partment conferred with City Solici-
tor Daniel o. Hastings and Messrs

yerting of water from the Brandywin'

per and at the conference last night
City Solicitor Hastings repeated his
statement made to Council some time
ago that the Street and Sewer Depart
ment had no right to deed the water
rights to any one. This is what the

NO increase YET
IN Price OF beer
Brewers Have Made No
Decision Since Greater
Tax is Imposed
SOME FEAR OF SMALLER
GLASSES FOR NICKEL

That there may be smaller glasses Of
beer sold for nickel was fear ex-
pressed in some downtown saloons this
morning The danger of reduced glasses
is declared TO be imminent by reason
OF an additional tax OF . cents per bar
rel on beer under the Democratic "War
Revenue Bill"
The wholesale price OF beer has not
been advanced by brewers in this city
and the brewers have not decided on
their course. The tax increase brings
the amount paid by brewers ON every
keg OF beer 20 $3.50 and something
probably will have to be done to Offset
the advance. Should saloonkeepers have
to pay more for beer they may have to
make up their loss by shortening the
quantity sold for cents or increase the
price.
Il do not know what We shall do
We may advance prices and then we
may not" said John C. Hartmann
president and general manager of the
Fl. and f. Brewing Company. 1--WE
have not increased prices up to this
time. During the Spanish-American
war the war tax was paid by both
wholesale and retail dealers. eacf
paying half do not know whai
course we will pursue in this emer-
gency."
At the Bavarian and JOSEPH

that prices have not been increased

from the office Of Collector Miles il

Beginning with today tax accrued
