are forbidden sales under the law. In sew
eral instances boys had robbed places
where liquors were sold for the purpose
of obtaining drinks. Some of these young
culprits were arrested. taken to the Juvenile
Court, reprimanded and placed on proba-
ton. 1t was upon the recommendation of
Commissioner West, who has been making
close study of this condition, that the
proposed bill to amend the liquor law was
drafted by the corporation counsel.
The proposed bill, as penalty, provides
that any person violating any of the pro-
visions of this act shall. on conviction, be
fined not less than $50 nor more than
500, or be imprisoned for not more than
six months for each and every offense.
