To sum up my observations of the

CLARIFYING SITUATION
Attorney General Pollard Says Bach
elors Cannot Have Liquor in Their
Boarding Houses.

In regard to the possession and
transportation of ardent spirits by
unmarried men in the city, Attorney
General Pollard has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Recent publications in the news
papers show widespread misappre-
hension as to the alleged ruling OF
the atto-ney-genera in relation to
the rights under the prohibition law
of bachelors living in hotels and
boarding-houses. The law in this
particular does not discriminate
against the bachelors; neither bache-
lors nor married men can have ardent
spirits in hotels or boarding houses
except transient guests may have
one quart, not to be opened or used
or given away while in said hotel
or clearinghouse.
This is no construction placed by
the attorney general on a doubtful
provision of the statute, but section
81 of the act expressly says that the
word "home" as used in the act
shall not be construed to include a
:" room Of guest in hotel
or boarding house provided that any
transient guest may carry in his
baggage for the bona fide use OF
himself or family not in excess Of
one quart of ardent spirits, the same
not to be opened or used during his
stay in said hotel or boarding house"
This is plain provision of the
law and neither the prohibition COM
missioner nor the encouragement
nor any other officer has any right
to change or ignore it.
The law places the enforcement Of
the prohibition act in the hands of
the prohibition commissioner, and i
would have nothing TO say on the
subject if it were not for the fact
that many articles are appearing
in the newspapers showing mis-
of the rulings CT this
office.
