at retail was then called up
MIR. Kreig moved tha
the ordinance be changed to read
II o'clock. instead of 10 o'clock. thu
time named for the closing OF the
houses and places named. MIR. Kess
Ter asked that The motion be with
held until the ordinance has been
discussed.
The ordinance was then taken up
and discussed by Kessler, Waner
o. w. II. Wright and Solicitor
White. There seemed to be una
nim.tv of opinion among the first
named gentlemen that the ordrn
ance was unjust and discriminating.
1t allows hacks. billiard rooms and
other places of business tn run
along at the dIscr .tion OF the pro-
prle'ors. The saloon keepers of the
town are heavy tax payers, but not
withstandlng his fact, they are sub
jected to rules that are detrimental
to their interests. whilc other class
es that should be amenable 10 the
same laws. are allowed to pursue
their avocntIons without question.
Against this they protested. Fur
thermore the liquor business is rec
ognlzed and legalized By existing
laws under the Dow law they pay
a tax for the privilege of sellng.and
now comes the Council setting
limit to the time they may SELL
The same principle, if carried out,
for if they have the right IN The first
inetance,. there is no reason why
they cannot limit the time to one
hour out of twenty-four, would
practically annul the provisions of
the Dow act. and they
would have paid their money for n
'inense that did not license. They
asked In justice to themselves, as
as business men, and as
heavy taxpayers, that the ordinance
De defeated.
Solicitor White said that he did
rot frame the ordinance, but
.hought II good as far as it went.
md believed 1t would stick. Did
lot think it carried out what 1t pur
ported TO. While it sets forth to
-egu'ate, the msin clause really
ends to the preservation of the
,eace, and for that we have ample
provisions in existing ordinances.
This ended the discussion. One
would infer the work of drawing
lie ordinance had been delegated to
wo T ersons, and while one labored
ssidiuousiy to.perfuct the head of
me kind of an animal, The other,
trough some inadvertency. had de-
eloped the body of q different
reed.
