THE 3IORTNG OKEGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, JUXiT 19, 1903 1 FOR N EW BOX OR D ER It May Be Passed at Session of Council. PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE Will Be 3Iore Moderate Than the One Now In Existence and 'H1 Come Before the Council Today. .Borne important matters are scheduled to come before the Council meeting: this afternoon, but the one overshadowing- all others is the question relating to the re peal of the box ordinance now in exist ence. That this measure will be repealed, and one of a middle-of-the-road char acter adopted in its stead seems probable. The new ordinance will be introduced by Councilman Gray, unless present plans miscarry, and it is believed that It will receive the support of a majority of the members. In effect it prohibits the retail Bale of liquor in any saloon, bar-room or restaurant of this city in any sideroom, backroom, upper-room or other apart ment in the same or adjoining building whlch shall have a floor space of less than 160 square feet, and shall not main tain therein or connect therewith any al cove, booth or box which is not so con structed as to be open upon the side facing any hall, hallway, passageway or room. Provision is made against the main tenance of side entrances of any sort for any particular class of customers, but there is nothing In the new law to prohibit the serving of liquor to guests of .hotels having a valid license, nor shall it apply to restaurants in which spirit ous. malt, or fermented liquors or wines are not sold, and in which such box, booth, stall or private room Is so con structed as to be open on the side facing any hall, hallway, passageway, or room, and the sides thereof do not exceed seven feet in height. 'Mayor Lane stated last night that the proposed ordinance had been submitted to him for inspection, but that he had found no time to give it any more than casual consideration. When asked wheth er or not he thought it was a compromise between the lquor interests and the Municipal Association, he replied that Tie was under the impression" it emanated from the liquor Interests. The Mayor would not say whether Tie would sign it or not, pleading an insufficiency of light upon the subject to make him competent to pass Judgment upon any of its features. A president of the Council may be elected this afternoon. HEEL 13 OH ODESSA REBELS SEORETXiY TRIED AND SENT TO SIBERIA.
