City Attorney John h. Scott Finds
That City is Dry May
Instead of May 1.
TAKES EFFECT AT IL p. NJ.
Police TO Be Informed in Order to
Prevent Any Arrests Until
Rule is Effective.

Rock Island will be wet for one
more day than was ruled upon
some time ago.
The anti-saloon law will take eff
feet May = instead of May l. Saloons
will close their doors for good at IL
o'clock on May ..
This was announced by City At
torney John X Scott today. He
states that on further investiga-
ton of the law regarding the time
allowed after a city is voted dry he
finds that the law permits the sale
of liquor 80 days after a vote is
taken.
Section three of the local option
law reads as follows:
"A vote under the provision of
this act shall become operative on
the 30th day after the day of the
election at which such vote is cast. "
Section is reads:
Nothing in this act shall be con-
stTued to forbid or prevent the sale
of intoxicating liquor for the per-
iod of so days next after the vote
shall have been taken in the anti
saloon territory thereby created"
Inform Police.
Therefore retail and wholesale
liquor dealers in Rock Island are
t. have "a hours more in which to
dispose of their supply of liquor.
Mr.. Scott states that he will inform
the paIice department regarding the
change in order that no arrests may
take place until the city is made
dry according to law.

quicksilver, which cost "a pound. 1t
