The question OF the legality of the
operation OF the Van Acker and Harris
saloons was discussed. II will be re-
membered that the Taxmans control
the leases for these places and that
Mayor Schriver revoked the licenses
but successful mandamus action was
brought in the circuit court and the
mayor was forced 10 permit them 10
reopen.
The council wanted further infor-
nation relative 10 the mandamus &C
ton and therefore City Attorney J. F.
Witter and Hon William McEniry for
the Taxmans appeared before the body
10 expain the same. II had been agreed
10 carry only one case into court as

On Technical Grounds.
When the O'Connor and Rice sa-
looms were under discussion, members
Of the council took the position that
neither was operating legally. Mayor
Schriver warmly defended the O'Con-
nor place and declared that it was
the most orderly saloon in the city.
He said it was a carefully conducted
place, that no dice games were
allowed and he was much OPP
posed to refusing him a license.
However. other members of the
commission were inclined to place
Mr.. O'Connor and Billy Rice in the
same class. so far as consent on the
part of contiguous property-holders is
concerned. and declared that both
licenses should be held up on tecs
nical grounds. the morality of neither
saloon being raised.
Refused Fee.
Mayor Schriver was also opposed to
refund the entire $500 which had been
paid in by George Walker of the Lin
coin club. On Monday he introduced
a resolution that the sum of s27.76 be
returned 10 him, thereby requiring him
10 pay for the time he operated this
month. Commissioner Rudgren and
other members took the position that
il would not be advisable 10 accept |
any of the $500. since by so doing the
city would be virtually acknowledging
that the saloon had been operating
legally when as a matter of fact the /
place had no license.
Therefore on motion of Commits |
sioner Rudgren. the license fee was
