fore Judges Archbdld, Kdwards and

the lirpior license of John LNk, of the
lSlghth ward should not be revoked.
Lisk Is one of tlie licensed dealers,

ing on Sunday. When the matter1
came to be heard at the last term of

petitioned for a re-he.iring saying he
was inadvertently absent and that he
had a good defense to make, Court
agreed to hear him and lixed yester

Mr. Lisk went on the stand and
explained that on Sunday, September
2, tho day on which, it Is ehurged, he
fold liquor, his bar room was closed
tight, but along In the afternoon be
came down stairs and opined the side
door to watch a fight that was In
pi ogress In the nlUy, and that while
thus engaged some one got in and
induced his janitor, who i was engaged
In ciearimr the barroom, to let him
have some beer. This Intruder, Mr.
Lisk says, must have been the agent
of the Men's Union who reported him
for a .seeming violation.
Tlie Men's Union witnesses did not
deny that Mr. LUsk's story was true
except In that they did not observu
any excitement iu the alley when
they were going iu or coming out of
the hotel. They further said that
while they were there another man
came In mid bought something that
was probably liipior for which ho
tendered a $2 bill In payment.
Court took the matter under advise
ment. Tho petitioner was represented
by Attorney K. C, Newconib. Col, F,

have dellnltcly nnd finally refused to

This Information was given yester

especially for tho purpose. Mr. Vos
burg sent In tho following communi
cation bearing on the matter last
night to common council, but It was
not read, Inasmuch as no quorum was

To tlie Honoiable the Common Council.

I would lie glad to dace before this lomnilttie,
as well as before the representatives of the
xloi't council, the objections made by It. L. Day
,v Co., together Willi all tlie facts ill the
case, which have bieu tailed to my attention,
toineriow- (Friday) alliinooii, or nt any other
time which liny suit the convenience of the
cniiiniiltie. Yoitr.s i esprit fully,
A. A. Wbtirg,
City Solicitor,
THE OBJECTIONS MADE.
The objections mude by It. L. Day &
Company, which Mr. Vosburg does not
desire to make present Just now, are,
in brief, that they do not believe the
bond Issue wtis legally authorized, or,
in other words, that the special elec
tion held to gain the consent ot the
taxpayois was not conducted accord
ing to law.
The vole for the Issue of sewer
bonds was recorded on the big ballot,
which contained the names of all the
candidates for oilice to b voted for.
Day & Company claim that, under the
law, there should have been special
ballots ptovlded for this particular
question, and that these should have
been deposited in separate ballot
boxes.
There are several other minor objec
tions, but these are the more, import
ant ones. All are purely technical,
but the company's attorneys believe,
nevertheless, that if any citizen so de
ls sired he could go Into court and have
the bonds declared illegal on purely
technical gtounds, and for this rea
son they advised them not to take the
issue.
The company deposited with the city
with their bid a certified check for
?:i,OU0, which they will undoubtedly
make an effort to recover. The city,
too, will undoubtedly muke an effort
to hold on to It, and us the result the
matter may be taken Into court. If
this is done it will be decided whether
or not the bonds were legally author
ized. If court should declare that they
were not then the city could, of course,
not retain the $3,000.
SOLTCITOK'S OPINION.
It is understood that City Solicitor
Vosburg doesn't think much of tho
objections made by It. L. Day & Com
pany from a legal standpoint and that
he will so advlso any councilnianlc
committee which may be appointed.
He has already sent communications
to each of the other eleven tlrms who
bid on the bonds the same time Day &
Company did, informing them of the
hitter's refusal to take the issue and
giving them the reasons for this re
fusal. He also requests them to send
hi new bids or renew their old bids,
If they so desire, utter a knowledge
of the facts,
He Is confident that the majotity of
these bidders will send 'In renewals of
their old bids and that In this way
tho Issue can be easily and quickly
floated. Tho bonds are all ready for
Issuunce and all that would be neces
sary would be to .have councils jointly
award tlie Issue to the highest bidder.
It Is probable that the new bids will
be received before next Thursday
night, so that action can be taken on
that occasion. ,
Tho next highest bidder to U. L. Day
& Company was N. W. Hnrrls & Com
pany, of New York, whose bid for 3,
