At the village election last Tuesday
Kennedy and Donaldson voted no license
the same as they did last year The
farmers in the vicinity of those two
towns petitioned the village voters to
continue voting out the saloons and if
they did not they would boycott the vii
lagos. But if the liquor was voted out
they would do all in their power to draw
trade to them From this 1T is evident
that the farmer has something to say
about the liquor question. Hallock
News
The state senate last week passed the
Alderman bill limiting saloons one to
each 800 inhabitants. The bill provides
that where the present number of sa-
looms exceeds that limit the number
shall not be changed. The bill was pass
ed by vote of 43 to 7. There seems to
he some dispute among attorneys of the
state as to the proper Interpretation of
the bill and its effects in law in towns
like Hallock where the present number
of saloons exceeds tie number provided
in the bill. Should the number of sa.
looms be cut down according to popu.
lation the number of saloons in Hallock
would be reduced to three or four, where
there are seven at present Hallock
Enterprise.
