THE CHARTER INCORPORATING THE NEW
PUBLIC LIBRARY RECEIVED.
INTERESTING SATURDAY NIGHTS" GIVEN BIZ THE
MISSES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF THE NEW


EXCISE LAW DISCUSSED.
The new excise law has been discussed favorably
and unfavoraby in clubs in liquor shops and In
social circles with considerable animation. The
present Excise Board will breathe sigh OF relief
when their offices 10 exist. for the office Is IN
no sense a snecure. II has been the experience
of previous Excise Boards that their most appropr-
ate motto is You'll be damned II you do and you'l
be damned II you don't" The Noun; Vernon Elk
else Board Is In strong contrast with commissioners
of other cities In that It's members men OF hisA
social and church standing and they have not only
exercised their best efforts to lessen the nnDer OF
saloons and to issue licenses TO those who might
be expected to carry out the laws but they nave
given their services without fee or reward. except
the severe criticism that people are always ready
to disseminate. Some Of the clubs of the city VIII be
hard HIT by the new law. for members VIII not
be able to get their "toddy' uness tho ciuo taxes
out the license required. The abolition or the Tree
lunch" custom Is heartrendne TO the man or boy
who has been able to go shop pay his five cents
for glass Of beer and get fifteen cents worm OF
food 1t is probable that the new law VIII result IN
a lessening of the number OF places.
