cussion arose upon this subject.
Councilman Herman Inauired as to
the meaning of the resolution , and
raid that it was too sweeping.
President Daily , whs had left the
chair , supported the resolution on the
gronnd that ( t was much needed.
Councilman Herman then spoke
very emphatically , aiylng that if the
fences be moved it would give a great
er stumbling block to passers by. The
lamp posts are setting out twenty feet
from the property line. If the reso
lution be passed it would work a great
deal of injury to nearly every citizen
west of Sixteenth street. I am In fa-
verof doing this tome time , bnt not
now.
Councilman Delone referred to the
previous action of the conncil whici
Dermitted the building cf fences on'
side of the line for the purpose o
growing trees. Since 1871 there ha
been no authority for this purpose , an
those who have built them there hav
done so at their own risk. I am , i
favor of the resolution , with th
amendment that the trees bo allowed
to stay where they are , but the fence
be moved back.
Oonncllmen Hornberger and Bake :
spoke. The latter moved that thi
matter be referred to the commltte
on sidewalks and bridges.
It was laid aside until an ordinanc
should be read.

MUST BE ENFORCED ,
Dity Attorney Manderson Be
lieves It the Mayor's Duty
to Sustain the Slo-
cumb Law.
Mayor Boyd has received from City
Attorney Msndorson a carefally pre
pared opinion as to tbe Slocumb
Iqcorlaw , in response to a request
m that subject from the mayor. After
ally setting out previous lawa regard-
ng the sale of liquor , General Man-
lerion says :
The law of 18GG aa amended In
.875 , and aa abore recited , and the
> rdlnancei passed thereunder aa
tbove referred to , are the lw to-day ,
md it is my opinion that the mayor of
Jmaha must act according to their
> rovielons until the ao-called Slocumb
iquor lav , passed at the lait sesiion
if the legislature , shall take effect.
Dbh bill traa passed without
my emergency clause. Under
he constitutional provision the bill
; annot take efteot not 11 threq calendar
nonthi after the adjournment of
bo last session of the legislature.
? hese three months expire , I believe ,
Fune 1 , 1881. The Slocumb liquor
aw repeals the lawa heretofora recit-
d and now in force , but until June
, 1881 , it hu no force or effect oren
a a repealing statute. It differs very
adically from the law now in force ,
lartlcularly in matters pertaining to
pplication for license bond and the
isulng of license. Many of its pro-
isiona are new and strange , and its
lenaltiea are extremely severe. By
aany who are interested in its sub
ect matter it ia claimed to bo uncon
tltutional , the main objection being
hat It does not act with uniformity
pen the clau from whom a license
ax ia exacted. The question is an
iterating one and one that
THE StIPEElIE COtmX
f the slate will undoubtedly be call-
d upon to decide. With the question
f its constitutionality , however , the
xecutlve officials of the city have
othing to do. When it becomes ope-
itiye the city authorities must enforce
s provisions until it ia declared nn-
institntional by some "competent
igal tribunal. " "
It is my opinion therefore that it is
jurduty , upon proper application
id petition tiled and bond given as
squired by the law of 1866 , and the
nendatcry aces and ordinances pass-
I under It , to issue license for the
, le of liqnor for a period of from tbo
ite of the license to January 1st ,
> S2 tbe amount to be paid
beat the rate of $100 per annum ,
it cot less than $60. Licenses ehonld
) thus issued until. June 1st , 1881 ,
sen the Slocumb law takes effect
[ ter that time licenses can only iisue
ider its condition * , and liquor can
i sold only under Its provisions and
aaltlea. Il ia further my opinion
at all licensee issued under former
ins become valm I as when the new
[ nor law takea effect Tbe licensing
the-sale of liquor is a
MATTER OF POLICE REGULATION
ther than a matter , of revenue. The
te who takes a license to epg ge In "a ,
sffic that la recognized as one 'hat '
e legislature maj restrain or prob bit ,
makes It subject to the change of In
creased license tax , on enlarged pen-
altieBi or entire prohibition. There
HSin be no contract or vested right
flowing from the granting of such a
license.
Upon this very interesting proposi
tion tha decision of the courts have
been almost uniformi I quote from
Oooley on taxation .in support of my
piiitlon.
"Licenses like all other statutory
privileges are subject to be determined
by changes in the lawa , as a retailer
license , for instance , is terminated by
a law totally prohibiting sales. " Page
414.
414.I
I quote also a Massachusetts case
that la directly in point.
"A license to retail spirituous
liquors granted for one year , and for
which the license has paid one dollar
to the clerk of the board of public
officers which issued it , as required by
Statute , is not a contract ; tnd is
annulled by the passage , within the
Tear , of act prohibiting all sales of in *
toxicating liquors " Fifth Gray 597.
AN INTERESTING QUESTION
to arise hereafter , ia whether
those whose licansea are
annulled by legislative enact
ment can recover back any part
of the license money paid by them7 It
would seem equitable that they should
ba permitted to do so , but by the same-
reasoning that I urge above , viz : That
the license assumes all risks of the
legislature increasing his burdens , or
prohibiting the traffic wohlly , it seems
to me that such recovery back cannot
ba had.
SJStnco you requested my opinion
upon Saturday last , I have given the
bubjoct much thought and research ,
and believe that the opinion expressed
will stand the test of trial in the
courts.
CHARLES F. MANDERSON ,
Oity Attorney of Omaha ,
P. S. I should , perhaps , call your
attention to tha fact that , by the law
of 1875 , all applications for liquor
license must lie over for two weeks
before action is taken thereon to allow
objections , protests and remonstancos.
