OTHER SALOON ORDINANCES /
THAT MAY BE CONSJDEpPn
New Measure That Will Affect
City Junk Dealers; Lively
Time Expected.

II looks like the joke is on the ruu,,j
clPal laws committee of the city fa+hers
AS hugo Joke upon Councilman NJ
TN. who was absent, this committee l.. :.
Friday night resurrected an ord;nor..
introduced by Mr.. Martin ages aoo ~
qulring saloons TO close SUNDAY, ora
from midnight TO 6 a. nj. week d,vs
1t was expected that Mr.. Martin st ibo
council meeting tonight would bittoTl,,|
oppose tho proposed measure. altbouo,,
no ls the father Of it, but he announced
Sunday night that he will do no sucl,
thing
With his armor girdcd tightly aboul
him, he will appear and battle for n,
passage of the ordinance. which IN
somew hat take the edge off tbe num-
clpal laws committees s intended ioks
what more, several other members oS
tne council have como out in favor o1
tne ordinance and It's chance for pas
sage Is whole lot better than remofe
By the timc the thing is through Win
the municipal laws committee's aetionN
VIII In no wise resemble q Joke. is tha
way 1t looks now.
Rapid-Fire oratory.
j is also understood that there viii
he some rapid-fire, champion, high-clss
oratory about making every holder ID
government liquor license iake ont 4
city retail license too. The government
llconso costs only SO annually. whiI9
The retail license costs $1,000 now, and
may cost $500 and even 5000 more soon.
From the temper Of the various COM
mlttee meetings recently, there is pos
slblhty that the ordinance abolishing
booths and wine and cardrooms in botii'
saloons and restaurants will be passed.
An ordinance covering both of thesS
things has been presented to tic coun.
ell. but got no farther than the com
mittec. One thing the city solons will
have TO consider tonight viii be the
antediluvlan ordinance, revoking tha
! license OF restaurants making any sailed
of liquor, or connected with saloons IN
any way. This measure also tabocs
! booths, card and wlne"rooms IN restaur-
ants. It was dug out of a dusty old
| pouch by the municipal laws committee
last Friday night and unanimously
recommended for passage. The coun-
| ell s disposition Of this measure will be
watched with more than considerable
interest.
The municipal laws committee also
| went on record verbally last Friday
night as favoring the increase Of tho
retail liquor license from $1,000 u year 10
$500 and possibly to $500. and tbs
wholesale license from $l00 year TO
$500. This is not likely to come before
the council tonight, but 1t is possible
that Mr.. Fernstrom Will call, or attempt
| TO call, his ordinance, requiring the apI
! plicant FOR a retail liquor license tn
make oath that be OWES the fixtures
! and controls the lease on the premises y
out of committee. At this time 1t looka
as if the meeting for the most part wllt
| deal with anti-hguor and saloon legiss
| lation.
Another Ordinance.
An important matter outside OF hquof|
! legislation will be the proposed ordi1
nance requiring Junk and second-hana|
! dealers to ascertain II minors VINO "
| fer articles to them for sale own tnes9|
! articles or have the legal right TO sslt|
them, or have stolen them. IL IS tnonga
| that thus ordinance, If passed, VIII iii|
| 1rnat measure do away with much petty
| fhievino among BOYS. If this measure
! passes. Junk dealers Will also have
execute a bond of $4,000, running to eng
city. and junk solicitors and collectSr
will have to give the city bond IL tn'
sum of $500.
