Appeal for amendment of the city liquor ordinance to permit Sunday opening of retail establishments was made to the city council by dealers today.

It brought a declaration from Commissioner Arthur L. McNabb! that if there was any changing to be done, he favored a $50 license fee and open saloons 365 days of the year. Corporation Counsel W. J. Carey opposed McXabb's argument and pointed out that the dealers were only asking for Sunday privileges.

Study rlea Wednesday. The council as a body will consider the dealers' proposal as a committee of the whole, probably Wednesday. Commissioner McXabb's statement is considered important because upon his attitude depends outcome of the dealers' petition. Commissioners Tom Moran and Earl Smith have openly favored revision of the ordinance to permit retail liquor establishments to remain open until 1 a. m.

during the week and from noon until midnight on Sundays. MrXahb Key Man. Mayor Smith and Commissioner Walter Rugh are opposed to it. which leaves Commissioner Mc-Xabb the "key man." as he dubbed himself today. His statement of policy had the approval of Commissioner Earl Smith.

A dozen retail dealers appeared before the council today, fortified with a petition signed by a total i of men In the retail trade and 14 wholes-ilers. The theme of the arguments presented by them was that prohibition of Sunday retailing by licensed dealers was encouraging bootlegging. Charge Bootlegging Thriving. Charges that bootlegging is continuing unabated in Decatur were made. While the discussion was going on in the council chamber, police were unloading spoils of a raid on an illicit establishment at headquarters on the first floor of the city building.

F. W. Kaiser. engaged in the wholesaling of liquor, warned the council that ieettimate dealers are "plodding on thin ice." Because of the Sunday closing law, he said. Decatur is shunned on Sunday by persons who otherwise would come here to the lake.

They go to Sprintrfield. Peoria. Bloomington and other places where they can get liquor on their holiday. Commissioner Moran corroborated this with a statement that these other cities are permitting Sunday sales. He cited the fact that Decatur was without regulation of liquor sales entirely for five months and conditions were as good as they ever had been.

He expressed to bring in an ordinance to permit retail sales until 1 a. during the week and from noon until midnight on Sundays. This brought a statement of approval from Commissioner Smith and a charge that the "town is full of bootlegcers, operating without interference." Suggests Trial Period. Ho susreested that the ordinance be amended for a trial period of six months in which the retailers would be given an opportunity to show whether or not they would abide by the reculations. "If any one of 'em slips.

I'm fo closing him down at once." Smith declared. He said licensed should help the city eliminate the illicit dealers. "It is not a wet and dry fight." L. W. Cook.

of the St. Nicholas hotel declared. "It is a fight to determine whether the business shll be legal or illegal, whether it shall be a racket." McXabb Explains Views. ex! Commissioner McXabb then plained that he is the "key man" in the council on the problem. He gave a lecture on temperance, explaining that he does not drink except to take a glass of beer occasionally.
