COUNCIL MEMBERS BALK
New Officials do Not Like Penalties
to Which They Are Liable.

Minnesota Lake, Mimi, April o.
The newly elected village officers
without exception refuse to qualify for
the offices to which they have been
elected because of responsibilities to
which the law holds them.
According to the state law a public
officer is subject to $500 fine and
other penalties for the non-enforce-
ment of the law. The Anti-saloon
league has served notice upon the var
ious town and village officers that they
will be held responsible for the en-
forcement of the laws. 1t is prob
able that meeting of the council
with the saloonkeepers will be held
and the conditions thoroughly explain
ed, after which the newly elected Of
ficers will take their oath of office.
The cid is on tight here. At the
last meeting, of the village council
strict orders were issued to all sa.
loonkeepers that the law in all of its
features must be observed.
