Alternative Propositions in City
Charter Will Be Submitted
to Electorate

OAKLAND, Nov. 24.-The proposed
new charter, which will be ratified or
rejected by the voters at the special
election December S, will provide for
saloon regulation according to the will
of the majority of the electorate. The
voters will be submitted alternative
propositions regarding the control of
the liquor trade.
The two propositions are identical in
part, the alternative differing from the
charter subdivision in being more COM
prehensive. The first proposition writ
ten into the new charter by the free
holders provides that mo license shall
be granted for the sale or giving away
OF spurious, malt, vinous or alcoholic
liquors in a saloon or public bar To-
Gated within 500 feet OF any church
building or synagogue in use as place
of public worship, public school or
public library; but such prohibition as
to location shall not apply to the re-
newal Of any such license which was
in force September /, 1910. and which
continues in force until this charter
goes into effect"
The alternative proposition viii, in
addition TO the prohibitions of the
ically forbid the council to grant a
saloon license within a radius of 500
feet of where there are more residence
than business houses.
The alternative clause further pro-
vides that any person selling or giving
away intoxicants in such a residential
district shall be guilty of a misde-
meanor The council is empowered,
however. to authorize within such dis
