Judge Drew has rendered a de-
cision in the case of the State OK
rel. w. G.. Davis vs. the Police
Jury, which was tried several
weeks ago and taken under advise
ment. The decision of the court
is that the whiskey license in ward
five be reduced from $1,000 to g.
500, and that the Police Jury meet
in twenty days and make this re-
duction. The attorney for the pa
IRISH has appealed the case to the
Supreme Court.
1t is generally thought that the
decision of the lower court will be
sustained, rs the Supreme Court
has already passed on most of the
points involved in this case. This
court has held heretofore that q
parish or municipality had no right
to place a prohibitory license on
the sale of whisky.
If the Supreme Court passes on
the case 10 time a saloon will in

IF these surmises are correct anC
the saloon does open up in tina

These people will no doubt see
this relief before the saloon is rul
