Oddities in the War News Plan to Stop “Shake Downs” by Putting Wedding Bells in Municipal Building. Aldermen Quinn and Poulker in- troduced at this afternoon's meeting of the board a resolution abolishing, the marriage “chapel” in the base- ment of the City Hall and trans- ferring it to a room in the Municipal Building immediately adjoining the City Clerk's office. The resolution was referred to the Committee on General Welfare and will be roperted jout at the next meeting of the board. | “Some ‘of the absent-minded young} couples will get lost looking for the chapel if we put it over in the Municipal Building," argues Alder- man Dowling, who will lead a fight against the resolution, The resolution establishing the “chapel” in the basement of the City Hall was adopted by the Aldermen in! March, 1895, It gave the City Clerk the power to designate two men to! look after the chapel and to solicit| {no money. But there is a joker In the| old resolution. This is to the effect that the parties being married must be informed that whatever they want to give must be voluntary. Of course no one escaped without a “voluntary contribution,” Alderman ‘Happy Jack” Reardon has veen performing | | the ceremonies for some time. | Alderman Curvan, majority leader of the bo: contends that the “chapel” privileges have been abused. He says runners are busy every day piloting couples from the Municipal Building, where they get their mar- riage licenses, to the bagement of the City Hall, “Many couples were shaken down for $10 when they wanted to get mar- ried on Saturday afternoon," says Curran, + The new resolution only for a chapel ri; Provides not right under the ey of the City Clerk himself, but that the Roard of Aldermen appoint (ne of their number to sit one day a week as @ marrying Alde an.
