lington to have an ordinance passed put
ting the hotel licensing power in the

under the law. The ordinance now pend
ing was hurriedly drafted, after Council |
man Eastwood had presented an ordi |
nance providing for an elective excise
board, thus virtually giving the city local
option. Liquor dealers opposed this or
dinance, fearing to risk their business
with popular sentiment.
