RED BLUFF, Jan. 8-—~Because of the recent action of the Board of Supervisors in repealing the Sunday and midnight closing clause in the ordinance regulat- ing the sale of intoxicating liquors in Te- hama County the temperance people have renewed their war upon the liquor deal- eal and will carry the battle into the enemy’s cathp. 4gfter ‘securing hundreds of names to a petition asking for legisla~ tion in the interest of temperance last year the temperance people were success- ful in getting the Supervisors to pass an ordinance calling for the midnight closing of all saloons and the prevention of the sale of liquor between the hours of 10 o'clock Sunday and 6 o'clock Monday morning. Last week, without any notice, the Su- pervisors voted to repeal the section re- garding midnight and Sunday closing. After next week the “lid” will be lifted and the saloons may operate at all hours. This action was taken by the Supervis- ors in the face of the report of the Grand Jury, which recommended that not only should the Supervisors make the saloon regulations more stringent, but that the Red Bluff Town Trustees should also en- act temperance legislation. The temperance people are now syste- matically organizing for a vigorous cam- paign, and while they do not intend to put an independent ticket in the fleld, it is their intention to investigate thorough- VICTORIA, B.
