The saloon contingent of BlueGeld

decision OF the county court Saturday
not To grant liquor license tn tie en-.
suing year. and are making prepara-
tions to carry the contention TO the
state supreme court since they be-
lieve that the spirit OF the present
bipartisan charter is to give the city
exclusive jurisdiction i'm the matter
They argue that the provisions OF the
charter are in effect that the board
OF affairs has the exclusive right TO

that the county court mua receive

Although many think that the Ian.

supreme court before there is any.

saloons will probably close ON Iulv

some stated communication TO the
