HITS FAMILY LIQUOR STORES.

Proscribed Zone Established by City Upheld by Supreme Court

The family liquor stores and wholesale liquor houses east of Troost avenue and south of Twenty-fifth street must go. In fact, they have no legal grounding. That is the decree of the supreme court of Missouri handed down in a decision, the gist of which was received last night by A. F. Smith, assistant city counselor.

The fight on the family liquor stores in Westport and other outlying localities inside the city limits, and the retaliatory fight put up by owners of the stores has occupied the last four months.
