The liquor interests of Gallup, cur.

tirely controlled by State Senator
Gregory Page. are putting up a vigor.
out fight against what they regard as
an attempt by the town board of
trustees to put the lid on the booze
trade in the Carbon City by raising
the license to a %prohibitive figure, and
the matter is to be threshed out be-
fore the supreme court. District
Judge M. c. Mechem, of Socorro. sit
ting for Judge E. C. Abbott in the To-
cal court, today upheld the right of
the town board to raise the retail
license, and heard the complaint Of
the wholesalers.
The case of John Schwartz, ct AL,
versus the town Of Gallup. was on an
injunction which the retail dealers
had secured to restrain the town
board from collecting the sum Of ST.
500 annually In .license.f to which
amount the license had been raised
from $500. Judge Mechem ruled that
the town board has the right to raise
the amount of the license. The con-
tention of the retail liquor dealers was
that the $500 license is ~prohibitiye,
and that they could not operate under
it. An appeal has been taken from
the decision of this court. The courts
order provides that, pending the de-
cision on appeal the dealers must pay
into the town treasury the sum Of
$500, which wal the old amount Of
license, and pay into the exchequer
OF the court the sum of $1,000. which
is the difference between the old and
new licenses. The effect Of this or
der is to fix a supersede as bond in
the sum Of $1,000. Col. e. w. Dobson,
of Albuquerque. represented Schwartz.
while Hannett and diversion. of Gal
lup, represented the town Of Gallup.
The case of John Stalick and Greg
DRY Page versus the town OF Gallup.
concerned only the wholesale liquor
dealers. The town board raised the
wholesale liquor license from $500 to.
$4,000. which the dealers hold to be
prohibitive. The court took this case
under advisement and will reserve
decision until tomorrow.
