a whole, do not now ask the privilege of keeping our places of business open later than midnight, and I un~ hesitatingly state that 1 believe it for the best interests of the city as we'll as the saloon men, that the Council re-enact the midnight clos ing ordinance.
 While the saloon men do not wish to impugn an unfair motive to the members of the City Council, we feel quite certain that the act of that body last Monday night did us a great in- justice and placed us in a very awk- ward attitude before the public.
 Our business the past year has been exceedingly dull and our ex- penses unusually large, and for that reason we feel that an increase of $400 per annum Is heavy additional expense at this time. We realize that the city is in debt and needs more revenues, but the increase would prove heavy burden on a ma- jority of the saloonists in this city now.
 Most of us have lived with you a greater part of our lives; all that we have in this world is invested in this city; we want to remain here and do our share towards building up Pine Bluff and are willing to join in every movement looking to the welfare of it's people, and as great many of our people are in favor of the midnight closing ordinance, I think 1t but right that the Council re- enact the ordinance and thereby place us in the proper light before our fellow townsmen."

There is probability of the saloon men of this city petitioning the City Council to rescind its action of last Monday night, when the aldermanic body repealed the ordinance hereto fore existing whereby all dramshops ill this city were required to close their places of business at F O. clock, midnight. and remain closed until 5 o'clock a. m. According to the statement of M. Holland, of the firm of Holland & Lampert, last night, the saloon men of the city were greatly surprised to learn ot the repeal of the midnight closing ordinance. They were also surprised to learn of the increase in the city dramshop license, from $500 to $1,00o annually.
 In discussing the matter Mir. Hol- Hand said: "I have made inquiries among the saloonists and none of them were aware of the action taken by the Council and many of them did not learn of 1t until the next day. By reading the papers it would seem that the ordinance, repeating the mid night closing qdw and increasing the annual city license of saloons, was in the nature of a compromise with the saloons, leaving the inference that for the consideration of $400 per an- mum, we were to be allowed to keep our doors open all night. believe that it is an injustice to us to permit such an impression to exist without correction and I take this method of protesting against it.
