 Two other petitions were read, one asking for the laying of a concrete sidewalk on Ninth street and the other protesting against such a pro ject. A hearing will be given the re spective parties.
 The question of the nuisance caused by janitors sweeping the sidewalks in front of the stores and office bu ldings and sweeping out stores at all hours of the day was brought up and the chief of police is to abate the nuisance.
 Next Alderman Dowell appeared as a Squire Of Danes" for he asked that the street and alley committee De authorized to lay approaches where the steps from street to side walk in the main part of town were high, stating In some places the step up was eighteen inches to two feet. Such steps, he stated. were in convenient to women especially.

 Liquor interests Clash.
 Next came the clash of the ev- ering and explained the large at tendance of interested spectators, es- pecially among saloon interests. An application was made for the trans ! fer of the license of the Pullman bar
 from John Lopozich to the Copper \ City brewery. Here it developed that the comm ttee that was to have re ported on the transfer from Sparks to Lopozich had never reported. that
 LOpzich had conducted the business without the transfer having been
 made officially. The brewery was represented by Attorney Richardson
 and was opposed by Attorney Wat son. It was soon manifest that there | was opposition to the brewery ob- taining the transfer on the part Of
 saloonmen. The case was argued at
 length and especial stress laid on
 the fact that the word assigns ap- peared in the ordinance, not the
 word transferee. Attorney Watson lmainta ned the license was dead and
 that as there were already twelve sa. looms, the limited number, the trans fer could not be granted. It develop
 ed on investigation that the Antlers
 had closed and two of the best
 known bars in the city had not yet paid their licenses. It was mani fest that the delay was occasioned by inadvertance, and motion car ried that the transfer by Sparks to
 Lopozicb te granted Then came the
 transfer to the brewery by Lopoz cb
 and as the former had made a per
 sonal verbal appl cation intsead oi
 a signed one the matter went over
 until this afternoon that he might
 sign the proper paper when it is ex
