cense law relating to the arrest of in.

Gordon has come to the conclusion that
the stand taken by States Attorney Bal
ley OF Montpelier Is correct, and that
there is considerable doubt about the
right to arrest for plain drunk without
warrant, under the new law.
To get around the difficulty II Is pro-
posed to enact a city ordinance to allow
the police to arrest intoxicated persons
on view. the ordinance to cover, of
course, merely this city. The amendment
to the ordinances was presented to the

boxes themselves, they should have an outer
cover of cork bark. should rest upon a
