Mr. Sevy spoke against the bill, ar
guing that it would be bad to reduce
licenses so saloons would be in reach II
the small villages of the state. Sa-
I looms in such places would have de-
moralizing effect on the communities,
for they would be frequented by boys
with no place to spend their evenings.
Saloons would unQuestionably be
curse to such communities. The bill
