A division of opinion seems to
exist as to whether or not the set
tiers in the Ashawa district desire
saloon at the new town, and a
petition for presentation to the
county board asking for the res
ending of the license granted Aug.

ava receives many signatures. 1t
would appear to be time enough to
grant liquor license when a viii
lage becomes organized, and has
