sarcasm at the meeting OF the town
council yesterday afternoon, when
President Wilson asked who was SELL
ing liquor TO women In that part OF
the town known as the "Bowery," to
which Councilman Cady. who comes
from that district reported that there
was no more women served this sea
son than there had been In years gone
by, and the only reason why there
were so many women arrested in that
section was due TO the efficiency or
the police. There Svere many remarks
passed between the two men, the
'coldest' being by Mr. Wilson. who
said that he had never known a
woman to get tight on water" The
little tilt wound up not by ordering
stop put to the selling to women.
but to strongly caution" those who
sold to women TO be careful.
