M&Y TAX SALOONS I CITY LIMITS " | District Attorney Allen De-| fines Power of Super- visors in Matter. Osakland Office San .rancisco Call, UM Broadwav Nov. 13 The Board of Bupervisors of Alameda County spent the greater part of the day in struggling with saloon fights in various forms. First there was the proposition submitted by Supervisor Roeth that the county saloon license apply to all saloons inside of incorporated cities and towns as well as outside. This question had been referred to Dis- trict Attorney Allen for his opinton, and the opinion was filed as soon as the Su- pervisors convened. The opjnion was as tollows: Otfice of the District Atl Oakland, vembar 13, 190070 the Homsrable the Board of Supervisors of the County of Alameda—Gentle- men: The license ordinance of our county | passed by your homorabie body with licenses operates through the entire county, and there is no exception in favor of incorpo- rated cities and towns. They are also subject to_its license provisions. Where the ordinance of the county attempts | to provide police regulations. and they are in confitet with the police regulations establisned by any of the incorporatsd cities and towns, such police regulations of the incorporated | cities and towne are superior to the Dolice regu- lations provided fod) by the ordlnuc- of | county. Respectfull Distriot Attorney of Alumd‘ County. Supervisor Roeth then wanted his reso- lution instructing the Tax Collector to ea- | | force the ordinance adopted. There was no second to his resolution, and Super- visor Talcott moved that it be laid upon the table, which motion was adopted by a vote of four to one, Roeth alone voting “no.” zervim Wells said that he did not think that it was necelu.ry to pass the resolution, whereupon Roeth wanted to | know if Wells did not think it the duty of | the License Collector to coliect that Ii- | cense. The Supervisor from the lower por- | tion of the county repiled that he did and moved that a copy of the resolution Da sent to the License Collector, which mo- | tion was carried. This merely throws the responstbilit the entire matter upon the License iector. What time was not taken up by the of ol- tt:uu:?: :){lx:he ‘%ln of Supe; ‘or neide ties as taken up ik e e the charges inst the saloon com. ducted by Henry rtune at Decoto.

How Conversation Ebbs and Flows | Over the Wire in a Big City. | “It's very curious how talk ebbs arnd flows over the wire,” said a New Or- leans telephone girl. “Low tide is at 1:20 | in the morning.

When you come to think about it that {s something remarkable. | Between 1 andy2 o’clock the calls will av- | erage from 140 to 130, rarely more; but, for | some reason I was never able to under- stand, business always picks up between 2 and 3—in fact. it nearly doubles.
