IS so defective that it is impossible to
enforce it, and it is practically a dead
letter. The citizens of Logan. as far
as L have been able to ascertain, are
heartily in favor of the movement to
keep minors out of saloons. I have,
therefore. constructed an ordinance on
the subject which. while it is not salts
factory, is the best I can do at the
present time. with the ordinances in
their present condition, without a great
many changes and notifications.
I therefore respectfully submit for
your consideration the ordinance here
unto attached.
The ordinance in substance provides
that it shall be unlawful for any person
under the age of 81 years to ne or re
main in any saloon or billiard hall
without the written consent of his
parents or guardian, and provides a
penalty for the punishment of both the
proprietor and minor, the proprietor in
any sum not less than So or more than
500, and the minor in any sum not to
exceed 800.
The ordinance passed its first reading

back to the attorney. with the chair
man of the committee on ordinances
