New Saloon License
Ordinance is Ready
For Final Passage

The new saloon license ordinance was
presented at the adjourned meeting OF
the city council yesterday afternoon and
advanced 10 It's second reading, and then
laid over for final passage next Monday
night This was due to the absence OF
Alderman Younkerman and the announce-
ment Of Alderman Fisher that he would
insist upon every member OF the council
being present and bearing his full share
Of responsibility for the ordinance. Mayor
Msloney also suggested that It would be
necessary TO take up the ordinance and
pass Il section by section.
The ordinance fixes the license at 2OO4
year by specifying that the sum OF
t1l7 shall be paid each month in addition
To- the regular state mulct tax OF SU
year. The council, however, receded
somewhat from the position first as
sumed in regard to wholesalers and fixed
the wholesale license at $500 year. in
stead of $500 as at first contemplated.
Section three OF the ordinance defines
what constitutes wholesaling and de-
clares:

liquors at wholesale shall be construed
under this ordinance to mean all slch
persons firms or corporations as shall
sell intoxicating liquors. To retail deal
ers, holding permits or licenses unqer

Intoxicating liquors to others than

objection was expressed 70 the amount
Of liquor specified on the ground that 1t
was too large and this may be modified
to prevent II doing an injustice to some
of the wholesalers. particularly such as
the Jarvis Wine company. who conduct
no bar. but sell in original packages as
small as single quarts OF wines and
brandies. where about all of the sacra-
mental and table wines sold in the city
are bought There may be some modifl-
cation OF this section.
Section four also invests the ordinance
with additional interest for Il holds the
property liable for the payment OF the
license. This section says:
That all real estate within which or
whereon Intoxicating liquors are sold or
