of Liquor.
Adoption Depends on Report OF
Chairman Hoover of tho National
Economy Board Who Is Making "a
Study OF Conditions.

WASHINGTON, April I9.-Certain
forces in the council of national de
fense will recommend that the presi
dent take drastic action to stop com
pletelg the manufacture and sale of
liquor throughout the United States.
According to reports compiled for
the United Press, war prohibition
would close one thousand three hun
dred and thirty-three breweries and
six hundred and five distilleries. Some
members of the national defense
council believe strongly that the ma
tons imperative need Of the six
billion pounds OF foodstuffs going in
to the manufacture OF liquor is suf-
ficient reason for the government to
follow the example oI certain Euro
pean nations that the people and ar
my may have food Whether the pro-
hibition will be adopted Immediately
or later will probably depend upon
the report of Chairman Hoover of the
national economy board. who viii

n. P. MUST SHARE IN
WEBB STREET PAVING
Railroad Company WIN BE Required
To Pave between Its Tracks; Ter
petuaI Care Ordinance for Gene
uery Passed.

East Webb street paving proceed
ings were held up for a week by thu
council last evening while provisions
are made in the resolutions to com
pei the Northern Pacific co. to pave
between the tracks on its Webb
street right of way. The city attor-
ney ON motion was instructed to take
such steps as may be necessary to re-
quire the company TO pave between its
tracks. not only from college to Court
but along the entire webb street right
OF way
There seems but little doubt that
the East Webb street proceedings will
go through but it was the sense of
the council that white property own
ers are paving for the improvement
the Northern Pacific should not es-
cape its share of the Improvement
work. The council also discussed the
matter OF requiring the o.-W. to pave
between its tracks on Main street
crossings
r.. NJ. Mavherry called the atten-
tion of the council TO the fact that
there is no sanitary sewer on Willow
street and that one should be put in
before the IEoposed pavement is laid.
Perpetual Care Ordinance.
An ordinance was passed last even
ing providing for trust funds to Sc
cure perpetual care FOR a lot at the
cemetery. The ordinance provides FOR
charge OF $50 lot or part or
lot greater than one-half and 500
Tor a half lot or less. This money
will be placed at interest and will
earn enough to keep-up the lots for
ever. The lots viii fDe marked spec
tally.
An ordinance authorizing con-
tract with John ID. Wells for the con.
struction Of the bungalow at the cem-
eterv was passed.
The council adopted the recon-
mendRtion OF the light committee FOR
an arc light at the corner OF West
Court and Hazel streets and also for
$50 watt lamp at the intersection
OF Bluff and Ann streets.
Mayor Best was in La Grande with
the Moose last evening and Chairman
