TN Switzerland the laws governing
the sale of intoxicants are cantonal.
each canton legislating on the sub
ject in a way that is considered best
for the locality. The general plan is
to limit the number of saloons or bars
in proportion to the population. The
average is one saloon for about 500 in
habitants. although In some towns and
cities the proportion is one for each
200, while in the rural districts the
basis is not infrequently as high as
one per 1000.
In the canton of Lucerne the rate for
license is comparatively high. Saloons
are classified, the privilege of operat-
Ing bar in first class hotel costing
much more than for a small restaurant
or beer hall. Here the minimum price
for license to sell intoxicants at retail
Is zoo francs. equal to about $40 year.
and the maximum for large first class
hotels 5000 francs. equivalent to about
$1,000 per year.
Each municipality or community de-
cides the number of saloons to be IL
censed, based upon the number of in
habitants. and when the number pre-
scribed has been reached no influence
political or financial, can secure an ad-
ditionai privilege.
The hour for closing is generally II
o'clock at night, and as a rule it is
strictly observed, any violation of the
law resulting in a forfeiture of the
license Any special privilege desired
py the holder of a liquor license must
be applied for to the proper authorities
