keepers who have consulted attor-
neys. The men who sell schooners
say that the increase cannot be made

for the year. but the city grants the
saloonkeepers the permission to pay
the license in installments. The men
contend that the license can not be
changed until the year Is out.
The wholesale dealers say that
many of the small saloons will be
forced to close their doors, and as
the wholesale dealers have advanced
money and stocks to them, such
short notice has been given that the
dealers cannot sell out in time so
that they will be left with a stock on
hand
