NEW LAW CONSTRUED
CITY OFFICIALS ACTION REGARD
ING THE NICHOLSON BILL.
Restaurants with Saloon Connection
Must Close During Illegal Hours
Other Points Involved.

Mayor Denny, City Attorney Scott, the
Board OF Safety and Superintendent Powell
have prepared an outline OF the citys con-
struction OF the several sections OF the
Nicholson bill, which soon goes into eff
feet. The construction will be printed and
given to the patrolmen, affording them a
guide whereby they can act. Not until
two days ago did the city officials decide
what ground to take regarding pool and
billiard tables being maintained in the
same room where liquor is sold. By a
strict Interpretation of the law IL would
seem that pool and billiards where intox-
icating liquors are sold would be unlawful.
and such was the first construction placed
on the law. After consideration ii has
been determined TO permit pool and billiards
in connection with saloons. provided the
games are run as a separate business and
the County Commissioners allow their
maintenance in the licenses. Pool and bill
lizards will not be allowed where games are
played for drinks or for gambling purposes.
According TO the construction which the
city administration will maintain, no slot
machines, dice. cards or devices OF any
kind will be allowed in saloon. The ad-
ministration passed no opinions regarding
Section l of the law. which pertains to
the issuance of licenses. that is a mat
ter in the hands Of the County Commits
sioners
one of the most important features
passed upon is how the law will affect sa-
looms which are run in connection with res
taurants No attempt will be made to
prohibit the two businesses being conducted
Jointly. but the stand will be taken that
in such cases the restaurant must be regu-
lated BY the law governing the saloon, and
the restaurant must close like the saloon
during illegal hours. After hours and on
Sundays the saloon doors must be locked,
and no one but the saloon keeper and his
family will be allowed in the place. Sales
must be made only in the ground-fioor room,
and n clear view OF the place will be de-
manded during Illegal hours. If appli-
cat desires TO carry on another business
it must be upon application TO the County
Commissioners. a saloon will be allowed.
however, TO sell cigars and tobacco. Sales
of liquor must be made in room separate
from other business. No partitions of any
kind will be allowed A minor will not be
allowed to receive liquor for himself or any
other persons. The administration thinks
this will stop that habit now in vogue in
some neighborhOods Of sending children
With can for beer.

Oconto, Wis, April 2O.-Log-driving
has commenced in earnest. The Oconto
River Improvement company has 125
men on the north branch and main
river drive and the first sluice has been
made out of Sullivan pond, the largest
on the north branch. Men are stationed
at all points from the reservoir dam on
the north branch to Stiles, where it is
necessary for the speedy passage of logs
over dams and rapids and other Obstruc-
ton to navigation. Hugh Mcdonald of
Fort Howard has several crews on the
Waupee making a strong effort to get
the logs landed along that stream into
the north branch. when the Improve
ment company will take them down to
the mills. Will Mcdonald has charge
of that drive.
The Oconto company has force on
Peshtigo brook divided into four crews.

Net rivers. about 100000 feet. Work
has already begun on the Net and by
the first of May they will have crew
of 500 men with wages about So per

ations and the Fence River company
