SALOONS ARE TO
CLOSE ON MAY IS
City Council Members Express
Themselves as Favorable TO
Fractional Permits.

East Moline saloons Will not go
I out of business until May 10.
/ Members of the city council in a
? called session last evening, can
vassed the returns in the recent
/ election at which time the local
option issue carried by majority
OF 255, expressed themselves as
favorable to giving the saloon men
the 30-days of grace allowed under
/ the local option law in in order
TO dispose OF their stocks, instead
{ Of closing them up May l when
their licenses expire.
In order to do this ii will be
necessary for the council to pass
an ordinance providing for frac-
tional permits and to pass il be
fore the first of May will require
some hustling, inasmuch as City
Attorney George d. Long holds
that 10 days publication Will be re
quired after the passage of the
measure before it becomes eifec-
: tive, since it would have a penalty
clause. The city code now pro-
vides that liquor licenses shall be
only for a six months period.
Since the community voted dry
there has been some sentiment in
/ favor of allowing the men who are
voted out of business, so days OF
grace to dispose of their stocks
which in some instances at least
were heavy, but the question OF
getting a measure adopted while
the present council is still intact
was a problem.
At the meeting last evening
those successful at the polls last
Tuesday were formally declared
elected aldermen and can assume
their seats as soon as they take the
oath and file their bonds.
In order to have the new ordi-
nance passed before the first of May
when the liquor licenses expire, 1t
will be necessary for Mayor John
son to call the council together in
special session sometime today. al
lowing 10 days for publication.
Should the new measure be pass
ed then it would be up to the new
council to vote on granting such
fractional permits as saloon men
petitiOned for, to be paid for at a
rate OF one twenty-fourth OF 81 200,
the yearly fee.
Alderman w. H. Wilcox from the
First ward is said to have raised
the point that to allow the saloons
to remain open longer than May l
might subject the town to a deluge
of riff-raff for 10 days that would
not tend to give the place any favor
able mention at least Others felt
that in fairness to liquor men they
ought to be given the month allow
ed under the local option act to sell
out, if they desired to pay for tenn
pOrary permits.
Mayor George F. Johnson today
stated that at the meeting of the
council last evening, he informally
discussed the matter of temporary
permits with the four hold-oyer
members OF the council and all of
them with one exception favored
the plan Under these conditions.
he believes licenses should be
grained.
He is of the opinion. however,
that no ordinance will be necessary
and that the council can by resoIu-
ton and agreement make such
changes in the city code as are
necessary in order to issue a 15-day
liquor permit He says that this
can be done at the next meeting of
the council.
