voting In the Affirmative and 81 in

vote of the last assembly Mr..
fStreeter made brilliant appeal for
his bill, he contended that in some:

he quoted a number Of official figures
to the effect that last year there were
,465 retail dealers licenses issued in
the sister state and 1,7O3 in this state,
