The Board's Attitude As to Bar-Room Licenses Several Committees Re inforced Firemen's Insurance Scheme Other Matters. The regular monthly meeting of the Board1 of Aldermen was held at 8 o'clock last night . j Those present were Mavor WaddeD. presiding, Aldermen Skelding, Sprunt, Hanby, West, MacEae, . Montgomery, Spencer and Taylor. !, j " r Alderman Taylor made a few re marks in vindication' ; of the recent action of the board with reference to the renewal of liquor licenses and j offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That ihis board have not considered the liauor auestion per se, and that in'., granting licenses tne sole question was the htness of the ' applicant and propriety of location ; that in refusing to grantany and every license we were actuated by no otber motive than the conservation of t the public srood. and in reference to several of the cases strong representations against granting licenses to localities in question were made by some of the best citizis in the immediate vicinity. That the subject of house, of ill fame has given this board no little cpncernY that wo are prepared now. and . always to suppress the evil if any citizen . will furnisn v evidence - sufficient I to prosecute sucpessfulTy; warit ' of such evidence being the only obstacle" tohe suppression of the evil. That these houses exist, the public is morally certain, and in the absence of evidence necessary I to procure legal: conviction this Board take it to be their. plain duty to abate the evil by every egitimate means. That the sale of li quor in close proximity to a house of tius cnaracter must inevitably contri bute to aggravate the evil, and in refus ing to license the sale of liquor in such localities we are acting within our legal imits and exercising that discretion in the use of power which, while it does not abridge the rights of legiti mate business, ; protects the public good against a contributory' agency of evil. - That the cost of policing locali ties where houses of ill fame and bars are in close proximity is out of all pro portion Uo tax returns as compared with property otherwise situated; for example, it requires four policemen to -protect the blocks facing on Fourth, between Church and Castle streets with an aggregate taxable property of $40,000, whileuthe business block od which The Orton House is situated, with a tax valuation of $170,000,! is policed with one man. , We submit thai this is an item tor taxpayers to consider.
