TO RAISE SALOON
LICENSES TO $1,000
Councilman Me diey to Introduce
Ordinance Within the Next
Month.

William H. Medley announced yes
terday that he was preparing an or
dinance to increase the saloon licenses
from $500 to $1,000 a year. The ordi-
nance will be introduced within the
next month, he said.
'The city's present revenue is not
enough to pay our actual running ex-
penses," said Councilman Medley, "and
l have decided that by increasing the
saloon license from 5000 to $1,000 the
revenue will be ample to take care of
the city's demands.
There are fourteen saloons in the
city, and to increase the license to
$1,000, will increase the city revenue
$500 a year, or almost $500 per
month. This will place the city on a
self-sustaining basis
Mr.. Medley said ne had not con-
suited all of his colleagues in the coun-
Gil, but he believes they will support
the measure because it has become
necessary to get more money. "The
salaries of the city officials have been
reduced to almost nothing" said the
councilman, "and we could not help
much if we wiped out the salaries of
