After the main business was trans
acted at the session of council Thurs
day night the members got together to
have a little secret talk on the LIQUOR
license question. All the outsiders were
barred from the room and after consid-
cradle discussion on the subject it was
finally decided to place the matter in
the hands of the mayor to act as he
sees proper, and the council will back
him up. Yesterday it was reported
that he had decided to grant the sa-
looms right to sell provided they pay
$50 month for so doing. This amount
seems to be satisfactory to several Of
the saloon men. and is just $40 a year
less than what they formerly paid when
the city licensed the saloons. It is ru-
mored that several will take out IL
cense now. and the city will get a good
revenue. Mayor Purdy probably voices
the sentiments Of the majority of the
people in this matter. for were a vote
to be taken now license would carry by
a big majority. Liquor viii be sold in
this city as long as it is made in the
United States, and since there is Just as
much Of it consumed here as ever,
should be a little revenue turned into
our city treasury.
