sa loon-men TO secure a reduction OF the
license from 800 10 $50 per quarter.
Councilman Brosnahan believes that there
should lie a reduction of the license of the
small tradesmen on the outskirts of the
city, but he is of the opinion that the
wholesalers who have both a retail and
wholesale trade should be required to pay
a much larger license.
Il have been. in this council for seven
year. ala Mr.. Brosnahan. "and have
carefully watched this liquor business,
and now l think l know something a about
It. In addition 10 the grading OF the
licenses according 10 locality there will
also be a clause forbidding forever the
licensing of a saloon within 600 feet of
any school, house or church. There IS
nothing in common between the business
OF a church. q school and saloon, and
they shf uld be kept apart.
II viii also include provision that will
orerate against habitual drunkenness.
When the head of house shall notify
saloon keeper, before a competent wit
ness, that he or she does net wish any
M NJ bers of the family to be served with
liquor, that notice must be respected. i
VIII provide heavy penalty for the first
offense. no. light one, and II there be q
second infringement OF the ordinance, the
offender will be forever disbarred from
again obtaining License 10 sell liquor i'll
this city.
Il am convinced that The present sys-
tenn of making every saloon-keeper pay
the same amount is unjust. They should
be graded. There cannot be more than
four classes of districts but the license
can be graded from $50 $3.50 per quarter
I Why should a man who does a wholesale
| business ef $1,000 month and retail
business OF $1,000 only pay $10o per quarter
when man who runs IL little saloon in
the outskirts hes 10 pay $l00 per quarter
for business whose receipts are only $100
per month altogether?
These are the points | wish to bring
