All the saloons mast go at that time.The ordinanoe whioh abolishes the saloons and whioh has been pending for a number of weeks past, came ap for its final reading and passage at the regular meeting of oouncil last night. Farrell, McDonald and Taylor were absent.President Marshall oooupied the chair, and at the call for ordinance* for the third reading the measure prohibiting the salooons, which is published elsewhere in full in this paper, was read by the clerk. Then the vote on its passage was taken and every member present registered his vote in its favor. The members present who voted for it were Garfield, Wilson, Kiernan, Alexander, Dice, Brannen, Marshall, Conwell, Lupton and Smith.As the roll was called and the members responded favorable for its passage, there was a little stir among the large crowd of spectators present, but there was no demonstration or evidence of approval or disapproval, whatever. They began to file out the door and the ordinanoe was passed up to the president, who affixed his signature and the deed was done.The time for the ordinance to go into effect is the date for the renewal of the Dow tax.
