cily election to be held next
December.
But the petition baa not yet been
filed with the recorder and it may
never be filed. The case brings op
a rather interesting development.
In the event of the petition being
filed it suspends the new ordinance
until after tne election in December
at least. But the new ordinance
repeals the old one, which provides
for the payment of a $500 license
fee, and in cafe the new one is not
in effect, the old one is, and those
who want to sell near beer would
have to pay f 500 annually for the
privilege.
The report is current about town
that the council is considering the
plan of enacting a new ordinance
to take the place of the one given
below, which will permit the sale
of near beer under a license of
about $100 annually, but no in
formation from an authoritative
source can be had on this point.
As it is the several drink coun
ters in town are selling near beer,
it being the understanding that
thirty days of grace will be allowed
in order to give them a chance to
dispose of the stock on hand at the
time the ordinance was passed.
The ordinance under discussion
follows. The other new ordinance
regulating the dog tax will be
found on the fourth page.
