The new liquor regulations drawn
up at a recent meeting of the board
OF license commissioners, which met
with a great deal of opposition on the
part of the wholesalers, will go into

spector and the deputies will be open
ed at that time, and customers desir-
ing to buy liquor supplies to take home
must call on the inspector and secure
requisition for the goods. All orders
which call for more than six quarts

Is fluid ounces of gin, l gallon of sake,
or one quart Of any other intoxicating
liquor, must be accompanied by re-
QUESTION signed by the customer and
countersigned by the inspector or one
of his deputies. In case person tele-
phones an order to a wholesaler, he
should first sign a number of requisi-
ton blanks at the dealers, and when
the order is placed, have the dealer
present the requisition to the inspec-
tor for approval.
In order to accommodate the 5
o'clock trade, the hour for the sale Of
