THE POPLIN ‘Iun|LICENSE ORDINANCEr51.A Proposition to Regulate these vpert i iiiieSaloons of the County.oo It Recognizes Ventura as a Placewetor,(liemaula» I Where the County Exercises No 1 FIItill-Jurisdiction.r iWe take the following synopsis of the Poplin Saloon ordinance from the Ventura Free Press. It is a very generous ordinanee and allows Oxnard 11saloons Our people, we believe, would be willing to discount that more than 50'«. No Supervisor from this section I would represent public opinion if he)asupported more than the restrictive portions of the ordinance:*et“The ordinance proposed by Mr. Poplin provides for the sale of liquor under license anti with restrictions. Its'Ioffltraprincipal features are:—Licenses are to - be granted upon application in writing yu i 1 to those whom the Supervisors deem j worthy, the application to lie accompanied by a bond with two sureties in the sum of $2lt;Hmi and a certified cheek of $300, Tiie maximum number ofof ient wilamlicenses granted shall at any one time pr, te twenty-six, apportioned as follows:1 Hueneme 3, Saticoy 2, Santa Paula 3,»| El Rio 3, Oxnard 11, Fillmore 1, Piru ■ Mlu 1, Nordhoflf 1. Licenses now in force !0U, shall tie valid until expiration. No va| minors or women allowed to loaf or (thtCo1 I loiter in saloons; no gambling, singing, , jZilmusic, prize-fighting allowed; no wo-1 pn men to la* employed and no liquor sold pv to minors or women. All places must f j be closed on or tie fore midnight. On | motion of Mr. Hartman, seconded by 1 Mr. (iatiliert, both ordinances wereantertaken under advisement. A motion of Mr. Touch ton, to amend the original motion setting Fiiday af ernoon as the time for consideration was lost. Inpolprtco itoexplaining his vote upon the motion to take the matter under advisement, Mr. Gabtiert said: “All the members ofpr.aCoUltlit*yo( to Itii s Board except myself are on record evon ttie question now under considers*tion. Before I place myself on record I desire to secure legal advice on several points bearing upon the question.” He 1 s,., stated that the people had passed an jordinance and it was supposed to lie gj, the law. He did not see why it was pjnecessary to have another law. He; teiwas in doubt whether the Hoard had }sthe right to pas* another ordinanee, and if it hud whether the ordinanceho panned would take precedence over the peoples’ ordinance. Another point he wished decided was in regard ov to the condition of the licenses now ! Uiin force; would the ordinance if passed ru annul the licenses and if so must thecounty return the portion of iicetise jsofee unused. When these points had been answered hv the District Atfor-*. ney to his satisfaction, lie could act more intelligently. He stated furtherthat tie has never posed as a prolubi-j Mtiouist, nor does he believe it to he the 1 ***practical manner of handling the.** liquor traffic. He cited ttie troubles in Kansas today as an instance thatprohibition did not prohibit. Mr. j J* (vabbcrt said that he did not desire toInofollow his own ideas, however. The 01 people had voted by a large majority in favor of prohibition, they are now j ^ clamoring for it and if it could begranted legally, he was willing to passthe ordinance. And so the matter!*1wrests. The anti saloon men are asking eI“wheu will it te taken up again;” the saloon men look wise and say nothing.»sKfr
