Total So
Including these two reports to me by
county clerks indicate that there are fifty
iiye counties in Texss under the operation
OF the local option law, most of them being
Panhandle, Western and Southwestern
counties OF small population. in addition
most OF the North Texas counties are
largely under the operation of the local
option law. Dallas. for instance. is all
local option except the city of Dallas. La
mar Is the same way except Paris. Hunt
IS all local option except two precincts,
Greenville and Commerce Hill county ia
all under local option except Hilsboro.
Inc greater portions of Fannn, Grayson,
Tairsnt. Collin. Kaufman, Navarro and
many other North Texas and middle cOun-
ties have local option in operation But
take Hill and Hunt counties for instance:
while the former issues license TO sixteen
liquor dealers and the latter to twenty
Elk, yet each Of them last year had fifty
TWO revenue stamps issued authorizing the
sale OF beer ar both beer and whisky.
