petition was presented to the Coun­
cil to repeal ordinance 70 , which

ordinance for same was presented.
The difference betweeu the effect
of the repeal of this ordinance and
of the repeal of the two that were
defeated at the last council meeting,
is that now the saloons are not al­
lowed to he open, as they would
have been under the defeated ordi
nance.
