WILL BESETTLED Fl
NALLY TODAY
RESOLUTION RESTRICTING IS
SUANcE OF LIQUOR IL
CENSES WILL BE INTRO
DUcED AT SPECIAL COUNCIL
MEETING THIS EVENING.

There II, happily, no undue excite
mcnt nor useless talk ancnt the pend
ing adjustment Of the "saloon-local
option" matter in this city, and il Il
firmly believed that by 9 o'clock this
cycning all controversy will have
been laid and the question disposed
Of for a good long time to come.
The saloon men have framed up an
agreement for the rigid closing Of
the business in Astoria on Sunday
and a large majority Of the dealers
have signed it, and gave definite sign
OF their purpose on Sunday last when,
i is automatically reported, every
house in the city was sealed against
any and all customers.
In order 10 qualify the situation
and make it feasible for all parties to
merge their interests in some Uniform
way, Mayor Wise has issued call for
a special session OF the common
council for this, Tuesday evening,
when il is proposed to submit gen
cral resolution, and pass it if possible,
to restrict all further issuance OF IL
quor licenses in certain localities for
a given length Of time; a step that is
in the interest OF all concerned in the
present mix-up. And everybody is
hoping there will be unified vote
on the proposition, so that the exist
ing dilemma may be called off and
things revert to normal and unexact-
ing conditions.
The members Of the Civic League,
who have the petitions for local op-
ton in precincts Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5,
are still busy getting signers, and will
hold these off to the last minute to-.
night before filing, in order to give
this new movement toward adjust
ment, full opportunity to make good.
and Il the resolution is adopted BY the
council the petitions will not be filed
at all; il, however, the resolution fails,
they will make use OF the cards in
their hands and send the question to
the voters, without more ado.
There should, and no doubt, will be,
a careful view taken of the whole
situation tonight, by the councilmen,
and their acts in the matter will have
a determining influence in the adj
justment.
