Naval Hospital mile and half, where
the President delivered his address, a.

Cuts Down Fee From $50 to $50
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 $25, 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 the board 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 mp 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 the price, and
il put back to s25 with these
prc isions: 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 il has come up,
Aud aldermen are taking. legal advice
on the subject. All revenue meas
ures must originate in the lower
board, and revision might not be
valid. while an amendment is always
in order, it is understood.

average an expenditure Of $4,000 n

holiday shopping was going on as

the Indefinite period over which IL
has been extended with the vast va

calculate on the amount spent In
