City Attorney (loss has called at tention of some of the members of the Mnrshlleld city council to tho provisions of the local saloon ordi nance which requires saloons to hnvo front windows facing on streets with nothing to obstruct plain view of the interior from the sidewalk. Few of the saloons have fully complied with the ordinance nnd somo that have re cently been alteiod nud Improved do not comply at all with the ordlnnnce. It Is expected that the matter will bo brought up at the next meeting of the city council and threshed out. F.ithor tho liquor men will bo requir ed to comply with the order or the provision will be changed and tho latter Is scarcely likely. In remodeling the saloon f touts recently, a plan has been followed of putting In n small room In fiont that cm ho rented as n shining par lor, cigar counter or something of the kind, bringing good Income. The saloon ordinance was adopted sometime ago but this piovlsiou has been overlooked.
