Show Mafiee To The Public Having received numerous inquiries concerning the opening of pool halls and the sale of light wines and beer in this town, it may be well to answer these inquiries through the columns of the local paper. Nothing can be bartered or sold in pool or billiard halls in this city, not even bibles or hymn books. Don't look for the sale of any intoxicants by license cr otherwise. The state constitution will not be amended amend-ed or repealed for a long time to come and this city cannot can-not license a business contrary to the state laws. For the present, at least, there will be no bar3 taken dfnvn, or eyes closed, as to the violation of the state laws or city ordinances. Prosecutions will be made ot all violations of the law. We are not trying to keep pace or gallop over law and order in thi3 city as other more metropolitan cities are expected to do. There will be no quarters given to any violation of the prohibition or other laws. W. P. WINTERS, Mayor. |
