A resolution regulating the sale and
consumption Of beer in the unincor-
porated villages Of Burleigh county.
which follows closely the Bismarck
city ordinance in essential parts. was
adoptN unanimously by the board Of
county commissioners at special
meeting Thursday forenoon.
Among villages affected by the or
6inance are Sterling, Moffit. McKen-
zie, Driscoll. Arena, Still, Baldwin
and Menoken.
The main differences between the
county and city regulations are in
license fees. in which county assess
nlerts are lower. and Sunday hours
during which sale of beer is per-
mitted.
States Attorney George 8. Register
told the commission that the county
has no power to regulate except in
"unincorporaed villages in Burleigh
county, which villages are in existence
prior to Oct. q, 1888, the plats OF
which are Of record prior to said Oct.
|23, 1888" The city Of Bismarck regu-
lates sale within its limits. Outside
|of these two classifications. Register
said. the state beer commissioner will
have power to regulate.
Must Issue License
Whenever the state beer commits
sioner issues q license, the states at
torney said. the county also must
issue q license. But the county board
has the right to revoke such license
for cause. Revocation is the only
penalty set up in the resolution,
which became effective as soon as i
was passed. a
The resolution distinguishes be-
tween off-sale (wfere beer is not con-
sumed on the premises where sold)
and on-sale (wrere 1t is consumed on
premises) but makes no provision that
a vendor who desires on-sale also
must have an off-sale permit.
The regular annual fee for off-sale
permits was set at SIS. with the fee
for on-salc permits SOS additional!
The fees for the remainder Of this
year, however, UP to Dec. 81. 1888
were set at SO for off-sale and S. for
Cn-Sale.
Though unincorporated villages, as
far as is known, do not now have
lodges or clubs affiliated with ma
tional organizations which operate
their own club rooms, provision was
set up for licensing such establish
ments should they come into exist
ence. An annual fee Of SIS Is pro-
vided In such cases.
Maximum IL $40
Register pointed out that maximum
total fees for vendors In unincor
porated villages will not be more thar
$40, declaring the federal assess
ment $50. the state assessment moi
more than $50 with minimum Of
SIS provided and the county fee no,
more than $40.
One section Of the resolution per-
mits sale Of beer on Sundays only
between the hours Of IL tnoon) anc
l6 D. m. The Bismarck city ordin.
ance prohibits sale from 3 a. m. un.
til IL (noon).
The county prohibits sale to minors
incompetents, Indians, and drunkard'
and, similar to the city Of Bismarck
provides a list of several causes To-
revocation Of licenses, providing to-
hearings in such cases.
Establishment Of beer-vendint
business places within 300 feet o
churches, schools or hospitals IS pro
hibited.

nesses where beer is to be sold. Tht
provision Is aimed at chain store ant
brewery.owned establishments.
