NOVEL PLAN TO
KEEP TOWN DRY
Temperance Element Secures
49,. All Saloon Permits.

Austin. Tex, Oct. 25.-A novel way
tc enforce prohibition, made possible
under the Fitzhugh- Robinson liquor
law limiting the number of saloons in
each precinct to one for every 500
inhabitants, has been found at Fair
field, in Freestone county.
This dry town went wet a few
weeks ago and almost Immediately
applications for permits we're filed
with the comptroller for the maximum
number Of saloons allowed. The
comptroller approved the applications.
Subsequently there were more appli-
cations, all of which were without the
limit Of the law.
d The disappointed applicants replied
that no saloons had been opened and
that the applications were taken out
by prohibitionists, who resorted to
that method to continue the town dry.
