WILL THRESH OUT
LICENSE SCHEDULE
SAME SCALE AS IN EFFECT LAST
YEAR is SUBMITTED AND PRE-
WILL BE FEW CHANGES.

Between now and the next council
meeting on Wednesday week the license
schedule for next year will be threshed
out. The schedule was introduced at the
last meeting of the council the present
schedule being presented.
When prohibition went into effect in
Birmingham last year licenses were
greatly increased and the business people
have been complaining ever since. The
only satisfaction they receive. however.
is that the 100000 annually lost by the
enactment of the prohibition laws had
to be made up some way.
There are many. though. who will OBJ
ject, a large percentage of whom have
already entered their protest and plea
for smaller charge. 1t is thought. how
ever that not much material change will
be made in the schedule, and the alder
men are holding out but faint hope to the
applicants for lower license.
