Restaurant men claim that no matter how much they urge cus- toners to sit down at @ table and not to stand at the bar and no matter how many signs they have on display forbidding imbibing at the bar, their customers pay no att tention. Waterburians, 1t seems, like to take their liquor standing up at the bar, as they did in "thc good, old days" of the pre-Prohibition era.
 United Action
 Definite action on the suggestion to cage in bars in restaurants and grills is expected at e meeting in the near future. As proposed, tho plan calls for a wire netting or wooden or metal grill-work between the bar and the rest of the restaur: ant. A slot or two would be pro- vided though drinks could be served. The plan, according to It's sponsors, is the only way to make local pa- irons abide by the state law.
 With the state general assembly to convene next year and with e bitter election campaign expected this fall, the restaurant permittees feel that they should take every precaution to safeguard their li- censes. State inspectors have been, seen in Waterbury with consider able frequency of late, which is an- other reason why permit holders want to see if they can't make their customers obey statutes.
 Fear Prosecution
 One or two local ablishments have built in wooden counters flush with their bars, and serve drinks across the bar to this shelf, thereby hoping to get around the law. But the majority of licensees are afraid that the liquor commission won't take too kindly to this plan.
