The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1874-08-27

By the politeness of Samuel Stevenson,
Clerk of the Incorporated Village of
Jackson, we are enabled to publish the
following document:
We the undersigned citizens of the
Incorporated Village of Jackson, respect
fully represent to the Council of said Viii
lage of jackson, that from our own OBJ
servation, and other reliable information,
we are satisfied that the Ordinance
passed by your honorable body on the
Both day of April, A. D. 1874, entitled
IAN Ordinance to restrain and prohibit
ale, beer and porter houses and shops,
and houses of habitual resort for tippling
and intemperance," ought to be repealed,
l. Because it compels parties who drink
ale, beer and porter in small quantities, to
buy by the quantity, and go to the lanes,
streets and alleys of the town to drink
the same, thereby causing them to be-
come intoxicated, because they cannot
obtain single glass of such drinks,
2. Because the ordinance causes more
drunkenness than there was before its
enactment.
3. Because it is inconsistent with the
Statutes of Ohio, and makes an act un-
lawful in the Village of Jackson that is
lawful in all the towns, villages and cit
les in the State of Ohio, with one or two
exceptions, in insignificant villages.
4. Because it has been passed by other
villages and found to be unsuited to the
wants, interests and sobriety of their
people, and they have, for these reasons,
repealed the same.
5. Because it impairs the business of
the town. and gives offense to the honest,
sober and civil citizen from the country,
and causes him to seek other places to
sell his products, and purchase what he
wishes in exchange.
6. Because it was the fruit of excite
ment rather than of mature Judgment,
passed, no doubt, in the hope that it
would be reform rather than what it
proves to be, source of drunkenness to
many, and injury to more.
Therefore, we ask the repeal of the
said ordinance, and for that purpose we
will ever pray.
