Mandatory.

The most drastic penal law enacted
by the General Assembly in 1914 ap-
parently has escaped the observation
of local officers as well as yiolators. In
amending the local option law the
General Assembly changed the con-
junction ''for" to and in theeenalty
for bootlegging, depriving courts of
the discretion Of timing 'or" impris.
oning those found guilty of this
offenSe, and making the penalty a fine
''and" imprisonment.
This little change was lost sight of
in the more extensive amendments to
the law. The old penalty was fine
CT $50 to 500 or 10 to 10 days in jail, or
both. The amended law fixes the
penalty at $50 to 800 fine and 20 to 40
days in jail.
