Prohibition to Be Instituted
'GraduaIIy and in Prudent
Manner.
BY GESFORD F. FINE,
United Press staff Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, May 15.-Prohibi-
ton in Mexico will be instituted
gradually and in prudent man
ner," President Emilio Portes Gil as
sured the public in his >f1rsa state
ment on the methods he will use to
make Mexico dry.
Since first announcing he would
begin campaign against alcohol in
Mexico, Portes Gil has insisted he
was opposed to "repressive meas
ures," and the proposals before the
public today outlined a steadily
tightening anti-wet drive, accom-
panied by intensive propaganda in
every available field.
Success of the drive will depend
chiefly on the attitude of the next
administration, since Portes Oils
term of Office ends Feb. 5, 1880.
Portes Gil said a national commit
tee would direct the movement, as
sisted by subcommittee of various
state departments including the
national health section.
Civilians and technicians will be
included in the national committees
membership.
In it's first form, the drive will
limit the sale of hard liquors, such
as gin, whisky and absinthe, and lat
er will prohibit their manufacture.
At the outset, whiskies and gins

One Year; Engineer
Criticised.

Construction of the Broad Ripple

under the last sanitary board, will

Engineer A. H. Moore said today.
Moore and 3. J. T. Jeup, majority

action on the plan, submitted by
Charles H. Hurd, consulting engi-
neer, who has been working on the

Der. opposed dropping Hurds plan
Ross urged that work be rushed
on revised plans. He said the
boards route is less desirable than
Hurd's plan"
The line proposed and recon-
mended by Hurd would be less ex-
pensiye in construction and hydraul-
ically IT would be more nearly ideal"
Jeup declared the S427.500 esti-
mate IN Hurd's plan is 100000 too
high"
Hurds proposals are incomplete
not in accordance with food pre-
vention plans and do not provide
capacity to properly care for the
sewage for the next ten-year
period, Jeup charged.
In my judgment. such a sewer
should have capacity to serve
population for a period Of from
twenty to twenty-five years at
least" Jeup said. He criticised
Hurds plan which provided four
river crossings in the route to the
sewage plant southwest of the city.
Action Of the board resulted from
numerous private conferences.
Mayor L. Ert Slack refused to
choose a plan, referring the matter
% the board to settle among
themselves"
We should have a substitute
plan before the board in thirty days.
We could not have finished the

said.
