LIQUOR LAW SUITS MAUI.
A well-known Maui liquor dealer
states that the new liquor law is quite
satisfactory. on this island the new
enactment will force a number of the
smaller saloons to close, owing to the
fact that the lowest class license is
for $3.50 instead of 800 as hitherto. and
in addition to this the applicant must
take out two Federal licenses of S25
and 500 respectively, thus causing q
total outlay of 1915. He also stated that
the law was directed especially against
the low dives in Honolulu and did not
materially affect Maui, inasmuch as
the saloons of this island were con-
Quoted as a rule in an orderly manner.
