City Attorney Trantham has adj
dressed letter to the proprietors of
cool drink establishments in the city
requesting that they discontinue the
practice of serving drinks to people
at the curb in front of their places of
business. Mr.. Trantham has been in
structed to prepare an ordinance COW

lieves that the parties at interest will
voluntarily stop the custom, and if
this is done there will be no necessity
of making law on the subject.
Those of the merchants effected who
have been interviewed by the Star
are well pleased at tn suggestion, as
the inconvenience and extra work of
serving drinks on the sidewalks is
considerable.
