HOW IT WORKED.
| Excise Commissioner Bell in an interview
| said: The licenses will be all right. In over
| 800 cases the brewers have given me their
| written guarantee that the money will be paid
| during the month Of February I have had the
! guarantee drawn up in icon-clad shape. Each
| brewing company distinctly guarantees that
| the amount of certain specified saloons will he
| paid during the next thirty days. If the saloon
| keeper does not pay up have recourse the
| brewers, as the guarantee drawn and signed
| by the proper officers will stand in court. With
| this in my possession, shall issue permit to
the parties named to continue i'll business tenn
| porarily.'
