May Not Take Out Licenses.
Whether the men granted licenses
will take out their renewals at the
expiration of the permits now in OPP
Grafton, is not known, although it
is likely that none will pay the 1000
fee until it is known just what ac-
ton is to be taken by the depart
ment of Indian affairs. The council
has the privilege of refunding money
for unexpired licenses should 1t see
fit to do SO in cases Of this kind. The
aldermen appear to be evenly divid-
ed as to whether the money should
be returned, several maintaining that
the bar owner is taking chance !.
when he pays his fee and should not
be given the refund.
Philhppi New Alderman.
Two men. .. M Phillip and Mike
Downs. were nominated to succeed
Joseph Bisiar as, alderman from the
Third ward, the latter having res
signed at the October II meeting be-
cause of his moving from the ward.
Phillippi was elected by a vote of five.
to two He is a retired farmer, is
one of the most highly respected cit
liens of Bemidji, and there is every
reason to believe that he will mako
an ideal member of the council.
Two Resolutions Passed.
Two resolutions, numbers 81 and
IS, we're passed The first provides
for the placing of the steel posts Of
the Warfeld Electric company at
certain places on either side of the
Mississippi river between Lakes Be-
midi and Irving, and the other pro-
vides for the payment of $723.21, the
total cost of the cases brought
against the city for damages caused
to Mississippi avenue property by.
street grading.
Must Have Licenses.
In the future second hand and
junk dealers must have license to do
business in Bemidji, if the next two
readings Of ordinance rs are acted
upon favorably. This ordinance pro-
vides that in order to conduct sec
ond hand store in Bemidji a license
must be granted by the council, for
which fee of SO will be charged,
and that in order to buy junk man
must be granted a license for which
he must pay IS. In buying an ar

ton at all times. Nothing will be
accepted from minors except when
the permission of the parents or
guardian is shown. This ordinance
has been drawn for the purpose Of
putting a stop to the purchase Of
stolen articles by second hand deal
[ers.
Will Revoke Licenses.
Alderman Smart called attention
to the fact that large number of
small boys are able to secure cigar
cites and that they have practice
of gathering In punches in barns
and shacks and smoking. He sug-
gested that every license should be
revoked where it is found that "pills"
have been sold to minors. His plan
was approved by other aldermen and
owners of the eight cigarette icen-
SEES in Bemidji should take warning.
