MAYOR SAYS LIQUOR
ORDINANCE WILL Be
STRICTLY EMF ORCED

According to a statement issued
yesterday, end signed by Mayor Hin
richs and Commissioner Pou, unlicen-
sed places where liquor is sold K
Pensacola will be stopped. Speaking
of the proclamation, Mayor Hin
richs said: 1--WE mean just what
that says. We are going to stop the
illegal sale of whiskey-here even if
we have to import detectives to run
down the places and get the proof
against violators."
Commissioner Pou said: "While we
do not know that such unlawful liquor
business is going on here, we have
been told on good authority that such
exists to some extent. And it must
be stopped. That proclamation means
just what we say. 1t will be followed
to the letter."
It is understood that instructions
have been issued in the police depart
ment to keep sharp lookout on all
places where it is suspected that
liquor has been or is now being sold
unlawfully, and that all such places
proceeded against. A number who
are known to have been connected
with such suspected lines, and who
have thus far not sought license to
do business either as licensed retail
saloons or tipping houses, have been
reported in operation, and this rumor
applying to all concerned, will be
proved, and if sufficient ground is dis
covered, action viii follow.
