Saloon Keepers Again Petition Council
to Decrease Tax.

Saloon Keepers Again Petition Council
to Decrease Tax.
From Tuesdays Daily.
Last evening, at the regular council
meeting, petition was presented,
bearing the signatures of nearly
everyone, if not all the retail liquor
deaers of the city, asking that the
license charged retail liquor establish
ments by the city be reduced from
$1,000 to $500, the claim being that
the present high tax does not allow
the saloon-keepers to make a just
profit out of their business. This mat
ter has been presented to the council
several times, but the petitions have
never been granted, and judging from
indications the latest one will share
the same fate as the others. 1t was
saved from ignominious defeat last
evening, however, when it was re-
ferred to the police committee for in
vestigation.
