LOOP TRAFFIC IS HALTED FOR BREW RETURN Hilarity Runs High When Chicago Celebrates Foamy Beverage. 81l I nitrd f> r , ss CHICAGO, April 7.—Chicago’s loop resounded today to “prosit" and drinking songs of yesteryear as bartenders flecked the foam from legal beer for customers who welcomed it with the greatest celebration seen here in years. Thousands of persons thronged through the downtown-section, firing blank cartridges. shrieking sirens and blowing whistles as a fa greeting to the first legal beer in fi thirteen years. fa: Veteran State street merchants * a id the hilarity surpassed all New Year's eve celebrations of the past decade. From fashionable hostelries in ; the heart of the Loop to dining and ; dancing cases on the north side.' Chicago pleasure resorts made the ! new beer the hub around which the varied programs of merry-making, spun. Case Bars Are Packed A few minutes after 12. the first beer arrived at downtown cases. In- 1 , stantly the bars were packed. Table i ppace had been filled hours before, ' and a momentary chance at the bar was at a premium. Thunderous shouts went up as loaded beer trucks sped past. Sirens and automobile horns kept up a steady racket. Blank cartridges from pistols and shotguns added to the din. Whistles, bells and similar noise contrivances contributed their share of the noise. Traffic was at a virtual standstill on brightly lighted State street as j midnight arrived. Persons who w : ore fortunate enough to obtain the first bottles paraded through crowds drinking either direct from the bottle or from mugs. Brink Thousands of Bottles In the hours after midnight, it was estimated that thousands of bottles of beer gurgled down the throats of “new beer's eve’’ celcbrators. A few' places sold beer at 5 j and 10 cents a glass, while in night clubs and exclusive resorts the price ran as high as 35 cents. All day Thursday in the cool depths of brewery store rooms thousands of cases of beer and barrel upon barrel had been under re- i frigeration. As the hands of brewmasters’; clocks swung slowly toward mid- j night the beer was trundled onto' loading platforms and aboard trucks. At the zero hour, some cases w’ere : rushed to airports for plane flights | to distant points, including Washington. WANT TO BUY a 1933 model ; ’ automobile at a great discount? .

Bridge Kept Closed to Allow Use of Fund for Street Work

B jj ———— -- . - ■ ——-

Closed West Tenth street bridge over White river, which requires new piling, stringers, and floor.

Greater Part of Public Is Benefited by Choice, Say City Officials. Policy based on “the greatest good to the greatest number” is guiding the board of works in delaying repairs to permit reopening of the West Tenth street bridge over White river, city officials asserted today. The board takes the stand that resurfacing, widening and other improvement of several streets in the city, sources of numerous complaints, is more important than repairing the bridge, in that the streets serve a larger proportion of the population. The board lacks funds sufficient for both street work and repairing the bridge, it was stated. The bridge repair would cost approximately $40,000. Survey of the span revealed piling beneath the center pier has rotted and that there is need of new’ stringers and new flooring. Money sufficient for the repair project is on hand, but to use it would deplete the board’s funds to a point where street work considered more essential could not be done. Proposed street improvements, including resurfacing and widening, includes the following: New York street, from Highland avenue to East street, final link in establishing a street forty-five feet in width: West Michigan street, from P. <fe E. tracks to Tibbs avenue. including removal of car tracks, as street will become a trackless trolley route; South Meridian street, from the Bluff road to McCarty street: Russell avenue, from South Meridian to Illinois streets, and Illinois street, from Russell avenue to South street. Cost of the New York and Michigan street project is estimated at $58,500, which will be derived from bonds already issued. Improvements on South Meridian will cost

