Recommendations even more Il far, far,
reaching than the liquor dealers had
expected were submitted to the Com
mittee on Ordinance, Charter and Re-
form by its subcommittee last night.
Along with the adoption Of the Elicit
resolution, that the license tax be
placed at $1,000, subchairman Umlauf e
stated that the Dabney suggestion.,
that the saloons be located in certain
districts. had been favorably consid-
cred, the result OF which will restrict
the number Of actual bars 4 to twenty
seven. IL the ordinance, as proposed,
shall be made into law by the two
branches of the City Council.
But the plan which will doubtless
be most surprising provides that while
100 licenses may be issued, 73 OF them
the difference between and 1 00.Ssha1lF
