2 — In the decision rendered by Judge lyUcien Shaw of the lyos Angeles 



county superior court, April 27, 1889, sustaining the validity of the 



ordinance, and defining its legal force and effect as to liquors sold in 



restaurants and other places, either with or without meals. Decision 



in our favor. — (Case of The People vs. John Senich). 

 3 — In that seventeen places where illicit liquor selling was carried on have 



been closed by enforcement of the law since our work commenced — 



only four cases having ever been made previously.* 

 4 — In that the newly elected City Trustees installed April 21, i8go, have 

 . publicly pledged themselves to "do no official act that will permit or 



encourage the promiscuous sale or use of intoxicating liquors." 



Resolved, 2d, That all funds at our disposal have been used in lawful 

 manner to further the objects for which they were pledged ; and that there 

 is now nothing remaining in our treasury. 



Resolved, jd, That in view of the foregoing facts and results, we do now 

 disband, and cease to exist as a committee ; and that we instruct the chair- 

 man to return all promissory notes of the "Enforcement Fund" to the 

 makers thereof — or cancel them for signers who cannot now be found.

 declined to sign this paper. 



During the ensuing two years no change was made in the ordinance ; 

 yet hotels and restaurants were allowed to furnish liquors with meals, not- 

 withstanding the adver.se decision of the superior court [Judge Lucien 

 Shaw. April 27, 1889] upon the matter ; and under cover of this lenience a 

 semi-saloon business was done at several places, even to the extent of fur- 

 nishing glasses of liquor to people in carriages from lyos Angeles, to drink 

 in front of a restaurant openly in the streets of Pasadena. I give this on 

 the authority of responsible parties who saw it, and also saw other open 

 violations of the law. Some of these parties boasted in my hearing 

 that they had got liquor there, and could get it any time they wanted 

 it ; " And we don''t have to go behind a screen to drink it, either ! " they said. 

 Yet others of my informants regretted the situation, but said it was useless 

 for them to file a complaint, for they knew nothing would be done. 



*NamPs and particulars of all the twentj'-one cases here referred to were published in the Pasadena 

 S/andm d of April 19, 1S90 Five of the cases were against firms, thus making twenty-six persons in all ; 

 and only two of them were still residents of Pasadena in 1894.
