present.
Mr. Bill Muck came before the Council
with a proposition for putting on free swimming,
diving, and life saving lessons for two days,
Sunday Septemberl~h and Monday September 12th.
He aSked only 40% of the gate receipts and stated
the City would not be held liable for damages in
case of accident or injury. Mr. Hall moved that
Mr. Muck be permitted to put on an exhibition at
the City Pool at his own expense and risk; that
he be permitted to charge an admission of ten
cents (lO~) to both spectators and swimmers;
and that he pay remuneration to the City, for use
of the pool, 60% of the gross admission receipts.
It is to be distinetly understood by Mr. Muck
that the City will, in no way, be held liable for
any damage which he or others may sustain in the
ope~ation of said event and it is not to be in-
ferred by this resolution that the City endorses
solicitation of advertising. Mr. Wodischek
seconded the motion which was unanimously carried.

application for bar and package store license.

MW. John I. Thieme stated that all the

the white and colored races, but wished to state
that the bar would be for colored people only.
Rev. Statham and Miss Dorothea Galvin
asked if there wasn't some way by which the City
could prohibit the opening of this saloon. City
Attorney Nowlin stated that the only way would be
by passage of a zoning ordinance, barring liquor
stores and bars in colored town. However, Mr.
Nowlin stated that a Zoning Ordinance would in no
way affect the present application made by Mr. Thieme.
The question as to whether the license, as
applied for, should be granted, was voted on as
follows: Mr. Gwynn yes, Mr. Miller yes, Mr. Wod-
ischek no, and Mr. Hall no. The motion was lost.
