the constitut ionality Of the ordinances.
the question being raised as to whe.
Their the town council. by an ordi-
nance, can place any restrictions upon
the sale OF cider by virtue Of the
general welfare clause Of Its charter.
The case will probably go through
the supreme court, as the questions
u WoMed have never bsen tpassed
upon in this State. The argument
consumed the greater part OF two
days, and Judge Shackelford now has
the matter under confederation.
The citizens OF Louisa are almost
unanimous In their desire to have the
sale Of cider restricted, 30 that 1t will
not become a nuisance. They fear
a repetition Of the condition which
existed In Clifton Forge. Va. under
the operation Of the Rose Gin Fruit
farm. The business there was de-
clared nuisance. and fine was i'm
posed. The fine was sustained by the
supreme court OF this State.