nearly $35,000; Russell avenue $7,000 and Illinois street, SII,OOO, a total of $53,000, which will be taken from the street resurfacing and widening fund, in which there is now $47,817.66. A deficit of $5,182.34 would result. Additional proposed improvements are resurfacing of Union street from Madison to McCarty, and from Palmer to Adler at an estimated cost of $18,000; Adler street, from Union to South Meridian, $2,000; Thirty-eighth street, from Orchard avenue to Rural, resurfaced, $15,000; Ritter avenue, from Washington street to Brookville road, resurfaced, $16,000; Central avenue from Thirty-fourth to Thirtyeighth, over which a fight is being j waged before the board of works i to prevent removal of wood block S paving, and replacement with concrete or asphalt, which probably will be approved. Total cost of improvements in i this group i§ estimated at $94,000 and will be paid from the city’s share of state gasoline tax. These streets are only a small proportion of thoroughfares in the city which board members realize are in ned of resurfacing and widening, including the following: Illinois from Thirty-fourth to Thirty-eighth, St. Clair street from Massachusetts avenue to New York, Thirtieth street from Meridian to Fall creek, Ohio street from East ]to State, Highland avenue from Washington to New York, Nineteenth from Central avenue to Meridian, Pine street from Market to Massachusetts avenue, Highland avenue from Eighteenth street to Twenty-first, Fourteenth street from Meridian to Pennsylvania, FortyNinth street from Monon railroad to Keystone avenue, Central avenue Thirty-fourth to Thirty-eighth, Fifteenth street from Yandes to Nickle Plate railroad, Pratt street, from Tenth to Ft.

BROADWAY TAP ON, BUT ONLY BEER TRICKLE Mild Celebration,* Some Cynicism, Suspicion, Too, in New York. BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE I nited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. April 7.—Broadway i welcomed the ’’return’’ of real beer , today in an atmosphere of mild i celebration, some cynicism, and no little suspicion. At midnighr. when the taps were ! scheduled to flow, the Times Square : district was amazed to find that the flow merely was a trickle. The would-be joy-makers had j thought they saw a twinkle in the brewers’ eyes when the word went j out, “No beer until 6a. m.' But the j twinkle wasn't there. Most of the brewers meant what they said. j One lone beer truck passed through the Grand Central sector at 1 a. m., and was followed by an impromptu parade of taxicabs and private cars. Its contents, deposited at the Grand Central lunch bar. provided twenty minutes of refreshment for the assembled crowd, and then there was no more. Find Speakeasies Closed At 3 a. m., grills along upper Broadway had received a modest supply, but most of the clientele had gone home. At 4 a .m., Don Dickerman, proprietor of five of the city's spectacular night clubs—in successive years —drank a stein of near beer, and toasted “Myself—the biggest sucker the town ever produced.” Four of his clubs have been closed by the depression and other things. Thousands of the would-be beer drinkers, disappointed at the early morning lack of fluid sustenance, decided to go to speakeasies. They found six of the best known speakeasies in the Forty-second street sector closed. One crowd followed a near-beer! truck from one soft-drink bar to j another as it made its deliveries, under the impression that it was distributing real beer. Pass Off Theri Near Beer The case proprietors, through j some oversight, failed to disabuse! their minds, and an immense sale of the “cereal beverage of less than one-half of one per cent of alcohol content” followed. “It's very good beer—that’s the j old stuff,” most of the customers agreed. It was different in the German j resorts of Hoboken, where “real j beer” was on sale immediately after j midnight. The difference between j the new beer and the beer that has I been sold in Hoboken for thirteen years is about 5 per cent. Hoboken has been enjoying 9 per cent beer! from wildcat breweries. At the famous Meyer's Brauhaus, in Hoboken, thirteen barrels wera unloaded at 1 a. m„ and the singing Bavarian waiters, with east side accents and feathers in their hats, sang “Ein Posit” with a pretense to light-hearted abandon. Wait for the Trucks Geenwich village speakeasies dropped their prices of “hard stuff” to 35 cents a highball. Although beer trucks went pounding through Harlem on their way to midtown New York, they failed to stop at present-day “hot spots” such | as the Cotton Club and Connie’s Inn, and Harlem drank ginger ale j and what-have-you. At dawn, restaurant proprietors' opened up for the day, fixed signs in their windows saying “beer on i draught,” and waited patiently on j their sidewalks for the trucks to drive up. ;

Bp Scrippx-Uoward Xcicspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON. April 7.—The administration's tariff reduction offensive apparently is under way. President Roosevelt just has approved a reduction in the tariff on certain agricultural hand tools, which President Hoover refused to approve. The United States tariff commission announced that the President has issued a proclamation decreasing duties on hay forks and fourtined manure forks from 8 cents each and 45 per cent ad valorem to 4 cents each and 22per cent ad valorem, and on other agricultural forks, hoes and rakes from 30 per cent ad valorem to 15 per cent ad valorem. The change becomes effective May 3. The commission submitted a report to Mr. Hoover on this subject in November of 1932, but he returned it without his approval, asking further review because of recent changes in international trade as a result of currency depreciation in certain countries. The commission made the new survey and found that no modification of its recommendation for. reduction was necessary.
