Expressed in cold figures, prohibit
zion for Washington will lose to the
District close to half a million dollars
yearly IN revenue; throw approx
Cnately 1900 men out OF work; leave
close to 800 business properties with
cut tenants, and necessitate the REIN
veStmsnt OF more than 81 ,Ooo, 900 in
other lines Of business.
Despite what might ordinarily
prove alarming facts to the business
community, the new order of affairs
was almost unanimously viewed with
eduanimity todAy-the exceptions be-
ing those who will lose heavily by
the closing of the concerns in which
they have for years made livings and
prodts.
Sl7o,S7O ReVenue Loss.
For the nscaI year ended June 80,
lAst, the District government re-
eeIved In revenues from wholesale
and retail liquor establishments S47o,-
$40 net In revenues. From November

csived have practically been the same,
there having been 269 retail saloons

making . total of $403, 500. and SO
Wholesale establishments, including
brewsries, paying $500 each, or q
total of 81, 200.
District authorities today stated
that the loss Of revenues would not
be felt, inAsmuch as the new in
tangible tax law Is expected to pro-
duce 81 ,00o, 900 additional revenue for

Definite figures were not available

business in the city, but q District
tax official estimated that in real
estate, stocks, fixtures. etc, the total
was close to $1,000. 900. Until within
the last few months about 1,500 men
were engaged in the business. The
attorney for one large brewery con-

the properties as fast as tenants ap-

the demand for homes in Washington
win lead to turning the properties in
