VIOLATORS
An ordinance to prohibit the manufacture and sale of Intoxicating liquors was passed by the village council at their special meeting held in the
council chambers Tuesday night.
Although the manufacture and sale
of said intoxicating liquors has been
prohibited before, under the national
prohibition act, passed by congress
on October 28. 1919, the village, by
working under the above-mentioned
ordinance, will receive the total
amount of fines imposed upon violators iu Amherst. Heretofore, only
one-half of the fines were returned to
the municipalities.
Of the fines imposed upon the violators last Saturday night, which
amounted to $800, only 1400 will be
returned to the village. Under the
new ordinance, the village shall receive the entire amount.
As the village finances are In a bod
state of condition, timely boose raids
will come to aome aid, according to
the opinion of the council.
The council are of tbe opinion that
.Saturday night's raid will eat an example and Chat there are only a few
possibilities of a repetition or Saturday's proceedings.

COLUMBU8
Conservation of natural gus uud its
best distribution in case of extreme
coul shortage were vltul problems of
the fourth annual convention of the
Ohio Gus and Oil Men's association,
according to John H. Fritz, of the Logan Natural Gus and Fuel Co., who
returned last Thursday from the two-
day session of the convention held in
Columbus.
The address of the president. J. W.
McMahon, of Toledo, predicted that
within a comparatively few years the
gas industry as such must pass Into
history, as the supply will be exhausted.
"Yeurs ugo government ownership
of utilities wus the slogan of so-
culled radicals," suld Mr. McMahon.
"Hut this agitation for government
ownership has ceased to lie the cry
of radicals and has become the slogan of the conservative owners of the
utilities. Today the owners of any
utility from railroads down, would
gladly take the money that would be
realized by purchase by stute or federal government and seek In other
fields thun public service investment
return with freedom."
A moving picture of the history of
the gas history was a feature of the
convention.
Officers elected for the coming year
were: President, H. J. Hoover, Cincinnati, O.; vice-president, T. C. Jones,
Delaware; and E. T. Clagget, Columbus; secretary-treasurer, Wm. H.

COUNTY    BOARD    OF    ELECTIONS
RECOGNIZE VILLAGE'S REQUEST
TO  SUBMIT  A TWO-MILL TAX
LEVY TO VOTER8 AT THE
NEXT      ELECTION
Mayor .1 .1 Smythe reported this
week that the Lorain County Hoard of
Eli'ctiors luul accepted the request of
the villuge to submit u two-mill tax
levy to the Vol is of Amherst at the
N'ovi'inber election, nnd that u portion
Of the ballots wi 1 be us.*el for such
purposes.
Al the tlm. the council discussed
the matter, it v.as feared that the
board of elections would turn down
*h,* request at such short notice. A
fn\ oralile ri*ply from the chairman of
the hoard allayed all fears.
The council wish to impress upou
the people that the village Is In vital
nee-el of additional finances, due to the
fae t that the* village will receive only
a small portion of the taxes collected
from the taxable preteperty In Amherst.
The totul amount allotted to Am
herst Is ffi.OOO, which Is insufficient to
meet the current expenses, disregarding the expense of the upkeep ot
roads and other public property ia
Amherst.
In the I'vent the voters turn down
the proposition the village will have
to borrow the money and naturally
run the village Into debt.
It is earnestly hoped that the voters
wll' give this mutter their utmost attention before* voting for or ugulnst
the two-mill levy.
