Rock island Municipal Authorities
viii Not Recall Amendments to

TO PROPOSE SUBSTITUTIONS.
Officials Have Come to Learn That
Liquor Dealers Hope to Maintain
Midnight Operating Hour.

\ In the face Of rumors that an at
tempt would be made TO secure a re-
traction Of the action of the Rock Is
land municipal commission in chang
ing the saloon ordinances a week ago.
il was stated at the city hall today
that The commission will stand firmly
back Of the amendments and enforce

The ultimatum-no license if the
amendments are not submitted to-wilI
he issued if liquor dealers attempt to
use a technical irregularity as a club

missioners declared today that there
will be no switch to $1,000 license and
midnight closing, as they have come
10 learn some Of the liquor dealers are
going to ask.
Municipal authorities have come TO
the knowledge that there is a move
ment on foot on the part of some of
the saIoonkeepers to submit to a 81 600
license fee for the privilege of secur-
ing y o'clock closing arguing that with
the additional 500 fee more police
could be added to the force. Officials
are satisfied that with the 5000 fee
the city can be properly policed.
officials admit that the saloon ordi-
nance amendments passed a week age
cannot technically become effective on
May / as the law requires that 80 days
elapse before official publication and
10 days more before an ordinance is
placed in force. Official publication
, OF the amending ordinances was made
on Tuesday, the day after the action
of the commission.
Commissioners. from rumors they
have heard. expect the saloonkeepers
will refuse to submit to the amend
ments. claiming they are not legal. Au-
thorities say that they will then refuse

/ Action taken at an informal meeting
/ OF the municipal commission late Sat
urday afternoon means that the num-
| Der of saloons in Rock Island will not
be increased. The city now has the
/ full limit allowed under the ordi-
nances-96. Iowans, several Moline
saloonkeepers, and few Rock Island
men who desire to engage in the liquor
business, have asked commissioners TO
amend the ordinances so that the limit
will he increased to at least 100.
/ The commission was unanimous in
its decree that the ordinance would
not be changed. The saloon ordinance
! provides that there shall be no more
saloons in Rock Island sntil there is
one for every 500 people. and then,
that the number be increased by one
only for each increase in population
of 500. The single course left to the

purposes.
An officer Of the Rock Island Liquor
Dealers association called on Mayor
McConochie this morning and asked
that a committee from his organiza-
ton be permitted to address the COM
mission this afternoon. The request
was granted, although the mayor
bluntly told his visitor that nothing
could be accomplished and that the at
titude of the council would not be
changed.
When the mayor intimated that he
had heard that saloon men would at
tempt to use as club, to obtain their
wishes, the fact that amendments tC
the ordinance had not been advertised
for the required length of time the Of
ficer claimed this would not be done
Matters pertaining to the annual
