To the Mayor and Members of the City Council,
City.
Gentlemen:
-
Because of the fact under the -.present- laws of .the_ State
no penalty is provided -to be imposed upona manor for entering
&--saloon, and because many times he can enter said saloon and
misrepresent his age to the -bar-tender dispensing intoxicants
and have said intoxicant served to him, and still not be subject
to any penalty whatsoever, while the owner of said saloon,
because of misrepresentation to him on the part of the minor,,
may loose or, Iforfe it his license because -of serving to a minor,
I therefore take pleamre in presenting an ordinance which
will place a penalty on any person under the age of twenty-one
years of age, or any student o -E any Institut ion of learning
from entering or remaining in any saloon, bar -room, house or
place of business where malt., vinous,--spiri.tuous__o_z any -
other intoxicating liquor is sold. I request that this ordinance
be referred to the ordinance committee- ffor -their consideration
and then tefer-red to the Council for their action on same.
