License Division Bill Killed.
The Senate yesterday afternoon killed n
bill which allows incorporated cithes and
towns no retain one-third OF all nquor
licenses collected in the respective cities
and towns. The Republicans opposed the
bill, because they said the State treasury
could not stand this draw.
When the liquor license division hill came
into the Senate yesterday afternoon for
lnnal passage, Senator Sparks declared Tihat
he olhad come into the session fully pre-
pared to vote for the bill, because he Ger
tainly believed It to be just and equitable,
for the reason that the cities and the
towns had ito spend large amounts to pro-
tect the peace and We're really the ones
who had to expend money because Of tht
iquor traffic. Yet, upon going over thS
appropriation list, he had come to the con.
clusion that neither this nor any other leg.
!sative body had the right to spend none,
which they had not. D.,
AT the beginning OF the session, Afr
President, the State treasury showed ar
lunapproprdated balance OF 100000. w,
will now. however, appropriate about s75
900 year for two years II all the bin,
become laws which we have passed-th,
proposed good roads bill, Delaware CollleE,
appropriations Delaware State Hosplta
at Farnhurst the National Guard, and
sincerely trust, the consumptdves' sani
ltRrlum. Therefore. by allowing this addi
tional $4,000 now to be paid ort, we woui,
simply be paying money out OF the treas
ury which we will not have there TO pay
which is certainly most inequitable and un
businessllke. l. therefore. must oppos'
the bill"
Senator McNulty scored his Whining

a hlll that he admitted was a just bill
There's an old axiom" he said be JUS
