 BEFORE COMMISSION

The city commission met twice yesterday. in the morning in regular session and in the afternoon in special session. The holding of the special session brought about the adoDtion of an ordinance. under the emer- mnrcv clause. requiring permits to be obtained from the city commission to conduct or operate any pool or billiard hall or bowling alley. before
 license may oe obtained therefore from the city collector and providin, for the revocation of such permits at the will and pleasure of the city com mission Such revocation operates as an annulment of a license at sthc date thereof
 The adoption of the ordinance was brought about ty the frequent com plaints that various pool halls. To cated south of the railroad tracks were breeding places for crimes and that it was next to impossible to properly police them without addi- tional men on the police force. Chief of Police Brisbois told the commis- sion that a certain element was to be found about these places, that would not be found n the uptown pool halls, and that bootlegging and gamb
  of detection.
 During the morning session. At torney B. F. Marks. appeared in be- half of F. Pedroni and sought per mission for Pedroni to operate pool hall at Seventh and Madison streets | The commission would not issue in- strGctions that such a license be forthcoming, and instructed the city collector to refuse to issue such z Ia, | made upon the city collector for such ! license and the usual fee for such q license was rendered, but backed , by the commission, he refused to is i sue the requested license. The adop- 1 tion of the ordinance in the after noon was calculated to entirely clarify 1 the situation.
