It will be effective December 6, Then It la expected tbe final ratifica tion convention will be held and the federal bars to hard drinks will be dropped. Bute Challenged In addition to imposing strict control over liquor sale and con aumption here, the ordinance la in fact a direct challenge to the proposed state plan for operating liquor dispensaries. This point was emphasized by Mayor W. E. Mahoney when he announced the details ot the ttrdlnance Monday morning. "We challenge tha right of the legislature to enact a state law putting the state Into the liquor business and taking the control and power for regulation away from the city," said Mahoney. "If the state makes any such at tempt, we ahall stand on our state constitutional rights, and If necessary will go Into the courts to protect our authoriy." The governor's state liquor eontrol committee recently adopt ed recommendations calling for state liquor dispensaries nnd vesting control of liquor distribu tion in a state commission.

Observers pointed out that the local ordinance follows the Cana dian liquor plan quite closely, cept that it calla tor private oper ators of liquor stores instead ot state. Mayor Mahoney said it waa modeled directly on the On tario plan. The ordinance prohibits the operation ot any "bar-room, drinking shop, drinking saloon, tippling house, club room, club house, or any other place or places" for tha purpose of hand ling liquor, excepting the city-licensed bottle-liquor store. This is defined as a building within a designated area ot the city, where spirituous and vinous liquors may be kept and aold in original packages or container ot (Carlinued on Page Eight) Highlights of , Hard Liquor Liquor purchasable in bottle houses exclusively. Liquor cannot be consumed on the premises where purchased, but the container must be taken, unopened, to the place of domicile of the purchaser. ' The bottle house cannot any other line of business. A fee of $250 will be charged annually against each liquor store for purposes of regulation and con trol only. The operator must file a bond of $2500, forfeitable on violation of the ordinance. No liquor can be sold to an intoxicated person or a person under 21 years of age. ' The council has the right to designate in what liquor zone the bottle house can be operated. Drug stores are permitted to sell by prescription of physician, but liquor thus purchased cannot be con sumed on premises.'
