town just across the Red river fl om
Fargo. Under ordinary circumstances
three saloons would be all that the
town where they paint things the
color OF the river could support, but
II are in existence, just IS to credit
up to North Dakota. Last year the
amount of business OF this kind trans
acted reached the sum of $500, 600,
and inasmuch as the saloon license is
81, 900, the $47,O0 contributed to the
city Golfers, mostly by Fargoltes, has
reducted the tax rate to 81 mills,
while in the big dry city across the
Red, the tax IS nearly, 50 mills.
Fargo has tied to devise some plan
whereby she could even up with her
nelghbor but up to date the matter IS
still under consideration.
