NEW ORDINANCE
WILL RESTRICT
WHOLESALERS

Aid. John c. Lodge will introduce
an ordinance in the council meet
ing. next Tuesday night, restricting
the location OF wholesale liquor
houses. Under the proposed ordi
nance the city will be divided into
six districts, as follows: First dis
trict-First. Third. Fifth and Sew
enth wards; second-Ninth, Elev-
enth, Thirteenth and Fifteenth
wards; third-Seventeenth, Nine
teenth and Twenty-frst wards;
fourth-Second, Fourth. Sixth and
Eighth wards; fifth Tenth.
Twelfth and Fourteenth wards;
s.xth-Sixteenth. Eighteenth and
Twentieth wards.
The Lodge ordinance is intended
TO replace the Reinhardt ordinance,
recently declared invalid by the cir
cult court on the ground that IL was
prohibitive Corporation Counsel
| Dingeman thinks that dividing the
city into districts will elimirate the
rrohibit.ve feature.
The need OF regulating the mum
ber and location OF wholesale liquor
houses became apparent as soon a.
the Watson restriction ordinance
for saloons was generally enforced
and the council began TO cut down
the number Of saloons An attempt
vas made to replace some OF the
ousted saloons with wholesale
liquor stores that do profitable
business In bottled goods.

"MAsoN AND DIxoN's LINE"
Popular Misapprehension ~ to Mean

Phrase Implied.

Very incorrect Is the general belief
that Mason and Dixon's line. as orig
inally laid off, divided the slave-hold-
ing states from the free states. On
the contrary. it ran for one-third of
its whole length between Maryland
and Delaware. both Of which were
slave-holding states at the time. The
line was run purely to settle bound
airy dispute between Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware.
All the same. the actual Mason and
Dixon's line was as much synonym
for trouble and dissension in its day
as was the figure of speech to which
in after years 1t gave rise. And the
phrase will hold bitter meaning to
some until Tin that looked-for day OF
charity to all mem shall be fulfilled
