he and City Treasurer Judson L.
Fields and Tax Receiver A. Wilson
Muirheid were in collision. Presi-
dent Andrew F. Foltz assured him
that nothing of the kind was con-
sidered; that the accountants who
investigated the city's books had
given the city treasurer a clean bill
of health, and had in no way re-
ferred to the city auditors work,
so there was nothing whatever
against him.
Councilman Hervey S. Holcombe
finally withdrew Mr.. Malloy's name
as a candidate; Councilman Clinton
B. Oblinger did the same with Mr..
Kachline's, and the matter went
over for month to await jnstruc-
tons from the city solicitor as to
whether the new auditor should be
elected now or not until next Janu-
airy.
CONSERVATION reigned when Coun-
Gilman Pedrick announced that Po-
liceman Patrick F. Lynch had no
trousers. Visions of the doughty
officer patroling his beat in a rain
barrel fitted before the city fathers
vision, so Mr.. Pedrick fastened to
explain that Policeman Lynch was
wearing a pair of his own trousers,
but they were fourteen years old
and black, whereas the rest of the
uniform is blue.
The situation appeared so serious
that council authorized the police
committee to make such purchase as
might be needed, and also to look
into the advisability of purchasing
new suit for Policeman Israel H.
Huselton. 1t was said that Mr..
Huselton's present uniform is so
bright that it hurts ones eyes to
look at it, but when it was explained
that the suit in question was a winter

TAX RECEIVER RESIGNS.
Tax receiver A. Wilson Muirheid
offered his resignation and it was
accepted without dissenting vote at
Tuesday nights meeting of common
council, which was especially called
for the purpose of considering
charges against him. Mr.. Muirheid
asked for an early audit of his books,
and it was decided to have Alexan-
der Hunter & Co., who recently
went over all the city accounts for
eight years past, go over the tax
books.
Upon motion of Councilman Her
vey S. Holcombe the tax receivers
salary for the past three months will
be paid, it having been held up at
Monday nights meeting.
Another meeting will be held on

Georgetown Saloon
Keepers Lose Again
Ir5znction Granted Washington
and Old Dominion Railway Con-
frmed by Appellate Court.

An Injunction granted by the District
Supreme Court on petition OF the WASH
ington and Old Dominion Railway, re-
straining the excise board from issuing
licenses to Patrick #. Carr and James
w. Wardell, Georgetown saloonkeepers.
was affirmed today by the District
Court Of Appeals.
The injunction was granted by Justice
Mccoy. The opinion OF the Appellate
Court was handed down by Justice Stat
ford of the District Supreme Court. who
was substituting on the appellate bench.
The lower court was sustained In
each of the four points on which its
decision was attacked.
The first involved the location OF the
west boundary Of the fire limits. The
excise law reads that no saloon shall be
licensed west Of the fire limit as Il
now" exists. At the approval of the
law on March 4. 1913, the west boundary
was at Thirty-nfth street The saloons
OF Carr and Wardell were located at
1905 and SeoS M street, respectively. The
law did not become effective until July,
1913, but on March 20. 1913. the Commits
sioners extended the fire limits to
Thirty-seventh street.
The saloon keepers contended that the
expression now exist" related to the
time that the law became operative,
while the railway company held that
nov" referred to the date OF approval
OF the law.
The second question was whether the
railway had sustained particular dam
age not worked upon the rest of the
community. The court held that A. had
shown that the presence OF the saloons
CONSTITUTED cs,d such nuisance as to work
The contention of the saloon keepera
that the railway company had relief ut
law through "certiorari" proceeding In
not sustained.
Suggestions by the appellants that the
railway should have proceeded criminal
ly against the saloons as unlicensed
places was overruled.
