn
palace until a later hour than IL
o'clock. They stated through their
attorney that when the saloons close
at IL O'Clock there are a lot of men
thrown on the street who may de-
Size to remain up later and that the
billiard halls will afford a place for
Y them and those who will come in on
the later trains in the night. The re-
quest was not acted upon, as the
council did not know how the ordi-
nance could be violated. 1t was sug-
gest@l that the ordinance might be
held in allegiance during the week,
but it was not backed up very strong.
.. Y. Cassem appeared before the
board on the question of a roadway
out TO Graceland cemetery. He
stated that at the present time there
was no public roadway to the
terry, and it had been suggested that
Wisconsin street be opened up Off
ciallly as the proper way to reach it,
and u do so the road would have to
pass through the northeast quarter
of his land. Mr.. Cassem stated that
he was DESTROYS of seeing a roadway
out to the cemetery and that he
would make the proposition to the
council that If the roadway would be
converted into a boulevard, graded
up. and covered with gravel where it
needed, that he would donate to the
city a strip of ground through his
land Is feet wide, which would
tamount to four acres. This matter
has been up before the council be-
fore, but nothing of an authoritative
character has ever been presented by
MIR. Cassem. Mayor Hitchcock spoke
of the necessity of the read, and
stated to Mr.. Cassem that the coun-
Gil would investigate the proposition
at once.
