COMMISSION DIVIDED
OVER BRINK PERMIT
ANDREWS VOTE WILL DECIDE
REQUEST FOR LICENSE
Application for Renewal of Liquor
Privileges Taken Away from
Sadderock TO Be Acted
On Monday

The application of John Brink for a
renewal Of his restaurant liquor per
init for the SaddleroCk restaurant
threatens to divide the police commits
sion as nearly as five men can be dI-
Vided. Two of the commissioners,
Trask and Graham, are said to be fa-
Vorable to giving Brink another per-
nit, while Topham and Mayor Alex
ander are vigorously opposed 10 it.
Commissioner Andrews will cast the
deciding vote on the matter and his
inclination is to deny the request.
Brinks permit was revoked by the
police commission october IS on
charges preferred by Rev. d. NJ. Can
dier and others The evidence showed
that liquor had been served without
meals and that unseemly conduct pre-
vailed in the dining room on the sec
ond floor The evidence also estab-
lished the fact that Mr.. Brink was not
personally responsible, as he was at
home at the time when the violations
of the law occurred.
The police commission in inficting
punishment for violation of law, has
no middle course to pursue. The char
ter requires that when the holder of
a liquor permit or any Of his agents
violate the law the commission must
either revoke the permit or do moth
ing at all about it. As it was plainly
established that the law had been vio-
lated there was nothing for the COM
mission to do but revoke the permit.
But Commissioners Tras1 and Gra-
ham believe Brink has been sufficiently
punished by practical suspension Of
the permit for several weeks
The decision will rest with Commis
sioner Andrews and it is believed he
will vote with the mayor and Commis-
sioner Topham at the session next
Monday night.

1T is true" said Miss Simondas.
that Russia is making ready for war
with Japan, and there is every indica-
tion of its preparation throughout the
empire. Her defeat in the last war
was attributed by Russians to their
soldiers lack of understanding and
sympathy with the conflict, and the
fact that they did not really know what
they were fighting for. In the coming
war it will be entirely different, for
the government has taken pains to in
spire feeling of national pride in
their breasts for their native country.
Undergoing Big Change
Russia" continued Miss Smondas,
'is gradually undergoing a change po-
litically that trends toward a more
representative government by the peo-
Pile. l do not believe that a reVolu-
tionary upheaval will give the people a
republican government in that country
as the monarchy has taken a stitch in
time to save nine and is giving them
representative government by degrees
The government is establishing an

Il can further add that the bitter

FRAME FUTURE POLICY

CONSIDERATION
Former Supreme Court Justice Says
That Civic Affairs Will Be
Handled as They
Should Be

The nine newly elected councilmen
held a meeting at the Federation cluo
yesterday at noon and outlined a gen
eral policy they expect to follow the
next two years. Judge John D. WORKS,
who received the highest number OF
votes for councilman of any one on
the ticket, was unanimously elected
president of the new council.
The councilmen told Judge WORKS
thew expect him to enforce the council
rules and parliamentary laws, ana ne
promised that he would. A promise OF
this kind from Judge Works means
that council business is to be con-
Quoted on business lines and there Will
be none of the free-and-easy go-as-
you-please methods that have espe-
cially characterized the outgoing coun-
Gil
Committees Not Announced Yet
AS president of the council he will
have the responsibility Of appointing
the committees that do most of the
council business He is not ready TO
announce these committees and prob
ably will not until the first meeting
of the new council, January 4.
1t was agreed unanimously among
the new councilmen that they would
not ask for patronage from the heads
of departments, but would leave the
selection of employees to those respon-
sible for their conduct Thls VIII be
an innovation in administration as
heretofore heads Of departments nave
been besieged by councllmen VINO
wanted their friends appolhleu 10
jobs
Certain civic bodies will be asked to
aid the new council IN determining
the condition of the public service III
the various offices and to report any
evils that may exist.
There was n general discussion OF
ways and means of conducting the
business of the city. No definite
action was taken, but the meeting was
productive of good in the fact that 1t
was shown in the beginning that the
members were anxious to cooperate
harmoniously in every effort to better
conditions in the city.
Grave Question at Stake
One Of the first subjects the new
council will consider will be the num-
ber of employees of the city. Nearly
20 per cent of the city's income is
expended in salaries, and these sal
aries show a tendency to increase. Are
the employees paid too much or are
there too many employees? This is a
question that the new council Will
look into. They are convinced 1t is
one or the other, but are inclined TO
believe that there are too many NIB
bling at the public crib. If they tind
this to be the case they can remedy
the matter by passing ordinances re
ducing the number and some Of the
employees will have to hustle for other
jobs.
They are determined on one thing
absolutely. That is that the business
of the city is to be conducted on lines
Of efficiency and economy and any
thing that interferes with this pro-
gram will have TO go.

Partnership Is DlstastefuI

The idea OF the city leasing premises
to saloons is distasteful to number of
city officials who have no sympathy
with the liquor business, They con-
slider that by taking rent from saloon
men the city is in partnership in the
liquor traffic.
Several members of the new council
have been advised that the city will
be in the position of landlord to sa-
looms and they have declared it then
intention to order these saloons to move
as soon as possible.
One of the most interesting features
of the complication is that it is be
lieVed one of the saloons in the Temple
block is owned by one of the brewer
les and that the license is held in the
name of a dummy" 1t has been the
earnest desire of the administration to
separate the breweries and the saloons,
and in carrying out this plan the Ii
censes of tWenty-seven retail liquor
houses are now in jeopardy.

grove. A volunteer brigade will be

CITY WILL SOON
OWN 2 SALOONS
PO0LR00M ALSO GOES WITH
TEMPLE BLOCK DEAL
PURCHASE CONTRACT ALREADY
SIGNED BY MAYOR
City Pays $4,000 for the Property,
and Land Owners Make Up
the Sum to Hail
Million

An interesting complication will con-
front the new council when 1t takes
office the first of the year, fer it will
find itself in the position of landlord
to two saloons. The city is paying
$375,00 for the Temple block and the
nearby property owners are furnishing
S125,000
These two saloons are located in the
Temple block and when the city ac-
quires possession of the property the
first of the year it also will come into
possession of the leases of two saloons
and one poolroom located in the build
ing. But these leases will expire in
few weeks and the council Will be in
the position to order the tenants out
Of the building if It chooses.
Barney Healy and several of the
push" councilmen almost forestalled
the new council in any effort it may
make TO oust the saloons and poolroom
when he introduced a resolution in the
council last Tuesday declaring it the
sense of the council that the leases Of
the ground floor tenants Of the Temple
block should be renewed for two years.
Resolution sidetraeked
Wallace, Wren and Dromgold made
a fight on this resolution and II was
laid on the table for a week. The OPP
DOHeIlS gave dS AIltll ltdopll IOl hCltlS
that such action would be premature,
as the city is not yet in possession of
the property but there is no doubt they
did not want to handicap the new coun-
ell in the matter of leasing the prem
ises There is also no doubt that Healy
and his colleagues wanted TO con-
firm the possession Of the saloons and
the poolroom.
A serious complication might result
should the city lease premises to sa-
looms and poolrOoms. The police COM
mission has the power to revoke sa
loon and poolroom permits for vio-
lation of the law and the present COM
mission has shown a disposition to do
so whenever it appears to be for the
best interests of the city. Should any
of the saloons leasing quarters from
the city violate the liquor laws tho
commission, to he fair would have to
revoke their permits and still the city
would hold a lease that would compel
the saloon men to pay rent if the coun-
ell did not release them from the OBJ
legation.
