Municipal League and Saloon
Interests Drift Apart.
BOX ORDINANCE THE CAUSE
IJoth Sides to Controversy Claim
They Have Majority of Council.
Leaguers Stand Pat. Against
Attempt to Repeal Law.
The City Attorney holds that under
the provisions of ordinance No. 14020,
known as the "anti-box ordinance," It
would be unlawful for a restaurant
havlnu a license to sell wines or
liquors, to serve a banquet at which
beer or wines are served, except In the
main dining-room.
He holds further that it would be
unlawful to serve a private dinner
party without reference to the sire of
the room. If the same be not in the
main room, as the ordinance makes It
unlawful for saloons or restaurants to
maintain private dining-rooms.
"The ordinance distinctly prohibits
maintenance of any separate entrance
for ladles or other class of persons,"
said City Attorney SIcNarj". in answer
to an Inquiry yesterday upon the sub
ject. "The Rathskeller in the Port
land Hotel would not come within the
inhibition of the ordinance," he con
tinued, 'owing to the fact that hotels
are exempted In this particular.
"It would be unlawful for any per
son not doing a hotel business to main,
tain what Is known as a 'Rathskeller.'
feparate from the main entrance or
place where business is carried on.
I am not prepared to say whether or
not the ladles' grill In the place known
as the Tavern would be considered a
(separate apartment from the main
dining-room, owing to the peculiar
construction -of this resort. I have
not been in the same. If It should be,
however. It would be unlawful to sell
liquor therein, or to maintain it for
liquor-serving purposes."
It begins to look as If the chasm
separating the local liquor interests and
the Municipal League Is growing: wider
and wider, and that no definite results
can be expected from the conference
that took place last Tusdeay in the
Mayor's office between the two warring
factions over the operations of the box
ordinance. It seems to be quite cer
tain that tho Municipal League is go
ing to stand pat on the proposition, and
It was hinted quite freely last night
by those prominent in their councils
that they are masters of the situation.
The issue now seems to be whether
the Municipal League will be able to
control the City Council, 11 of whose
members It opposed at the recent elec
tion. The liquor Interests claim to be
in a position to repeal the present law
entirely, while the Municipal Leaguers
scoff at the idea, and assert that the
liquor men will havo their hands full
to secure even a bare majority in the
Council, let alone the necessary two
thirds vote of Its members, in order to
pass a new ordinance over any possible
veto of the Mayor.
Both sides are preserving- a state of
armed neutrality, and unless the unex
pected happens during the interval of
the next meeting of the city lawmak
ers, the prospects are more than flat
tering for a battle royal between the
two rival elements.
History of Ordinance.
The inside history of the present or
dinance is in itself interesting to a high
Jegree. It was originally demanded,
so the story goes, by tho Municipal Ab
sociation from the late Council at a
period when the Matthews machine was
laying Its ropes to catch the Municipal
League vote for Stott and Reed for
Sheriff and District Attorney, respec
tively, against Word and Manning. The
measure was drafted by the liquor li
cense committee of the Council, com
posed of B. D. Sigler. A. K. Bentley, L.
Zimmerman, Sandford Whiting and A.
F. Flegel, and a committee appointed
by the Municipal League, consisting of
W. W. Cotton, O. P. M. Jamleson, Miller
Murdoch. W. J. Honeyman and W. L.
Johnston.
Hotel Was Protected.
It is asserted that while the ordi
nance was being drafted the Idea pre
vailed of protecting the Hotel Portland,
and with that object In view a man was
(sent to measure the Turkish room ad
joining the rathskeller of the hotel, so
that an ordinance could be drawn ac
cordingly, and it is claimed that tho
dimensions of the Turkish room cor
respond with exceeding nicety to the
160-square feet provision of the ordi
nance that is now prox-ing such a dis
turbing element in certain quarters.
The second section of the ordinance
provides In effect that meals and
drinks may be served in dining-rooms
containing not less than 160 square
feet, but the first section contains a
clause that liquor can only bo
old in the main dining-room, and in
no other room or side room, and Mayor
lane construes this feature of the
measure.
Tne liquor men claim that they are
not contending in any way for a closed
hox. The controlling influences of the
liquor interests apparently recognize
in it an evil the regulation of which is
so difficult that they consider it better
to eliminate it altogether, but they
srenuously object, after conceding this
point, to the radical provisions of the
present ordinance, which, they assert,
would absolutely prevent the mainte
nance of any booths or alcoves, no mat
ter how open or public they might be.
and which also prohibits private dinner
parties, and practically insists that if
any person wants to eat or drink in
any place that serves liquor, they must
do so in the main dining-room.
