cular thing has happened In the cam
pagn which the Burlington Civic Fed
Grafton is waging for the full enforce
ment of the mulct law here. Soon al
ter the decision of the state supreme
court was made against what was
known as partial DEGREES in saloon
cases and holding that a judge could
not enforce part of the mulct law, but
must take cognizance of all the pro-
visions in dealing with any phase of
it, the Burlington Civic Federation is
sued notice to all saloons that they
must get under the mulct law entirely
by Aug. 20 next.
Saloons Begin at Once to Comply.
All saloon owners and proprietors al
once began active preparations for the
inevitable. Now the announcement is
made that the civic federation has no.
titled certain saloon keepers that they
will be given an extension of time I'M
til Oct. 1 before action is taken against
them. This is the result of certain,
representations which the saloon keep
ers have made to the officers of the
civic federation; viz: that each has
paid the required mulct tax on July l
and that if they are closed up On Aug.
20 they will lose practically half their
tax. They point out that there are
certain provisions of the law which it
will be impossible for them to meet by
Aug. 20--for instance. securing the
consent OF the adjoining property own
ers and getting out of the 800 foot limit
from any church.
Fine Now Limited to Oct I.
Realizing that under these circum
stances the enforcing of the mulct law
on Aug. 90 would be a serious hard
ship to the saloon men. the federation
has notified them that in those par
ticulars complaint will not be made
against them until Oct. 1.
Another interesting feature of the
mulct law campaign is the fact that
the supreme court having declared the
partial decree of the district court IL
legal and void, some of the saloons ara
taking advantage of it to open their
places on Sunday. At least the report
is made that number of Burlington
saloons did a good business last Sun
day.
