An adjourned meeting OF the village
council was held at the council room
on Monday evening, with every mem
her of the council present. There were
also large number OF spectators, many
OF whom were applicants for saloon
licenses and were present to see what
the council would do with their appli-
cations. as there were many more than
the number allowed by the council last
year. There were 25 applications filed
with the clerk.
Prosecuting Attorney Waffen was al.
80 yfegent and as soon as President
Kelly had called the council 10 order
arose and addressed the council Mr..
Waffen stated that at secret meeting
of the council that afternoon his opin.
ION was asked as TO the number of sa-
looms that the council had right TO
allow. He said that he may have made
some statements at that time that were
not clearly understood by the members
OF the council, that since that time he
had had more time TO investigate the
matter and that it was his opinion that
the council had no right to allow more
tnan IA licenses, the same number that
were now in business. City Attorney

Mr.. Holton Knisely was also present
and presented petition signec by
nearly every property holder in the
Riverside addition, protesting against
allowing the Bennette license. Mr..
Knisely gave as his reason for object
ing to saloon being located in the
Riverside addition was because IL
would be without police protection and
would be also located almost on the
dividing line between Bates, STAN.
bangh and Iron River, and for that
reason would become in all probability
NOISY place. The application was
on motion unanimously rejected and
fcr the present year there will bs no
saloon in the Riverside addition

S. F. Cleveland told of the increase
of crime and criminals under the

to exterminate them by wrong and
