The ordinance requiring all book ! agents to pay a license of $25 a week, for pursuing their operations, was also passed, which practically excludes any one from selling books in the city. The ordinance was passed with the avowed intention of excluding itinerants from plying their trade in the city limits, and for the protection of home industry. The fact that this high license will apply to all persons living here was mentioned, and the fear expressed that worthy per. aons would be debarred from work, but it was stated by a number of the coun cilmen that matters of this kind could be "regulated" if necessary. A bid for putting in grating on some of the basement windows by Andrew Asp for $76 was referred to the commit tee on public property.

Grounds for this eon elusion were given by Councilman Ka both, who aaid that since precincts six and H-even bad gone "dry," in the re cent elect inn, and six saloons put out o business, the number of "drunks" woul undoubtedly givatly decrease, and a pa trol wagon was 110 loneer needed. The "imminent possibility" of other precinct J likewise going "dry" was another of the i reasons set forth. Councilmen l.inewebcr 'objected to Kaboth's intimation that j most of the "drunks" came from pre ' einct six and seven, and a sharp colloquy j ensiled, which ended ultimately in good 1 nature being restored.
