To bring the matter to the attention of the board Barney Am drino of this city who took out a li- cense for a year dating from the first of November today filed a demand before the board asking for a refund of S25O which he claims he is entitled to as he is not alawed 10 continue business under the license that was issued Go him. after the first of the year. There are five others who al- SO took out licenses in November and eight in December of this year It seems to be the general opinion that the board win allow a refund or those licenses that were issued be- fore the result of the election on the prohibition amendment was known tut that those who took out the li- conses i'm December would not be en- titled to any refund Should the board take such action in an the licenses. the county will have to re- fund several thousand dollars. The total amount of liquor licenses issued during Che year was over 15O of which number IF were .retail licens- os and the amount of revenue derived hy the county was S40.955. which amount went to the school fund
 There is a rumor to the effect that steps win be taken 70 prevent the board from refunding any of the mon ey paid in on account of the issu- ance oi the licenses, some claiming that the board has no right to refund the money
