Fhe High License Question In Ventura
County,
San BUENAvENTURA, August 2l.-After
three days of argument, Superior Judge
Sepulveda to-day finally released the Tax Col
lector from the Injunction which had been
granted TO prevent him from collecting the
liquoe license of $50 per quarter in advance.
His Honor decides that the complaint did
not state sufficient cause Of action, that is,
the constitutionslity Of the County Govern
ment bill could not be tested under the COM
plant. Each and every liquor dealer, whole
sale or retail, will now be proceeded against
and compelled to give bonds, go that If event
ually the ordinance is sustained, the county
will recover the tex due since July 1st. The
low cribs and dens which cannot give bonds
will be closed up at once, which is exactly
the object of the ordinance. The best of
feeling prevails, both sides seeming only
anxious TO ascertain what the law really is.
A test case for the Supreme Court will be
made up as soon as possible. The friends of
high license will furnish funds enough to
secure the best legal talent.
