public street or roadway. Mr.. A. Davis
brought in bill "to promote temper
ance and to prohibit the practice of treat
ing" The punishment shall be fine of

second section makes it unlawful for
any one to attempt to evade the provis-
ions of this bill by any chicanery or sub

article and delivering another or by

such beverage. Any one violating this
section shall be fined not more than $50
