March Liquor Shipments Total 5,1e1

March Liquor Shipments Total 5,1sf.
Liquor shipments received in Den
yer during March aggregated 5.1S1,
as compared with 2,S6S in February
and s04 in January, according to fig
ures compiled by Deputy W. S. Lail
of the county clerk and recorders Of
flee The shipments averaged in
Yalue about $40, or a 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. l, have been gradually
diminishing. As the prohibition law
requires a ascent fee be paid for
every liquor shipment received, the
total fees collected in Denver last
month amounted to s1,296.50. Half
of this amount is retained by the
county and the other half goes to the
state. Complete figures for Febru-
airy, however, show that 1885 ship
ments were received in the state dur
ing that month on which $2,333.75 in
fees were paid. The shipments into
the entire state during January
amounted to $500.
