A fifth class druggist liquor license
was granted to Z. Al. Drown at the
meeting of the city council last evening
and in fixing the fee for the license
brought up discussion Of the change in
the law made at the last legislature
whereby all Of the fees from liquor IL
censes now goes to the state instead Of
one-half being kept by the towns or
cities issuing licenses. Alderman Camp
bell thought that as the fees now all
had to be turned over to the state and
as the state had set minimum fee Of
$40 for the fifth class licenses there was
nothing to be gained By making the
fees any higher and he would rather see
the individual get the benefit Of the law
rather than the state. Last year he
said that the city had made the drug
gists license fee $50 but he would move
this year that the fee be made $40, the
lowest the state would allow. Alderman
Even seconded this motion and it was
so voted by the council.
