OTHER MATTERS KEEP CITY GOVERNORS UNTIL MIDNIGHT Provision Made for Sewer Extensions; G. A. R.; and New Sidewalk Construction. Routine business was laid aside by the council fortwo heurs last night while it took under consider- ation the matter of the Lysacker saloon license. the witnesses both sides had to offer, the council voted unani- mously that the license be can- celled. City attorney, Graham Torrance, conducted the case tor the city and attorney Scrutchin appeared for the saloon interests. The council chambers were packed and after disposing of the current bills, the license cas was at once taken up, Witnesses called by the city were Martin Rose, John Oranger, chief of police Benner, Joe La Vally, county attorney McKusick and George Denely. Tbe general trend of the testimony was that the Lysaker place had a bad reputation, both upstairsand down. Witnesses said that they had seen the dumb waiter from the saloon to the upper floor used many times to carry up drinks and that money had come down. Most of the witnesses also said that they had seen policemea Dahl and Smith in the house at late hours. The proceedings about evenly divided between showing why the two policemen should not be on the force as to show that the Lysaker license should be revoked. Mayor Parker and some of the council ob- jected to taking the time of the council to hear the case when the mayor could set'le it outside, but it was decided to finish the matter at once. Witnesses for Lysaker were Eva Langdon, Clarence La Valley, Ray Goodheart, and Lysacker himself. ‘Their testimony was to the effect that the dumb waiter was for the Lysacker family use and not used to convey drinks to other parties. They said that the place was not open on Sundays and was orderly in every respect. ‘I'he testimony of both sides did not differ much from that brought out in the Lysacker and Langdon trials last week. After Lysacker had testified, a resolution was introduced that his license be cancelled and on the roll call, no adverse votes were heard. Sam Olsen, an unknown party to any of the councilmen, appeared before the council with a bill of sale for the Lysacker saloon, but after the license was cancelled, he was seen no more and the bill was still on the table.
