OF the beer sellers the intermediate class to be composed o.
MI ACTON opposed the motion BE said he hoped there
would be but class and that the fee would be made un
form throughout the people will have make them pay
for it, Seventy thousand persons arrested last for
crimes that directly traced to the influence OF qao ana
the sv and caused ali onr trouble You should not license
houses make crime am 10 favor Of ESQ for every rum
Mr. BERGEN thought would be difficult to FIX the lines that
though he ssia there should be distinction those
who merely sell ale and beer and those VINO sen ~ nas
destined produce large quantities OF wine and expressed the
opinion I'd at people could be induced TO conhne themselves
the lighter and beer We would soon have great 90
crease IN Drunkenness
Dr. SwNBURNE took similar view Of the matter people
would drink would be well induce them 10 use such bev
ersges wholesome and this might partially be done
b wise discrimination between the dealers IN the granting
Of licenses
The motion Of Mr. SCHULTZ lost and Mr. BERGEN moved
that ony This also failed BY vote Of
yeas the Police Commissioners voting In the arma
five motion OF Commissioner Bergen il was then decdeo
TO have two classes. .
The question fees then and there was diversity Of
opinion also upon this subject. Mr. Acton wished 70 male
