utive committee on the prohibition
movement, as reported in the News
called a special meeting of the repre-
sentative citizens of Nephi, Levan and
| Mona, TO meet at the tabernacle, Satur-
day, Aug. 81, at 8 p. M, at which gath
| ering the committee submitted the fol-
lowing report:
After investigation of the law in-
volped, and the course pursued by our
sister counties who have advanced the
prohibition movement far in their sew
eral localities, we deem it inadvisable to
petition our county commissioners to
pass an ordinance prohibiting the man
ufecture and sale of Intoxicating bev-
erages, as is the intent of the resolution
previously published, Therefore, with
respect to Juab county, we recommend
the following action:
THAT the citizens of Juab county
petition their board of county commits
sioners tt. pass an ordinance onEor be-
fore Oct. l, 1909, fixing high liquor IL
cense and imposing strict regulations
upon the liquor traffic. said ordinance
to become effective Jan. |, 1910.
I'VE further recommend that the
citizens of Levan petition their town
board to refuse to grant either whole
sale or retail liquor license after Dec.
81, 1909.
we also. recommend that the citi-
5zers of Nephi City petition their council
to pass an ordinance on or before Oct.
1. 1909 refusing to grant either whole
sale or retail liquor license after Dec
81. 1909"
