PROPOSE Limit
NUMBER SALOONS

lVUVtULA JhlUVlHJ
Some months a proposition was up
before the city council and an ordi-l
nance was proposed to limit the num-
Der Of saloons in the city to those
already ii existence, and the propo-
sal brought forth all kinds OF discuss
ion but no definite action was taken |
1t is well to note, however, that no
less great a city than Spokane, Wash
ington, has the very same matter un-
der consideration. The following arti-
Gle from the Spokane Spokesman-Re,
view:
Limitation of the number of saloons
in Spoknae, as outlined in the propos-
ed ordinance which it is said Council
man Estep will introduce in the city
council, sounds good for this city. It |
is worthy Of the most favorable con-
sideration. There do not, indeed, APP
pear to be any logical reasons against
it.
That brewery interests and the sa-
looms controlled BY them will oppose
is probable, as such an ordinance
would check the policy Of the brew
cries to plant new saloons whenever
ana wherever they can. But the inde-
pendent saloons now doing business
would have reason to give it their ap-
prova1.
Councilman Estep proposes that no
new saloon be established or licensed
until the city's population reaches 215-
600. and that the number Of saloons
shall be limited to one for every 1000
OF population. At the present time
there is one saloon for about every
375 Of population, a proportion that
brings scandal on the city.
II the change goes into effect every
saloonkeeper would be put, to a great
er extent than ever, on his good be-
havior, since the revocation Of a IL
cense could not be followed BY the is
suance Of new one until the pre-
scribed limit Of population was
reached. The adoption Of the ordi-
nance would set at rest, for number
OF years at least, all fears Of an inva-
sion of residence districts by saloons. :"
