 Prohibition Law

Hartford, Feb. Rehabilitation of the prohibition laws to permit the manufacture, distribution and sale of wholesale beers and light wines was recommended in resolution passed by the common council of this city last night following a long dis cussion.
 The resolution declares that the federal prohibition act has failed to meet with approval of the general public throughout the country; that efforts to enforce the act of great public expense has utterly failed to obtain for it respect and obedience; that unimpeached statisticsT demon strate that the general public Is op- posed to existing prohibition laws, and that it is the sense of the coun- cil that the federal Congress and the state amend and modify the existing prohibition laws to permit nanufac- ture, distribution and sale of whole some beer and light wines.
 An amendment struck from the resolution a clause reconmend ding that the income from permission to make and distribute beer and wine be devoted to a soldiers bonus. The resolution will be transmitted to the President, Congress and the Cover nor of the state.
