came up at the meeting of the board
of county commissioners last night,
and before the meeting was adjourn
ed the commissioners had been in ses-
sion seven hours.
The matter of splitting the existing
districts of the county was subject
for lengthy debate and finally re-
suited in reference to the county at
torney. The plan was proposed to
place the bridges in the city limits
under the supervision of the county
commissioners from city districts.
The plan, if adopted, would place
the bridge at Bayou Chico under the
jurisdiction of the commissioner in
district 2, instead of district 3, sas
at present. The bridge at Bayou
Texar would also be placed in charge
of a representative from the city.
Another matter which brought up
much discussion was the proposed
bridge at Molin0pa $4,000 appropria-
ton for which was made in the bud
get for the year. The matter was
placed in the hands of George Rom
NELL, who was appointed bridge en-
gineer, with instructions 70 draw
plans and specifications for a bridge
and to return them to the commits
sioners on December 5, when bids
! will be advertised for.

For Late Hours Refused

Tipping houses were refused the
privilege yesterday of keeping open
house until midnight The commits
sioners received such petition at Mon
day afternoons meeting, and decided
to look into the question little more
thoroughly. then it was desired that
the city attorney be called inc con-
sultation.
City Attorney Jones was asked
about the question yesterday, and he
informed Mayor Hinrichs that, while
there was nothing against keeping
such places open, providing there
we're certain changes in the ordi-
nances under which such houses were
now operating, still he did not think
it an, advisable move, and recommend
ed against it.

Mayor Hinrichs took the matter
up later in the afternoon with the
other commissioners and t was de-
cided to refuse the petition.
A letter to this effect win today
be addressed to those who are under
stood to have been instrumental in
bringing the petition TO the attention
Of the board at the last meeting.
Mayor Hinrichs said when he was
campaigning for his election that one
Of his promises was to see to it that
A'blind tigers and the like were
closed up, and that, while he placed
no connection with the 'stiger" and the
Iegalized tippling house, he did not
think that the late hour would help
matters any too much, and he readily
joined in the refusal of the petition.

 QUIT BUSINESS

Chicago, Dec. 23 - Reduce the volume of alcohol in beer to 3 per cent so as to make it temperance drink is the proposal of the leading brewers of the country as a means of checking the prohibition wave which threatens to sweep away the great brewing industry.
 The brewers also join the ranks CT those who are fighting to do away with the barroom. Thy pro- ncse, in place of the saloon, a place resembling a restaurant, into which women will not be ashamed ot en- t.r.
 The opinion of the brewers were gathered by the American Brewers Review. The coneensus shows that the brewers want to bring about thrse changes:
 Elimination of the bar.
 Keep drinking places oUen to view from the street and doorway with a secrecy.
 Win for places where beer is sold such character that man will not hesitate to take his wife into them.
 Convpce the public of tthe error ct the idea that beer is strong drink.
 Separate the sale of beer from the sale of whiskey.
 Have the brewing industry aid in the rigid enforcement of all laws relating to the sale of liquors.
 New issues and new leadership for the brewing industry.
 Some of the brewers were in ia yor of only per cent of alcohol in beer, but a majority seemed to prefer 9 per cent as the maximum. Ar present light beers average abou 6I4 per cent alcohol and ale and porter about ' per cent.
