LIQUOR REVENUE GOES
SMALL WAYS IN CITY
City Clerk Makes Report showing
what share of Money Returns
60 the Municipality.

The monthly saloon report. made out
YESTERDAY by city Clerk Cassidy, shows
that there are fifty-five saloons in Coun-
ell Bluffs, making one drinking resort for
each community of $3.50 men, women and
children. This leaves the number of sa-
looms we'll within the per capita proportion
defined by the constantly changing saloon
laws OF the state. Each OF these saloons
pays S27l0 into the city treasury every
month. making SS25.20 per year In add
ton to this monthly tax the saloons pay
into the county treasury $500 a year, maxi
ing a total license Of ss252O a year. The
county pays back to the city $500 OF the
amount Il has collected, making the total
sum received by the city S625.e0
This distribution OF revenue Is something
that every city In the state has been fight
ing against in vain in connection with the
liquor laws. The city has to bear all of
the expense of regulating and maintain
ing the saloons, the full responsibility for
whatever effects they exert and the state
and county come forward and exact a big
share OF the license collected without con
tributing one cents worth OF benefit In re-
turn.
