NAY HAVE TO WEAR A
TO PURCHASE A DRINK.
George W. De Cuhna, of Mont
clair, Presents a Novel
idea.

That buyers of alcoholic beverages as
well as sellers of them be compelled to
take out licenses is the proposition
which George w. De Cuhna, of Mont
clair, an architect, with offices in New
York. has embodied in an ordinance
which he has presented for adoption in
his home town.
Under the proposed ordinance every
purchaser of a drink must be supplied
with a license and a metal badge.
Should a liquor dealer sell to a man
not thus tagged he would be rendered
liable to prosecution with the revoca-
ton Of the selling license as a penalty.
The ordinance doesn't say how the tags
shall be worn, the idea presumably be-
ing to give the wearers liberty to fol-
low their own fancies in this respect.
