Has Given Orders to Stop Sale of
Liquor in Fallon
No action on the proposed paving
of the streets of Fallon was taken
at the meeting of the city council
held Tuesday night for the purpose
of discussing routes and expenses.
A number of taxpayers were present
at the meeting but due TO the lack
of information on the subject there
was little discussion.
City Engineer Crehore announced
that he had not yet heard from Car
son City regarding the state plan of
roads through Fallon and that it
was not yet known what route
would be adopted.
In asking for expressions of opin-
ions from the taxpayers Mayor
Clarke stated that it is a question
of Importance to the people of the
community and that the council had
deemed it advisable to request the
people to take part in settling it.

that the upkeep of bad roads would
be of considerable expense through
out the years.
Councilman Flood stated that his
opinion was that the taxpayers were
not in favor of paving at this time.
Councilman Benadum was of the
same opinion.
W. T. Dudley stated that if the
city would grade Taylor street the
county would gravel it. He added
that he would furnish two teams for
the purpose of grading it, from the
bridge south to the county line.
Can Get Federal Aid
City Attorney A. L. Haight stated
that the city was sure to obtain fed
eral aid for the paving, if the at
tempt was made to get it, providing
the population did not grow to more
than $500. There is practically no
difference between the primary and
secondary routes through this state,
due to the lack of highway funds in
the other counties, he added.
John Sell presented a petition TO
have the water and sewage system
extended to McLane street requiring
about coo feet of pipe line. 1t was
moved and passed to allow the water
or sewage or both as soon as funds
were available.
1t was decided to have the city
attorney advertise for bids for
water extension bond issue of $25,-
600 at six per cent, retirable after
six years.
Mayor Talks About Liquor
In speaking of the Illicit liquor
traffic that he said is supposed to be
carried on in Fallon, Mayor Clark
stated that he had given the chief
of police instructions as to what he
wanted done. 4 have told them to
watch carefully what goes on on
Maine street, he said. "As mayor l
am merely acting as chairman of
the board of eouncilmen," he con-
tinued, and expressed a desire to
obtain the opinions of the members
of the council regarding his action.
Boys Still Active, Says
Clark, after referring to his re-
marks of two weeks ago concerning
the manufacture and sale of liquor
by minors. stated that he had been
told that a young man of II years of
age had recently paid a visit to
friend who lives out of town. They
had had a drink at his friends house
and then started to drive to town.
Before they reached the city limits,
he added. they had enjoyed the hos
pitality of two more young men liv-
ing on the road to town and that
when the preached Fallon they had
evidently partaken too freely.
May Revoke Licenses
Benadum stated that citizens had
complained to him that liquor was
being sold over the bar and that the
city officials were not taking due dill
igenee to see that it is stopped He
then asked if 1t were not possible
to revoke the licenses, of men sup
posed to be selling liquor, without
having legal proof
Haight said that all that was nee
essary was reasonable grounds to
believe that the ywere violating the
laws.
The marshal was instructed to re-
port to the council any supposed vio-
lations. He was told that no proof
was necessary, only some fact that
would lead him to believe that liq-
uor was being sold and the licenses
would be revoked.
