Charleston. w. Va, October A.
Last year there was paid into the
Golfers of the state the sum OF 1888,
229.4s IN license taxes Tor the sale
Of intoxicating liquors, and while
Kanawha, Lewis. Mineral. Randolph
Taylor and Wyoming counties art
now on the sprinkliRg cart, the
revenue Already received for license
II 1909 amounts TO $565.671.79.
Less Saloons Higher License.
The decrease in the number OF sa
looms is caused by the increase in the
license tax imposed by the state leg
islature when it raised the tax from
5000 TO $1,000 per annum and to the
licensing bodies of several counties
refusing license. The increase in
the amount of license taxes is the
result of the increased license tax or
retail liquor saloons.
This year II counties In the state
have licensed retail saloons as com
pared with % which had licensed sa,
looms in 1908. The greatest loss in
revenue resulted when Kanawha
