City Year Closing.

County Supervisors have been much
in evidence during the week They
have passed the ordinance against
splitting on the sidewalks and in the
cars. They also passed the ordinance
providing for wire screens over the
fresh fish and meats in the markets.
This has been vetoed by the Mayor
and special meeting will be held
during the week to act on the veto.
Quite an array of legal talent has
been employed by the marketmen to
fight the ordinance. The building or
dinance is in the hands of the City
and County Attorney to be legally
whipped into shape" This Is not
likely to be done during the lifetime
of the present Board of Supervisors.
Fort streets bitulithic pavement is
down and in use. Tho work was done
quickly and although the busiest part
of Fort streets has been in hub-bub
through two weeks, the street appears
now to be in splendid condition.

'UNO|STURBED'

When he entered The Press Of

haggard look and was hollow
around the eyes. He said that he
was roomer at the b. NJ. r. ho-
tel and that because of terrific
uproar that had continued until
a. m. in the foreign saloon at 22S
Front avenue he had not been able
to get any sleep. The din had con-
tinued from the time the men quit
work at p. m. until the saloon
closed in the morning.
A policeman had passed the place
several times during the night, he
said, but seemed to be deaf to the
commotion. The man said that
this is a nightly occurrence, and
that since he had seen where the
police were going to stoop ROSTERS
Growing on Cannon Hill he thought
that the least they could do was to
put the lid on boisterous merry
makers on Front avenue at

NOTORIOUS BRUNO !,
OPENS PLACE AGAIN

This Is the day set for the taking
effect of the order issued by Chief
Sullivan closing the resorts on
Front avenue between Howard and
Wall.
Soon after the order was first
issued The Press stated that two
influences were back of the order
the placating of Dutch Jake by
cleansing the region near his new
hotel, and the pull by certain prop
erty owners to bring the resorts
farther east on Front avenue.
Now it appears that one of the
buildings selected by the police or
der as the logical location for the
resorts is the Astoria hotel, owned
by the notorious Frank Bruno. A
lot of people thought that Bruno
had lost all of his pull, but they
surmissed wrongly.
In the Bruno place, by the direc-
ton of the police, Frankie Devote
has opened heightened palace Of
