sums up suop
I LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 30.—
j John Barleycorn terminated his legal
(ized activities in Los Angeles tonight
at twelve o’clock when the saloons and
wholesale houses closed their doors
for the last time. A new ordinance,
effective Monday, morning, will pre
vent their re-opening next week, or
thereafter, and a city ordinance re
quiring them to close on Sunday cut
one more day off their lease of life.
An injunction suit, recently brought
by two “taxpayers,” to prevent the
operation of the new dry ordinance,
has not been finally disposed of, but
nearly all the liquor men conceded
defeat, and there was no disposition to
insist on a court ruling before they
would obey the ordinance, which was
adopted at an election held here sev
eral months ago.
* Los Angeles has had a maximum of
208 saloons and 92 liquor houses, but
since the agitation for local option be
came marked the number has been de
creasing. In the past few weeks,
since the dry ordinance wras adopted
at the special election, numerous
dealers have surrendered their li
I censes, and others have consolidated
I their establishments, so that only
about 125 saloons and 75 wholesale
houses continued in business until
the last night,
s
The city has charged each saloon
monthly license of $175 and each
P wholesaler a monthly license of $100.
The annual revenue from this source
has approximated $500,000. The de
crease of revenue consequent upon
cutting off these fees was one of the
arguments advanced for retaining the
e saloons, but the dry forces pointed to
i lessened police expense in other cities
I which had gone dry, with the claim
p that one would offset the other.
Liquor is not entirely barred from
. x "■ T-tr-..i..
Los Angeles, however, as the new or
dinance—called the Gaudier ordinance,
it having been largely drafted by Dr.
D. M. Gandier of the anti-saloon league
-^-permits the sale of light wine, carry
ing a low content of alcohol, with
meals in hotels and restaurants at
stated hours, and also permits the
sale of “package goods” under certain i
rigid restrictions.
Most of the saloon owners and
wholesale dealers have arranged to
embark in other lines of business.
Several of the better located cafes
will be converted into tea rooms and
soft drink establishments, according
to the owners.
For the past few weeks, wholesalers
have been disposing of stock at low
prices, and so called “package houses”
have cut their prices to clear up their
stocks. Wholesalers and package
goods dealers report that many of the
liquor users have laid in private stocks
in sufficient quantities to meet their
requirements for many months.
There was no disorder with the clos
ing of the saloons, although numerous
convivial parties saw the doors locked
for the last time. The police had been
instructed to take extra precautions
against drunkenness or disorder, and
there were few reports of such petty
offenses.
