OPPOSE LIMITATION OF
WASHINGTON SALOONS

Washington, d. C.-The District of
Columbia commissioners have gone
on record against the bill introduced
by Senator Works, of California, to
limit the number of saloons in the
District to one hundred, and to con-
fine them to business streets. The
commission recently forwarded to
congress an adverse report on the bill.
The members thing that the passage
of the bill would create a monopoly
that might prove prejudicial to the
proper enforcement of the excise laws
and that it would greatly increase
the profits of the saloonists who were
favored and materially diminish the
revenues of the District of Columbia.
