Board Hears -
Complaints
Of Violations
Fire and Police Commissioners Say
Complaining Persons Should Go to
Prosecuting Officer.

The Board Of Fire ard Police commits
sioners received a communication at the
meeting Tuesday from the ~Anti-Saloon
league OF Dougla county which asserted
that gambling rooms were running at diff
ferent places within the city and that the
s o'clock closing law which governs the
saloons was being violated by the Rome
and Henshaw bars and other saloons.
TIL communication asserts that three
roulette tables and a Rlondike game has
been conducted over the Budweiser saloon
at 1903 Douglas street for thirty days by
w. E. Nesselhous and Henry Sherman. II
also alleges that Richard S. Berlin has been
conducting a gambling house at the Wind
scr hotel for thirty days by operating a
roulette table, a game Of faro and that
Frank Sampson has been operating a
gambling resort in the top floor of the
Murray hotel at rare intervals.
The communication asserted that evil
dsnce OF other violations OF the O'Clock
law could be furnished.
The board does not Consider Il their duty
to take evidence against such violations
and believes that II the persons who made
these complaints have sufficient evidence,
that Il is their duty to swear to a com
plant and cause the arrest OF the guilty
persons.
The board indicated II IL a body created
to act on the reports charging officers with
neglect OF duty. Commissioner Hunter
made a motion that action on the communl-
cation be deferred until the legal status
Of the situation was Investigated.
In explaining his cause for action he
said, This board 10 not a court TO receive
evidence Of law violations. but to receivs
evidence of neglect OF duty Of the officers
and members Of the police and fire teraTtr
ment. 1 Rave received complaints OF this
character by telephone. but have advised
the person TO appear before the city or
county attorney and swear to a complaint
thus causing a warrant for their arrest to
be issued. I have offered to accompany
them, but they fail to appear. We, as a
board. have no jurisdiction to hunt or re-
ceive evidence of this character, II l under
stand the avs correctly, and 1 think that
these persons should make their COM
plants elsewhere. II 1 find that the COM
plants are made to the officers OF the
police department and that they neglect
to do their duty, / would recommend their
discharge, but the complainants do not
pursue this course" The other MEMBERS
Of the board acquiesced in his opinion.

Up to date the Board of Education has
been unable to dispose of the proposed
issue Of $1,000 refundIng bonds and the
$57.OO0 OF bonds which matured several
months ago, remaining in a local bank to
which the school district Is paying inter-
est at the rate Of 5 per cent. The present
situation results from the failure of the
Board Of Education to make a provision
for taking care Of the successive bond is
sues as they fell due.
At a special meeting Of the board Mon
day night the offer of NJ. W. Halsey &
Co. Of Chicago for the proposed issue Of
$1,000 r%efundlng bonds was rejected. The
Chicago firm required that the school dis
trict should levy each year a tax which
would bring in one-tenth Of the amount
of the bond issue and accrued interest.
Tfis meant that there would have to be
obtained by levy of a tax about 5000 each
year in addition to S2,s0O, the interest on
the bonds. The 5000 levied each year
would have to remain in some bank until
the bonds matured at the expiration Of
ten years without drawing any interest,
as there is no provision whereby the dis
trict could put this money out on interest.
Failing TO secure better terms from the
Chicago firm, the board, It is said, will
endeavor to place the bonds with Local
parties.

depressed him that he became temporarily
insane. He was known all through west

Present at the meeting were a number
Of property owners who rave year after

naturally expressed themselves as anxious
that something be done to avoid this dam

The club also decided to have new pc

prepared to conform with what City Solicit
tor Kimball says is the law on the subject
and when the requisite number Of slgners
is secured, these will be filed with the
county supervisors as we'll as with the city

The consenus Of opinion as expressed at
the meeting was that the fault by the
special committee Of which Councilman
Morgan was chairman, with the former
petition, was a mere bubble ami solely for
the purpose Of shelving the proposition.
The proposition, however, will not be per
mitted to die a natural death, but will be
kept a live issue as the property owners
in attendance at last nights meeting are
determined to protect their property II pos
sible.
There was considerable talk yesterday
among owners OF property along and In
the immediate vicinity OF Indian creek OF
forming an organization and employing
legal help to carry on the fight for the
diversion of the water of the creek. A
number Of interested property owners ex-
pressed their willingness to contribute to-
