semblymen to vote for such a meas
uTe.

that the Legislature should not repeal
the charter of any town until after
the citizens of such town had voted
on the whisky question. This resolu-

The house repealed the charter of
Double Springs in Putnam county and
this is considered big victory for the

surrounding towns asking the repeal
of the Double Springs charter
