New Liquor Ordinance signed
The mayor also signed the new or0-
nance for regulating the trafisc in intoxi-
eating liquors, which viii be published
IN tomorrow Mornings Post-lntelligencer
and then become at once operative The
mayor stated that he thought the new or
a INN ma
ordinance, No. 80. under which the city
has been Issuing liquor licenses since
ISIS.
One Of the chief objections to the old
law was the delay occastoned BY fts work
ing in the matter Of Issuing licenses Ap-
piicants for license we're sometimes COM
PEELED to walt three months. while the
application wendell its slow and tortuoas
way through the committees OF the two
branches Of the city council Under the
new lac applications VIII 20 direct from
the city comptroller to the police. license
and revenue committee OF the council.
which win Investigate TIE application and
make . report to the council. accompa-
MED. IL the report be favorable. with an
ordinance.
Under the new law the applicant must
put In his application three weeks In ad-
vaace. or three weeks before the exp:ra-
ton OF his old license; and he cannot open
his place Of business without . license ac-
tualiy issued and hung on his wall
Another important feature Of the new
system - that II covers. the giving away
as well as the sale Of Eqnor. which. under
the charter. Il has the power TO DO. The
charter gives the council power by ordi-
nance TO license. tax and confine within
limits OF time ana place to be by the city
council prescribed. and to otherwise segu-
late the selling or giving away Of tntoxi-
eating liquors" Previous ordinances have
attempted to regulate only the selling. but
the new ordinance also covers the giving
away. 1t therefore applies to not only
all saloons and drinking places. but hotels,
restaurants. eating houses. private clubs,
either incorporated or unincorporated, and
all other places where liquor IL given
away with meals or otherwise or sold
There Is q provision In the ordinance
making II the duty Of police officers to re-
port any violation OF It to the city attor-
ney. who shall vigflantly prosecute all Of
tenders II information Is brought to him
In any way. Failure to inform on part OF
police or neglect to prosecute on part Of
the attorney are made grounds for removal
from offsca-
1t is said that the Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation. composed Of men who actually pay
license. Intend TO secure evidence concern
Ing drug stores. restaurants and other
places selling without license.
The Street Department.

day that the work would be completed and
the bridge rsopened today. He gave or
ders Yesterday for the seven families oc-

During the whole Of ,Ae present ,,o,,n
Commissioner r4ttle's hands viii b prae-
t'eaiiy tied. so far az all other work IL con-
cernec. by the fact that the CITY covnrs,
has required him TO do the ernerr~rcv
work on fesler way without sfytur Rim
any special appropriation FOR It. civ En-
sineer Thomson had prepared an ordinance

work: but the finance COMMITTEES - az
