Ordinance 333 also said that all ordinances in conflict with it were thereby! repealed, wiping out the 1893 law and any others. Consequently, except for 2% hours in the morning and 114! hours in the evening, beer, wine and liquor could be sold in Key West around the clock on Sun- days from 1937 on. Ordinance 333 was slightly amended by Ordinance 360, passed over Mayor Willard M. Albury’s veto on Nov. 3, 1938. Ordinance 360 prohibited any establishments within 300 feet of a school from selling beer, wine or liquor from 5:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, or from 6 p.m. to midnight on Sundays if within 300 feet of churches, Ordinance 360, pears rather however, ap- superfluous since state laws prohibit. the operation of any liquor selling establish ments if within 300 feet of a school or church.

It does not repeal or amend any oth- er laws in conflict with it. Its provisions are (1) No alco- holic beverages (more than 1 alcohol) shall be sold, served or consumed between 2 am. and 7 a.m. on weekdays and between 2 a.m. Sunday and 7 a.m. Monday; | (2) No’ intoxicating beverage (more than 3.2 alcohol) shall be sold, served or distributed by package, bottle or container be- tween 8 p.m, and 7 a.m. and not at all on Sundays, Thus, no hard liquor may be sold after 8 o'clock Saturday night until 7 a.m. Monday, but beer and wine may be sold until 2 a.m. Sunday Violation of Ordinance } may be punished by a $2: or 60 days in jail with license re- vocation in either case.
