MUST HAVE SPECIAL
ELECTION ON OCT. 6

City Attorney John s. Pullman gave
his opinion to Mayor Wilson today
that the vote on the constitutional
amendments must be taken on October
s, the first Monday in October, and
cannot be postponed until the regular
election day in November as the mayor
desired Whether the saloons must
close on that day the City Attorney
says is a matter for the prosecuting
liquor attorneys to decide.
The special election means an ex-
pense to the city of about So, OOO Mayor
Wilson said this morning that if the
vote on the constitutional amendments,
which provide for an increase in the
pay of legislators from $500 to $500 and
allow them car fare beside, was taken
on the regular election day he felt a
better expression Of opinion could be
obtained. Also the city would be
spared the expense Of the special cleo
ton.
1t would seem that is the act passed
by the last General Assembly care was
taken to indicate just what election
days the saloons must close and that
saloons need not close upon the days
the constitutional amendments are to
be voted on. The section of the law
which deals with his reads:
THE word elections as used in this
act shall be construed as meaning a
selection by ballot of one or more per-
sons to fill q public office, and shall
not include primary election or cleo
tors meetings at which no persons are
elected by ballot to public office
Prosecuting Agent Albert J. Merritt
said today he had not yet looked up
the law asd was not ready to give an
opinion as yet. Prosecuting Liquor
Attorney Arthur w. Comley has not
yet returned from his vacation.

fessions and other kinds of human en-
deavor to even a greater extent than
in the liquor business? But the rule
seems to be that the other law Vio-
and so grossly mfSrepresented in un-
kind ways that the liquor dealers are
subjected to.
t'It is one of the aims of this as
sociation to prevent so far as lies in
our power the violation Of law upon
the part of members. It is one Of the
fundamental principles underlying our
constitution and is drafted into our
bylaws, and as a whole we have lived
up to the spirit and letter of that prin-
cip1e.
LET US hope for the dawn of day,
friends, when our interests will be ac-
corded the same fair treatment that is
given to our other business institu-
tions, when reason and Justice will
take the place of Ignorance and hypo-
cricy. If there was not a great de-
mand for our products we would not
be engaged in an occupation that the
state and nation has by law made just
ness. 1t remains for ourselves to con-
tinue conducting our affairs so as to
merit the good will of those whom we
serve and judging by the earnestness
of the men with whom we are as
sociated, the future can not but help
bring its rewards.
when we stop to realize that this
association was organized for the good
it can do, not only for the interest
that it serves but for the state as well,
is it not TIME for rejoicing when we
look back upon the years of our exist
ence and learn that our strength has
steadily increased and our efforts in
behalf of uplifting of the business as
a whole, have met with no small meas
ure of success.
ttLet me state0for the benefit of our
unkind critics and for those who be-
lieve in a, fair and just treatment of
men that our work has not been di
rected along selfish lines, but on the
contrary, whether our activities have
fined us to our daily tasks, they have
been spent in the promotion Of those
ideals which stand for the general
good Of our institution"
President Quinn then thanked the
officers of the association for the
work they had done in assisting him
in his duties.
Secretary Thomas Fitzsimmons, of
New Haven, reported the affairs Of the
in a satisfactory condi-
ton. The receipts for the year were
$6,874.46 and the expenditures S3,-

MOONEY WILL CLOSE SCHOOLS
WHERE FIRE DANGERS EXISTS
IF HE HAS THE AUTHORITY
Fire Chief Will Investigate Conditions To-

Gives Him The Authority

''If 1 have the authority I will order
the day after tomorrow that all schools
not properly equipped with fire escapes
be closed" said Chief Mooney of the
Fire departn to a Farmer reporter
today. 1.-The fact that the Board of
Education is making preparations to
carry out my orders does not satisfy
me. The board might be making pre-
parations all winter and still the work
would not be done.
'If there was disastrous school
fire and the lives of a lot of little chill
dren were sacrificed feel I would be
at fault. My understanding of the
law is that I can close up the schools
unless the board complies with my
orders. I gave the board sixty days to
do the work in. I am going to make

Secretary William B. Boardman of

schools. The building on which Chief
Mooney is insisting the board put ex-
pensive fire escape can be emptied in
from 80 seconds to two minutes by
