FINALLY MEETS
Members Agree Call Is in
Proper Form and Then
Proceed TO Consider Paw
ing and Other Important
Matters

Satisfied that the call of Mayor
George u. Young for a special meet
| ing of the city commission for yes
terday afternoon was in proper form,
the city fathers gathered at the COM
| mission chambers and proceeded to
transact the first business in more
than a month. The meeting did not
begin sharply at o'clock, Commits
sioner Richey not being on hand at
that time. But he arrived a few
minutes after o'clock and apollo
gized for having delayed the trans
action of business.
The business of the session was
taken up in the same order as that
prescribed in the call, which carried
thirty matters for consideration.
The first was that of the opening of
bids for the paving of Madison street
from Third street to Third avenue.
There was but one bid, that of the
California Arizona Asphalt company,
for s2.1O for the 11,401 square yards
it is proposed to pave. H. w. Ryder
was on hand with a protest against
the awarding of a contract at this
time and tne matter was finally al
lowed to go over to the next meeting.
Ordinances for the improvement of
those streets set forth in the call
were adopted. but Commissioner
Richey declaring that large paving
company would locate plant here if
it succeeded in securing a contract of
sufficient extent to warrant the ex-
pense, asked for and secured the
postponement of the adoption of res
olutions of intention to pave some
streets, plans for which had been
adopted at a previous meeting. He
made it apparent that it was his
idea it would be better to adopt the
resolutions after all the paving or
dinances had become law.
An ordinance to regulate automo-
bile garages where volatile and in
flammable oils are stored and kept
for sale, went over to the next
meeting. /
The contract for the erection of 3 |
band stand and comfort station was |
awarded sometime ago by City Man |
lger Craig, and the commission yes |

Liquor Cannot Plead
That He Had Been Told

By ruling of the court, the guaran-

for disposing of Frio Beer. When the
state offered objection to this evidence
in the case of the state against J. ].
Elliott and o. B Hall for selling in
toxicating liquor, Judge Stanford sus-
/ tanned the objection. The court held
the defendant was bound to know
whether or not the beverage he dis
pensed was of an intoxicating char
acter.
Ihe argument on objection to evil
dence halted the case more than two
hours yesterday afternoon. The court
room was crowded with interested
spectators, women as well as men
among whom were many who had TAX
Ell an active part in the prohibition
campaign. There were members of the
