from Des Moines in reference to the
Var Law bill, that is, the amendment
which has been offered to the mulct
law, providing that saloons shall not
be operated within 900 feet of public
library or private residence.
The bill. if 1t should pass the legis-
lature and be signed by the governor,
would put every saloon on Main street
out az business and WOULD make Du-
buque practically prohibition city.
Mayor Schunck. in response to the
resolution passed at the last regular
council meeting, has written to the
Dubuque county representatives in the
legislature and entering formal pro-
test, on behalf of the city, against
such radical liquor legislation. He,
also telegraphed to Senator Frudden
Of the action taken by the council and
urged the representatives in both
houses to do all in their power to de-
feat the amendment. The council at
its. last session passed resolution
strongly condemning the proposed
legislation and gave the mayor full
power to make known Dubuque's posi-
ton in the best manner he saw fit.
