March Liquor Shipments Total s.,s1.

March Liquor Shipments Total 5,1s1.
Liquor shipments received in Den
yer during March aggregated 5,1S1,
as compared with 2,SGS in February
and S04 in January, according to fig
ures compiled by Deputy w. s. Laii
of the county clerk and recorders Of
flee. The shipments averaged in
value about $40, or total of $51 $40.
The increase from month to month is
due, in the opinion of county officials
to the fact that liquor supplies pur-
chased Just before Colorado went
dry on Jan. 1, have been gradually
diminishing. AS the prohibition law
requires 25-cent fee be paid for
every liquor shipment received, the
total fees collected in Denver last
month amounted to s1,296.50. Hall
of this amount is retained by the
county and the other half goes to the
state. Complete figures for Febru-
ary, however. show that 9.335 ship
ments were received in the state dur
ing that month on which S2,333.G5 in
fees were paid. The shipments into
the entire state during January
amounted to $500.

CAN'T REFER CIVIL SERVICE
Commission Declares Merit Decision
Will Not Result In Wide
Shakeup,

Denver-A statement was issued
by the civil service service commits
sion that no wholesale removal OF
state employees is to follow the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in hold
ing that the new civil service Law
cannot be referred, thereby legally
declaring it in operation.
The assurance of the commission
quieted the fears of many jobholders
in the state service who had been
anticipating the fall of the official
ak, but it did not dispel them. The
reason for this is that it became
known at the same time that the
commission has a list of no less than
200 names of persons who, it II
claimed, never were properly certi-
fled under the old law and therefore
are subject to removal at any time
and without the formality of citing
cause. The new law abolished ali
eligible lists
The new law removes from civil
service the warden of the penitenti-
ary, the warden of the reformatory
and the heads of all other institu-
tons. This fact was responsible for
discussion as to the possibility of a
new appointment being made to SUP
plant Warden lyman.
