AGREED TO COMPROMISE
Commissioners Fix Liquor License
Fees at $500 and $3.50.
Representations of Dealers Caused I lie
Modification OF the Proposition
as Sent to Congress.

The District Commissioners have given
great deal of consideration lately to tie
proposition now before Congress for au in
crease OF the fees for liquor license, and
nave finally agreed upon a compromise
measure, which places the fee for retail.
ing at 5000 and the wholesale fee al $3.50.

suggestion of the excise board and raise the
price to $500 and S400 respectively. and

mendation of the board the Commissioners

e. In the interim between the filing Of the

as retail fee would simply result in driving
out reputable dealers and increasing the
lilCIt- sales.

multiply all over the city. and the District
would not only be deprived of the revenue.
but the cost OF prosecutions. if those sur
reptitiously dealing in liquors could even
be caught, would be very materially in

When the suggestion was made that
the retail fee be reduced from the first
estimate TO 5000, and the wholesalers be
be lert at $500. as was proposed in the bin,
