Show No Compromise. A committee of the liquor dealers who propose to fight the city, if the license is not reduced to their figure, waited upoo mayor Wells yesterday, and informed him they were willing to pay $150 a quarter the sum payable monthly by the present ordinance, and half the sum required by the old ordinance per month. As the mayor had no authority to accede to their proposition, he informed them they should petition the city council; but we presume the old game of fight will be resorted to. Judging by events scarcely to old as to be strictly historical, histori-cal, the liquor dealers will be sustained, so far as injunctions and prohibitions and things of that kind go for a time. |
