MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL

the city council was held at the city
hall on Tuesday evening with about
all members present and Mayor Sell
presiding.
1t was the opinion that Liberty bonds
| should not be accepted in payment OF
taxes, inasmuch as the city was not
in a condition Financially to carry
them.
The proposed ordinance barring
women from rooms where intoxicat-
| ing liquors were sold, was reported
| on by the committee to which it had
been referred and the report adopted

Your Committee on Licenses to
whom was referred the proposed or
dinance prohibiting women from fire.
quenting the so-called wine rooms.
pa!m-gardens, and other rooms, where
there are saloons in connection there
with, herewith submit their report as
follows:
We deem it unjust to deprive the
good women of Wausau of their priv
1leges in this case as they would be
prohibited from entering most of the
restaurants or other places of that ma
ture within the city.
I'VE believe the farmers by COM
ing to the city with their families are
to a great extent deprived of some
privileges they could not otherwise
have and those residing about the
same distance to other cities and vii
lages no doubt would patronize those
places which would be unfair to the
merchants and others of our city.
I'VE would earnestly request that if
any person or persons operating a sa-
loon or places as mentioned does not
come up to the requirements of the
Law and Ordinances, that the attention
OF the proper authorities be called and
an official will enter complaint, the
guilty party brought to justice and the
license revoked as the case may be-
I'VE therefore recommend that for
the best of all concerned that the
proposed ordinance be not adopted.
