session was the discussion Of various
saloon ordinances, incidentally Coun.
eFlman Curtis stated he had been IN
shree saloons on Sunday, ard that IA
enc Of them he saw slot machines 10
operation.
The veto message Of Mayor Smith
On the first Curtis ordinance was read
and the question arose as to whether
ahe veto should be sustained or no.
Councilman Belland stated that ne
would vote to pass the ordinance
over the veto: he recognized the fact
tfaa the ordinance was an imperfect
one. bat he insisted that there should
be some ordinance on the books. and
with this one killed there would be
none at all Mr.. Belland talked from
the shoulder and he did not deny tha:
Ne apprehended that If this ordinance
were gotten out Of the way, it might
be conjecture what would happen in
the future. Mayor Smith explained
she reason for vetoing il; that It was
very faulty from legal standpoint,
and he also called attention to the
other ordinances on the same subject
chat had been introduced. Stanglaud
and Leinenweber explained their
votes; they were heartily in favor Of
such an ordinance. but because Other
ordinances with the legal faults elim'-
mated were in process Of preparation.
they we're willing to vote to sustain
his veto. The veto was sustained
when the vote came. Beiland still
standing by his guns.
BeIiand also had introduced an ordi-
nance covering the Sunday closing
matter. It was prepared by the city
attorney, it is understood and appears
sc Be an excellent ordinance. with nc
apparent faults. Councilman Curtis
then introduced long ordinance Gov
erine the entire saloon matter in the
city. This is highly important meas
ure and seems TO be replete with ex'
eeIIent points. 1t provides among
other things that there shall never be
more than the present number of sa-
looms in the city-52: and that whcr
: saloon man voluntarily gives up hi
license. or in the event that any art
forfeited BY operation Of law, no 9th
ers shall be granted in their stead
Thus the ordinance aims TO constant
N lessen the number Of saloons il
the city.
The ordinance also aims to main
tain the same amount Of money to b.
secured from the licenses. The pres
ent 81 saloons give little over so,
600, and the ordinance provides tina
the aggregate amount shall neve

number up to that minimum.

ANOTHER SENSATION.

Councilman Curtis introduced res
olution calling for the revocation -
the saloon license granted to ]. @.
TiberT and the one to Anton Theodo-
sius. He said that each of these men
had sold his saloon to outsiders, and
that inasmuch as the charter does not
permit the transferring Of licenses
they should be revoked. Councilman
Karinen stated that Tiberg had not
sold his place; that he had merely
sold half Of his business to partner,
He said he was familiar with the
transaction, but Mayor Smith ex-
planned that the deal had actually
been made, though under the form OF
a contract for sale, in which only a
small part of the money had been
paid down. he apparently having act
ed as attorney in the matter. With
these explanations the Tiberg matter
began to clear up, somewhat but no
such explanation was made for
Theodosius. These two matters were
also referred to the committee of In
vestigation. which win have enough
work to do to keep it busy for 4

TO PROTECT FRUITS.

An ordinance was introduced for
the purpose of protecting fruits and
vegetables, and other eatables, this
being the dog nuisance" measure.
AS soon as it was introduced the
members of the council picked tip
their ears, and Councilman Karinen,
who presented the measure, explain
ed. Some one suggested it be passed
upon third reading and it was just
about to 60 through with vim when
Councilman Lienenweber said he
wasn't sure just what it was about.
Whereupon Councilman Curtis terse|y
told him. The matter, however, was
postponed for its final reading until
the next meeting, As prepared the
ordinance seems good one. Coun'
Gilman Belland said that if the police
would do their duty there would be
little need Of the measure, for an ordi-
nance already declares it to be tn?
duty of the police to keep "all OBJ
structions" off from the streets, which
evidently includes the displays made
by the storekeepers. The objections
is not so much to the articles being
on the streets as it is TO the almos:
ridiculous lack Of care given them by
at least some merchants.

OTHER MATTERS,

The question Of the opening up u
an alley through block 80, McClure's,
also came up for discussion, Attor.
ney Hamilton appeared for NJ, ], Kin
uey and made strong plea against
the proposed opening; he said 1t was
not needed and that moreover grave
legal obstacles perhaps stood in the
way Mr.. Hamilton raised the ques'
ton 81 the right Of municipality TO
open an alley by condemnation pro-
ceedings, on the grounds that an
alley is not for public purposes IN
the same sense that a street is While
the point seemed OF value, IT was
suggested by one Of the couneilmen
that the charter expressly gives the
right to open streets and alleys Mr.
Hamilton covered the ground well
and then c. G, Palmberg talked fol
the opening, He said many people
wanted II, and he also replied to some
OF the objections stated by Mr., Ham
