       PETITION TO CITY COUNCIL. 
Citizens Request That Ordinance Legalizing the Sale of Near Beer 
Be Revoked.
 
The following petition has been presented to the city council 
requesting that body to revoke the ordinance legalizing the sale of 
near beer in Hawkinsville: 
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of Hawkinsville: 
In as much as the amount of drunkenness in our city us steadily 
increasing and a number of persons at different times have testified 
in police court that their intoxications resulted from drinking so 
called 'Near beer" and similar alcoholic drinks, convinced that the 
sale of them is a menace to the good morals and well being of our 
city, as well as rendering null and void the purpose of the state 
prohibition law, we, the undersigned, petition your body to revoke 
the ordinance legalizing the traffic in said alcoholics for the 
payment of a hundred dollars and to pass one   raising it to ten 
thousand dollars.
