TAaELIQUUIs ORDINANCES.

Under o misapprehension of tho
printed reports of the proceedings
OF The Select Council, upon the &C.
tion of that body on the amended
liquor ordinance, TIE VIRGrNIAN in
It's Issue of Friday strongly con-
demned that section OF the ordi
nance which it understood per
mltted dancing in saloons where
Liquor is licensed to be sold, It's
impression was, that this feature of
amusements afforded room for the
employment of lewd women, and
would be availed of by disreputable
liquor establishments, such as the
low dives and dens that are q dis
grace to the city.
HE VIEaINIAN learns. that the
paragraph, Nor shall there be per
mitted therein. at any hour of the
DAY or night, the playing OF any
pianos, or other musical instruments.
dance or other act for the general
amusement OF the frequenters of
such places aforesaid" was omitted
from section 2 of the ordinance, be.
cause provision had been made In
section 11-that guarded against any
such change of amendment as would
tolerate the presence of lewd women
IN places where liquor was sold.
Section II, ofthe ordinance adopted,
provides:
1t SHALL NOT BE LAWFUL. FOR ANY
LEWD woMEN OR FEMALE OF CUES

You request my impr essions OF Nor

my opinion. based upon the mag
nliicent showing presented by The
FIRdINIAS, Norfolk is destined to
become one of the greatest CITIES OF
the South Atlantic coast. With
ample railroad and steamship ia
cilities, progressive, alert and
sagacious business men, being one
of the finest ports in the whole
country, there 10 no reason why
Norfolk should not achiave in the
near future its destined position as
o great central port.
Your agitation and advocacy OF
the "Greater Norfolk" if success.

IN such manner that every effort made
by the man undergoing punishment to
