The Mayor has the power revoke a license at any time and to refund « part of the fee, and ty hae determined to adopt this course, it was said at City Hall. Commissioner Waldo gave orders to- day to every Inspector and Captain, ad- vising them of the Mayor's wishes, and he cautioned, them that no exception must be made. In fact, not only the places which have run with license, but those whose proprietors have operatéd without official sanction are to feel the 14 of the police. ‘The Commissioner was careful to make !t clear that all ex: violation must be stopped.