See laws 1875 , page 24.
II FALLS NOT.
THE MISSOURI STILL HOLDS ITS OWN.
From List Evening's Bee.
At nine o'clock this morning the
river was at a standstill , at the high
est point It has yet reached , 23 feet
9 inches. None of the buildings at
the shops or smelting works have
suffered any apparent damage from
their long bath. This is not the case ,
however , In thp lumber yards , where
the buildings are heaving , settling or
going to pieces. Hoagland's office Is
apparently off its foundations and the
long lumber house In its rear Is begin
ning to show symptoms of similar
trouble. The lumber companies are
atill removing what lumber they can ,
and the booms give no indications of
being likely to break.
COUNCIL BLTJFF3.
Mr. S. B. . . Johnson and Mr. Shelton -
ton , of tbe Water Works company ,
took a trip to Council Blaffj yester
day Ir the "Flying Dutchman , " with
Jack Brown , one of the beat oarsman
on the river. They started from the
company's settling baains north of
Omaha and it required two hours to
reach the other eide. They landed at
the foot of Broadway within a
block and a half of the Pa
cific House. The first living
things they encountered on their trip
were three healthy bull pups , which
were floating on a piece of board in a
door yard , tied to the knob of the
house door. A half mile further on
they encountered a solitary chicken ,
contentedly floating along on a piece
of sidewalk , about one bundled feet
long. On Avenue B. and First streets
a small boy was found
PADDLISO ALONG
In a large wash-tub. Two blocks
further east they rendered valuable
assistance by taking a girl , about ten
years old , from a gate-post and con
veying her to a brick house two blocks
off , where they put her in through a
window. 1 hese gentlemen state that
over one-half of the town Is under
water , and the water in the streets
from three to five feet In depth. The
steamer "Benton , " which landed at
the foot of. the Bluffc last week ,
could have steamed np to the
centre of the town and landed her
passengers within two blocks of the
Council Bluffa savings bank. Fully
one-third of the houses in the city are
partially under water and many of
them must be off their foundations.
The citizens residing on the bluffs
have dona nobly to ward relieving their
unfortunate neighbors , bnt the de
mand upon them has been so large
that a relief movement will probably
be started on this side , and our citi
zens will no doubt contribute liber-
illy.
STATIONARY.
The river was still stationary at 2
p. m. at 23 , eet and 9 inches.
Ladles' Relief aoclety Disband.
The Ladles' Relief Society , having
failed to secure from the Common
Council the fifty years lease of the
property which it desired for its build
ing , has determined to disband. The
iccrctary of the organization has left
it the BEE office a long statement ,
giving in detail the efforts of the so-
: iety to procure this lot , and the rea-
ion for the defeat of their plan. It
would afford this paper pleasure to
publish ibis statement , but its extreme
length weuld make it necessary to
leave out important news in order to
3o so , What the ladies proposed to
lo was to erect a building costing be
tween five and ten thousand dollars ,
which should comprise aHome for the
Friendless , an. Industrial School and
i Ealief Bureau. They petitioned
, he council to set apart a suitable
; ract of land aa a site for this purpose.
The matter came np In the council ,
tnd was referred to-the committee on
public property and improvements.
4.fter some months , the committee
'ailing to report , the ladles selected
ot 5 , block H , as specially suited to
helr-pnrpores.and sent aapecial com-
nittoe to a meeting of tbo council ,
rh o , on the matter being brought to
heir attention expressed a wish to
lave it settled immediately. Soon
fter thp'council committee reported
a favor of the lease at the nominal
ate of one dollar per annum , but the
onncll delined to make the lease for
inety-nine years , as requested , and
absUtuted the term of twenty-five
ears.
ears.A
A meeting of the Belief Society was
eld and the offer of the council re-
scted for the following reasons :
1st. That ao abort a lease would ef-
actually prevent liberality of contri-
ution toward the erection of a build-
ig.
ig.2d. . The society would ba greatly
mbarrassed in accomplishing its pur-
oees by accepting a short term of oc-
dpancy of real estate. *
The council was aaked to extend tha
[ ine of the lease lo at'leaat fifty ; en ,
ut declined to do so'and the Belief
odetv therenpon decided to disband.

AnotheVr Mail Bobber Drops In
to Detective Seybolt'a
Iron Grip.
fostofHce Inspector George t. Sey-
bolt , of this city , has been engaged
for tie last month , in company with
three of the beat postal detectives in
the country , ttfo from Washington
and one from Pittsburgh , in unearth
ing a series of mall robberies east of
Chicago , which were very skillfully
done and which the government had
determined to unearth. The news
was received hero yesterday morning
that the long search cf the
officers had been Crowned with
success and that a few days since in
Toledo Mr. Seybolt and one of his
colleagues arrested their .man , Capt.
E. R. Elakesloy ) against wh m they
had a case without a flaw , and that
the latter made full confession of his
guilt. Blakesley was a postal clerk
and lays his crime to wino and women.
He was formerly a captain in the reg
ular army. Ho confessed to have
stolen § 20ft from letters. The Cleve
land Leader speaka as follows of
Blakesley's detection :
"This is one of the most impprtant
captures ever made in the mail service
and reflects great credit upon the
officers who worked the matter up.
It requires the utmost tact and
shrewdness to cage a sharp mail robber
and the service have in the present ,
as on former occasions , shown them
selves np to .the standard of efficiency.
All the inspectors engaged in Blakes-
ley'a caeu have been in the business
for years , and are noted for their sue- .
cess tin ferreting out this class of ;
criminals. "
