High license went into effect at Boston
Saturday. Hereafter it costs $1,000 a
year to sell liquor over the bar in that
city, and the total number of saloons is
limited to 1856. Last Friday there were
at least $500 In active operation. 1t is
estimated that the loss on fixtures, etc.,
of the LOO saloon keepers whose occu-
patton is gone will reach 81, 4OO, 600, and
that over 1000 bartenders are thrown
out of employment. All the big hotels
have secured licenses, but good many
of the small ones got left. So, it is said,
did the sporting" resorts and the base
ment saloons through the city without
single exception.
