Ior the sale of spirituous LIQUORS and
Sl'O for the same period for the
sale OF beer. Under these figures ten
saloons were in operation in Grants
Pass at the time the anti-saloon law
went into effect.
Previous to the appointment of
the committee, there was consider
able discussion of a more or less
Iacetlous nature upon the ali-aosoru-
ing topic, the mayor precipitating it
when he inquired what restrictions
the council thought should be
thrown about the granting of Ii
censes. Mr., Clark believed that all
comers should be accommodated. and
any one with the price given The
privilege of dispensing booze. DAN
iels feared OVERRIDING the thing. and
remarked that if too many came in
some of them might be going
broke to the discredit of the COM
mercial life OF the sity. Here End
man Caldwell came in strong with
bones and cymbal accompaniment.
and reminded the contenders that It
had been promised that with the ad-
vent of booze prosperity would come
in great chunks, and no one would
go broke again. With this the scene
was shifted to the committee named
above, but not till the mayor asked
if any Of the councilmen wanted ,he
committee to place a limit on the
price of beer.
Attorney Colvig explained that the
local option law would go into eff
feet as soon as the county board had
canvassed the count of the ballots
and had made its order concerning
the same, and that the order must be
made within ten days after the Off
cial canvass This official canvass
is to be made next Monday and the
county court will meet the following
Monday SO that Thursday, Novem-
Der 21st is positively the date of the
last Savage Rapids excursion for the
season of 1912.
