sions to their city, for the merchants resd-
ing along the different railroads centrng
there. Negotiations are now pending with

so shallow in its conception that it is de-
tected and choked off even in its very

On the lst of next month the saloon
licenses in this city will run out, and re.
newals will have to be made at the rate Of
$500 per annum. At present there are
about seventy saloons in the city, which
paid $3.50 per annum each last year, OIL
$l0,j00 in all. 1t is estimated that the
. higher license this year will have the eff
feet Of reducing the number to about forty
which, at $500 each, will pay total o
S2o,ooo into the city treasury during tn
year. Those which remain open and pa,
- this license WILL with few exception
- perhaps, be OF the better class, and most G
those closed up will be the low groggereI
y Thus the city will be the gamer in tw
d ways.
