CITY PROPOSES TO
RESTRICT SALOONS
NEW ORDINANCE MAKES LIQUOR
LICENSES DEPENDENT UP
ON POPULATION

Restriction of the number of sa-
Ions within the limits of the city is
the provision of an ordinance intro
duced at the regular meeting of the
city council last night by Alderman
Reynolds. The measure was read and
discussed and action upon it was
withheld until the next regular meet
ing.
The ordinance provides that the
number of saloons shall not be in
creased until it can be shown by a
government or special census that
the population Of East Las Vegas has
increased to 1000. Then no addition
al saloons shall be licensed until an
increase of 1000 shall have been at
tanned by the population. The Hcen-
sing of places where liquor is cold
shall be continued according to this
plan, an increase of 1000 in the popu-
lation being necessary before anoth-
er such establishment shall be al
lowed to open its doors for trade.
The measure provides that the men
at present engaged in the liquor busi-
ness in Las Vegas, or their assigns,
shall be permitted to renew their IL
censes so long as they maintain re-
spectacle places of business. At pres
ent there are but six places in the
city where liquor is dispensed over
bar. These include the Castaneda
hotel. All these places are reputable
and are run by law abiding men. 1t
was only recently, however, that the
city got rid of several hole-in-the-wall
saloons and dives. In addition to
running disreputable places the pro-
prietors of these saloons, in several
instances, left town without paying
their debts.
The passage of such an ordinance
as that introduced by Mr.. Reynolds
last night would mean protection for
the city and for the reputable sa-
looms as well. Several Of the coun-
cilmen last night expressed them
selves in favor of such a measure.
1t was the general opinion
council, however, that the saloons at
present in business in the city should
be obliged to pay a higher license in
return for the increased protection
Afforded them. Several of the saloon
proprietors, it is understood, have ex-
pressed their willingness to comply
with such provision.
Last nights meeting was the first
in which the council has participated
for two months. Reports of the va
rious city officials, for July and Aug
ust were read and referred to the
proper committees. The purchase
of carload of tiling by the street
committee was approved by the coun-
ell.
The reports of the city marshal and
police Judge for August showed that
ten arrests had occurred during the
month and SIS had been collected in
fines. The report of the city physi-
clan showed that several cases of
measles had existed in the city dur
ing July and August, but that the
general health of the city was. good.
Mayor Goodall, upon action by the
council. instructed the fire commit.
tee to consult with L. w. Ilfeld in
regard to the purchase Of anew bell
for the city hall tower. A new bell
purchased last fall was found to be
inadequate This bell cost something
| like $50. Mr.. 1lfeld told the council
la suitable bell would cost about $3.50

That Keokuk is to have Robinson
deliver mail here was all brought
