ment finds from experience in its

people are willing and glad to COM
ply with the law which requires
them to eradicate pests and fungus

At this time, the deputy inspec-

at the end of the limit of the no

MUST CONFORM
TO THE new LAW
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY MAC
DONALD SAYS SAL ONS
WILL BE REDUCED
HERE THIS YEAR.

According To the recent ruling of the
supreme court Of the state. the number
/ of saloons i'm almost every village of
Houghton county VIII be reduced in
the spring as the councils will be
! forced to conform to the provisions Of
the Warner Champion law which pro-
vide that the number OF saloons shall
rot exceed a ratio OF one TO every five
hundred inhabitants. providing. howe
ever, that saloons doing business in
May. 1909. may continue. However in
case any saloonists withdraw from the
business and voluntarily surrender
their licenses. no new licenses may be
granted unless the ratio of saloons is
less than one to every five hundred in
habitarts.
Prosecuting Attorney W. J. Mac
Donald has recently returned from
Lansing where he looked up the mean
Ing Of the supreme courts ruling on a
case which arose in Bay county The
court has construed the law TO mean
that If a saloon keeper fails To renew
his license, it constitutes a voluntary
surrender According To this decision
the licenses of all saloon keepers who
started in business since May, 1909, are
void.
The village and township boards will
be asked TO ascertain the number Of
saloons which have legal licenses, and
the cases Of the others will be placed
in the hands Of the sheriff.
Following is a table showing the
population Of the principal towns i'm
Houghton county and the number OF
saloons TO which each is entitled ac-
cording TO the above ratio:
