Restrictions on liquor-selling es-
adjustments, as provided in the Sec
ond attempt of Republican Alder
man Joseph Reiner, were provided
in an ordinance last night which
eight Republican aldermen passed
over the united vote Of the seven
Democrats.
The ordinance provides that no
new package store may be estab-
lished within $50 feet of an existing
package store, and places the same
territorial restrictions on establish
ment of taverns, grills and restau-
rants within the area stipulated
and where other liquor-purveying
places of like category are existent
Liquor selling establishments of
other classifications may be estab-
lished, however, to wit: A package
store may be located beside a res.
taurant with a liquor license, pro-
vided there is not another package
store within the $50 feet stipulated
The ordinance provides, also, that
suspension of the license of some
present liquor-purveying establish
ment will mean that the concern
may not re-enter business.
In line with restrictive legislation

nance, Alderman Burton II. Walker,

To all Of the organizations, de-

sisting the State Highway DEPART
ment In the work OF rehabilitation,
Commissioner william J. Cox today
issued the following statement:
Although there Is much work yet
to be done and the full extent OF the
damage to the State highways and
bridges has not been aScertained, I
desire TO take this first opportunity
TO express my appreciation OF the
very splendid cooperation the High
way Department has received from
other State departments, and from
town, city and borough officials,
public utilities, corporations and In
dividuals.
The work OF the department has
been very materially advanced by
the whole hearted assistance reciev-
ed from all.
This expression Of appreciation is
also extended to those members Of
the department upon whom has
fallen the greater part Of the actual
physical work. These men, whether
regular or temporary employees,
worked increasingly and loyalty long
hours, laboring many days contin-
uously with only a brief interlude
for essential food and rest.
Now that the worst conditions
have been surmounted this devotion
to duty will further assist the de-
partment in the readjustment pro-
gram that has been outlined.
