I.
The bill provides that persons living
III one part of the state and contract

at the place of contract.

arose in different quarters, all of which
were met by Mr.. Nye with a counter
argument.
Mr. Cribchlow said there was neces-

centers would not make loans to per-

LAW
Mr.. MorriWs bill reducing the mini
mum for which liquor licenses may be
issued. from the present statute, at
$500, in counties having a population
of less than $1,000.
Mr.. Monson offered the following
amendment, which was adopted:
Provided further, that the commits

lowed to issue license for the sale of
Intoxicating liquors within one-halt
mile of the corporate limits OF any
city or town, for a sum less than is
required by ordinance of such city or
town.
Mr.. Harris moved to strike out the
enacting clause.
Mr. Morrill, said he hoped THE motion
would not prevail.
Mr.. Critchlow said the proposition
was much similar to making penalties
attaching to criminal laws so heavy
that the law became imperative. While
no one would pay 5000 for license they
would pay $500, and the smuggling and
selling of batters would cease.
Mr.. Clark wanted the motion to pre-
vail They had no saloons in his
county, and wanted none and what was
