cense Ordinance
Cuts Down Fee From $3.50 to $25
But Restricts Them-Costly for
Loan Companies.
SOME WILL NOT PAY AMOUNT

With the promised reduction in
the proposed license fee for drug
gists who sell liquor, to s25, from
$3.50, come restrictions, which pre-
vent the druggists from competing
with retail liquor dealers, according
to the terms of the measure to be re-
ported back TO theboard of aldermen
at the special session tomorrow night
Formerly the druggists sold under a
license costing s25, but the measure
passed by the board OF council puts
the price up to $3.50 unless sold un-
der doctors prescription, when a
government license only is required.
When the measure reached the
board of aldermen strong pressure
was brought to reduce theSprlce, and
it was put back to s25 with these
provisions: No quantity less than a
quart shall be sold. and It may not
be drunk on the premises.
A question as to whether the alder
men'by. referring the ordinance, were
amending Or revising it has come up,
and aldermen are taking legal advice
on the subject. All revenue meas
ures must originate in the lower
board, and a revision might not. be
valid, while an amendment is always
in order. it Is understood.

This is Mayor Yeiser's busy day.

This is Mayor Yeiser's busy day.
Just blocking out my annual mes
sage" he said without looking up
when questioned about his post-holi-
day energy.
The mayor would not give out in
formation concerning the contents of
his message, but it is.known he favors
parks and a municipal conduit for
electric wires, and that his. message
will be progressive in tone. He has
yet TO receive statistics and annual
reports from the executive boards,
and he cannot complete his message
until he sees them.
The board of public works is pre-
pairing its report and will ask for
$4,000, while the board of police
and fire commissioners is waiting un-
til the police and fire chiefs finish
their reports, which will be this week.
Then the board will meet and elect
patrolmen up to the number of 25
with police officers and detectives,
and the 81 members of the fire de-
partment.
No more than actual necessities
will be asked for by the police and fire
commissioners next year. The APP
portionment this year was s27, O0O
for the fire department and s24. 900
for the police. The latter included
the jail expenses. Salaries for the po-
lice department next year will ag-
gregate s24.540, and $4,000 prob
ably will be asked for.
Fire department salaries will ag-
gregate $24,120, including the cleo
trlcian and farm hand. Hose, costing
SO, 700. purchased this year, must be
paid for, and $500 must be spent
on the Central fire station on North
Fourth street. 1t win take approx
mately $4,000 to run the fire de
partment. The board probably will
not ask for the new station on West
Broadway, recommended by Chief
Wood, because no hope is entertained
of getting the money.
