DURANGO SALOONS WILL
GO INTO COMBINATION

II is learned from reliable author
ity that the larger saloons of Durango
will form combinations to curtail IL
cense and operating expenses, and II
is said one combination which will
embrace five saloons under one man
agement and practically in one house
ldouble or single) has already been
formed. II ~ understood, 100. that an
other continuation which will embrace
four or FIVE saloons In one house, un-
der one license. will be formed soon.
II is probable that neither combina-
tion will go into effect until after the
fall fair and race meet next month,
That a number of the larger houses
have not been paying for several
weeks, since gambling was closed, has
been commonly discussed and IRE
quently admitted. Ten saloons at $500
per year license for each is an aggre
gate of $4,000 Ten saloons put into
two combinations. each paying $500
per year, will be an aggregate oil
81 200 II is said. however. with what
truth the Herald does not know, that
the combination houses will ask the
city council to largely increase the
city license. This request would com
prehend the purpose of protecting
houses having large Investments and
curtailinr the number OF smaller OF
inferior houses. 1t is urged that high
license has elveated the saloon traffic
in other Colorado and western towns
and cities and resulted generally ben
eficial to communities.
Whether this new move may be re
garded as retaliation by those wht
were closed, or whether II may be
fight of the kings for protection ant
profit, the people will look on with
interest feeling that II the dealers IL
the liquor traffic desire an increase
in the license which will average IL
the aggregate as much revenue TO
the city as has already been received
annually. the public interests will no
suffer.
Should these combinations go int
effect they will revolutionize the ives
side Of Main avenue between Ninti
and Tenth streets.
