A Simple-Citizen-of Brooklyn-lives_on_a_street where there is a saloon on the comer which he passes every week-day to his elevated } _.fallroad-station and_on Sundays on his way to church, The proprietor | = “of this saloon is respected and_popular_in the neighborhood, a man who | conducts his trying business in a decorous manner and who does not allow women in the back room. Still, like many other saloon-keepers, this estimable proprietor kept open after hours at night and during the day- ‘ime on Sunday. The Simple Brooklyn Citizen was palned to note at the few times when he himself returned to his home after { o'clock at night that the ~ilights:of the saloon were still bumning-and that the subdued sounds from within indicatéd that the sale of: intoxicating liquors woing on...

The.

The penalty for such lawlessness was the forfeiture of the excise bond : and revocation of the license. It ~_-was_ also made the duty of the police force to enforce the law and to arrést any violators of it. The Simple Citizen wrote to Commissioner Bingham, stating the flagrant violation of the law which he himself had observed, the name and place of ‘business of the estimable saloon-keeper, and further Inti- ‘mated that if Commissioner Bingham did not do his duty the Simple ‘Citizen would go before the Grand Jury and ask to have the Commis- ~~ sioner indicted. : ~ Within twenty-four hours after this letter was mailed a patrolman ..took-his station at the side door-ofthe-estimable saloon-keeper’s-saloon.}- _ {TheSimple Citizen on his way to church that next Sunday morning saw ‘the-policeman-and-also-noted-that-the-saloon-was closed.
