companions.

WANTS THEM TO PAY
Schumacher Urges Further Leg.
lslatlon for Liquor Dealers.

Asscmblyman Schumacher. who is
after the liquor element with a big
stick. would have another ordinance
passed. He would compel wholesale
branches of retail liquor houses to take
out a retailers license.
At the meeting of the assembly Ii
cense committee Mr.. Schurmeier call
ed attention to this alleged violation
of the law and secured from License
Inspector Jessrang a promise to fur
nish him in time for the next meeting
with full list of houses who sell goods
on this basis.
TT is a practice Of some wholesaI-
ers," said Mr.. Schumacher. "'to con-
duct a saloon in a room adjoining, and
thus get the benefit of the retailers Ii
cense"
Where both are conducted by the
same party there is no violation, but
Mr.. Schurmeier's contention is that the
wholesale department is often conduct
ed by some wholesaler and the saloon
by another party.

BUILDERS ARE BUSY
August, 1908, Beats Record In
Number of Small Structures.

ST Paul building statistics for 1908
will chronicle the fact that August is
the biggest month in respect to small
building operations in five years.
When the close of the month had
been reached last evening the city
building department had issued ISL
building permits, the total value of
which was $317,445. For the same
month last year the number of permits
was 1O8 and their total value $210,225.
With the possible exception of one
permit, valued at $4,000, practically
the entire amount for August has been
invested by the builders in small
structures such as new houses and
repairs and additions to old struc-
lures. While some of the new resi-
dences were for renting purposes, the
majority were erected for Immediate
occupancy by the owners.
Eight months of the building year
is now matter of history, and as far
as st. Paul is concerned, it shows a
substantial increase over the same pc
ROD last year. The Increase yesterday
totaled $116,79S. In August alone the
gain is $1O7,22S.

WANT BREWERS TO
PAY SALOON LICENSE
Assembly Committee byvote of
2 to Endorses Schurmeier
Resolution.

Brewers and brewers agents doing
business in ST. Paul will each have to
pay an annual license fee of $1,000 if
the action of the assembly committee
on license yesterday afternoon is in
dorsed by the two council bodies
This in the event that the manufac-
turerS and dealers in beer and malt
products persist in selling bottled
goods in less than five-gallon guam
titles, the amount designated by the
state law as wholesaling. The particu-
lar infraction is in the sale of pints,
thirty-six of which are apportioned to
case. This is only four and a half
gallons.
The resolution imposing the $1,000
license fee was the one introduced at
the meeting of the assembly two weeks
ago by Assemblyman Schumacher, and
its Endorsement by the committee yes
terday was practically a foregone con-
clusion. Only one could be found who
opposed it and he was the lone Demo
cratic member of the committee, AS

Assemblyman Van Slyke; Il am not

Assemblyman Van Slyke, as he closed
the matter with the announcement OF
the vote.
The proposed measure will hardly be
tolerated by the board of aldermen

a dozen brewers and brewers agents
