of the license to the treasurer and had filed his bond the committee was of the opinion that the council had no authority ity to discriminate arbitrarily as between individuals applying for license

to grant the license the motion to reconsider was carried councilman hall then moved that actio accio on the petition be held over for one week councilman pembroke I 1 cannot see any reason for this I

adopted POLICE REPORT CORRECT the committee on police reported that they had carefully examined the statement of the police court for the month of december 1890 and found that the same was correct
