And through this action the amended liquor ordinance went through. It happened thusly: Mayor Willard M. Albury announc- ed to Council that he would not sign the twice-amended ordinance which is directed principally at John Black- well’s saloon at the corner of Margaret and Southard streets in front of the Harris Grammar School. The ordin- ance, according to the second amendment, would close the place during school hours. It ‘was passed by Council with Adams, Jim Roberts, W. E. P.

According to the City Charter the Mayor's veto can be overrid- den only by a two-thirds ‘vote, and according -to “the ~ Previous voting the two- thirds was not forthcoming. But Wm. T. Doughtry was not present last night, could not participate in the voting, and with Adams, Jim Rob- erts, W. E. P.

The vote was 4 to 2. Those vot- ing for its passage were Council- men Roy Fulford, Jim Roberts, Will E. P. Roberts and Earl Adams, with Councilmen William Freeman and William Monsal- vatge voting against the measure. Councilman William Doughiry. who opposed the ordinance when it was passed on its three diffe: nt readings at previous sessions, }was not present at the meeting last night. This action was taken follow- ing the reading of a communica- | tion from Mayor Albury in which he stated that he would not sign \the ordinance, saying that he felt jthat it was: discriminating to al- jlow Johnny Blackwell to operate ja place of business at the corner jof Southard and Margaret streets, opposite a school house. | Adams Is Heard | Councilman Adams took issue | with the mayor, who was present ‘at the yneeting, stating: that tre city’s chief executive said after the final passage of the ordinance j;at a previous meeting that he felt jthat it was a good ordinance as | amended, and would sign it. | The mayor replied by saying | that after giving the matter much |consideration, he felt that the | measure was of a discriminatory (nature, and would work to the detriment of the general putilic. jespecially the school children and | others residing in that vicinity.

As tentatively approved the mineral survey will furnish em- ploymeht for a number of scien- tifically trained men who are in- adequately provided for in other phases of relief work and will provide employment for a large number of men who are unfitted for heavy manual labor but who can perform the detail work in- cidental to the survey. The revised mineral survey will be divided into a number of county projects, according to Present plans, Dowling said.
