Now Rule on Delivery of Beer

1t is unlawful now for a person to
send a wagon out to Havelock for a
case or two of beer, unless the driver
of the wagon has a warehouse or place
of business IN Lincoln where the COM
modify may be delivered. In other
words, all beer handled from Havelock
must be delivered to the headquarters
of the transportation company, where II
must be kept until the consingee puts
on his coat and goes down and receipts
for It.. Then he may call in a wagon
and have it delivered to his home or
wherever 1t suits him. Provided, how
ever, that no person may send an agent
TO get the stuff. The agent business
doesn't go any more in Lincoln. The
man who wants the beer must go to the
headquarters after it. Just how the ex-
else board is going to prevent the head
quarters of the transportation companies
from being a regular retail saloon has
not yet been figured out.
Boiler Bids Rejected.
The Board Of Public Lands and Build
ings rejected all bids on the boiler for
the Lincoln asylum and the generator
and motor for the Norfolk asylum.
Patent Right Business.
The patent right business in Nebraska
has about held its own during the last
year and In some counties the reports Of
the assessors show that 1t has been de-
veloped. For instance, last year, Adams
county returned two patent rights at a
valuation Of $40, while this year the
number is omitted and the value is fixed
at $40. Brown county jumped from S14
worth to s3O5 worth. Cherry county settlers
have increased their holdings in patent
rights from 500 to Sl71, while Cunning
/ county returns three patent rights against
two last year. Douglas county still stands
at the head of the list in this matter,
having returned this year twenty-seven
at a valuation Of s2l7S each, against
twenty returned last year at a valuation
of S93.55. Dundy and Fillmore each hold
its own compared with last year, the
former returning one patent right at So
and the latter two at Sy6 each. Grant
county gets in with one valued al 500,
while Dodge county comes next in point Of
value returning eleven at a valuation Of
SOL SO each. a great many OF the counties
valued their patent rights at s. each.
OF course the above figures do not refer
TO the actual value Of the patent right,
The figures are the assessed value of one
fifth Of what the patent rights are sup
posed to be.
