LIQUOR QUESTION

Contrary to the general expectation
there Was no report from the license
committee To- the city council last
night relative TO the new liquor ordi
nance which was introduced last week
The ordinance provides for an increase
of all wholesale and retail liquor H.
censcs and more strict regulation Of
the liquor traffic in Ogden. 1t IS un-
derstood that considerable objection
has been raised to that section of the
ordinance which fixes the license OF
saloons where beer only is sold at
$500, while the regular saloon license
is raised TO $500 The objection lies
in the belief that this section is made
a part of the ordinance 10 favor whole
sale beer dealers in the state There
are said TO be many other objections
which will be raised TO other portions
of the ordinance before II comes up
for final vote.
