"Informal discussion, of a revised
city ordinance which would per
mit the sale of beer and other
allegedly non-lntoxlcating liquors
la Salem was had last night at a
round-table meeting held at the
Marlon hotel, Walter Fuhrer,,
alderman, acting with Frank
Needham, also a member of the
city council, aa hosts.
The proposed ordinance, wmcn
posed orainance, wmcn
may come beiore tne councu mon-i
day night, would so change the
existing ordinance dealing wun
liquor sales in Salem, that all
liquors deemed non-intoxicating
could be handled without restric
tions. Allan- Carson, attorney,
who represented local retailers In
framing the ordinance, told the
councilmen, eight of whom at
tended the meeting, that In his
judgment the new measure did
sot nullify the existing charter
amendment which prohibits sale
of Intoxicating liquors in Salem.
Woald Not License,
Merely Permit Sale
Carson pointed out that the
new ordinance, contrary to the
one which failed to carry at a re
cent council meeting, did not
license beer's sale or provide for
revenue, thus avoiding a possible
lawsuit over Its conflict with the
charter.
Carson also Indicated that the
proposed ordinance would act as a
step-gap between the present time
and July 21 when cltisens of Sa
lem will be asked to vote upon a
permanent basis for handling
beer's sale in the city.
In calling the meeting to order,
Fnnrer explained that he wished
all viewpoints to be expressed
without rancor and urged council
men present to put out of their
minds the "unfortunate" situation
which arose at the council meet
ing when the beer selling proposal
was defeated.
Dislike Seeing Money
For Beer Leave Town
Fuhrer said many Salem busi
ness men were anxious to handle
beer rather than see the revenue
from it go to out-of-town dealers
who were springing up since the
circuit court here dismissed the
Injunction, which for the last six
weeks has restrained city officers
from arresting local dealers tor
selling beer.
William S. Walton, local bank
er, spoke informally, his remarks
dealing entirely with the situation
In the hop market. He pointed
oat that more than $600,000 of
cash had come into the Salem
, territory In the last SO days
f through hop sales, thus permlt-
i ting much liquidation of debt
and infusion of new money into
the community.
Alderman Henry Vandevort,
who vigorously opposed the pre
vious beer ordinance. Indicated he
would not favttr the new proposal.
Vandevort stated that he would
prefer to leave the entire question
of liquor's sale in Salem a matter
to be decided by the voters Jaly
21. Several other councilmen In
dicated they would stand with
Vandevort, These Included Alder
men Dane, Henderson and Wilkin
son. Alderman Watson Townsend
asked several questions about the
proposed ordinance and Alderman
O. A. Olson made a non-committal
talk on the proposal. Alderman
Carl Armpriest said he thought
the council should permit local
merchants to make such profits as
are possible from beer's sale.
Mayor Douglas McKay said he
had not favored the first ordin-
anee proposed and detested by tne
council inasmuch as he thought it
circumvented the charter. Mc
Kay indicated that the proposed
ordinance, approved by local busi
ness men, was not contrary to his
views although he pointed out
that he did not have a vote. Mc
Kay held the November vote on
the Anderson act in this county
might well be Interpreted as a
plebiscite from Salem citizens, on
which the councu could make us
decision ia revising the ordinance
bow in effect, prohibiting the sale
f beer. -'
Several members present aver-
' red that the proposed new ordin
ance woald undoubtedly be sub
ject to court action, and that an
injunction might be granted
which would tie up sale of beer
locally until after the July 21
ejection. -. . r
After the conference, in which
food feeling prevailed between
all parties present,' Alderman
Fuhrer said he was uncertain as
, to whether or not he would intro
duce the revised ordinance tomor
row night.
Several of the so-called "dry"
aldermen said they would stand
firm against the ordinance and in -
iiAtet the had at least eizht
votes pledged against it. -
