MEMBERS PLEDGED
To ITS SUPPORT.
COUNCIL WILD SURELY ADOPT
ANrI-THEATIsE ORDINANCE,
ADVOCATES CLAIM.

Advocates Of the ordinance design
cd To block erection of the proposed
new Lyric Theatre on the southeast
corner Of Grace and Eighth streets
claim that they already have ma
jority OF the members of the COM
mon council pledged to support the
measure when it comes before that
body Monday night. And it LIS re-
ported that the board of aldermen
Will also adopt the ordinance with
out hesitation, In such an event, the
approval of Mayor Richardson would
be the only other step to make 1t a
law. So far, the mayor has not In
Dictated what action he will take In
the matter
Meanwhile. the theatre promoters
are banking on an opinion from As
sistant City Attorney Aderson to hold
ny the ordinance for time, at
least.
In the opinion Of Colonel Ander-
son, tho most serious defect in the
ordinance 80 recommended is the
clause designed to protect the
Academy Of Music and the Colonial
Theatre. both of which are within
$50 feet Of churches, and the Theato.
at Fifth and Broad streets. which
is nearly opposite st. James Episcopal
church. The clause reads: Provided,
however, that this ordinance shall
not apply to any such theatre which
WAS located and licensed as such at
the time of the passage Of this ordi-
nance The desire to prohibit only
the Lyric Theatre by the congrega-
tons of ST. pauIs and ST. Peter
may have the effect, either Of closing
the Academy and the Colonial. or of
having the whole ordinance thrown
out in the courts. Colonel Ander-
son calls attention To the famous
stock yards ease in Chicago, where
1t was held that the city could not
refuse permits to new yards aud at
the same time allow those already in
operation to continue in the same
/ section of the city. The case lyaa
that Of Tugnan against the city 0f
/ Chicago as Ill, 415), where ii was

particular business in a certain To-

therein III the same locality

+ Anderson, though without further in.
NestigatioH he is unwilling TO rule
whether ii would only invalidate the
exemptions or affect the whole ordi-
/ nance.

should be remembered. however, that
