"BooZE" PERMITS

During the past six months there
were but 351 booze permits issued in
the county. Considering the popula-
tion the number of permits is small.
The Ordway new era., 1918-01-04

During the season just closed the
National Sugar Manufacturing COM
pany paid out the following;
To farmers for beets----S275.O 100000
Factory labor --------- G5 10000
Factory supplies ------- 125 100000
Beet dump maintenance 100000
Freight paid ---------- Io,OOO.Vo
Farm operations ------- $50 100000
The amount of money paid out to-
tails quite large sum. yet 1t was the
smallest amount paid during any sea-
son for a number of years, and it is
likely that the money expenditures
by this company for next season will
run three times this sum. The busi-
ness of this industry is big thing for
the county. 1t provides labor for
large number of men at season
when work is not so plentiful as it
is during the summer months. 1t
has a big investment in taxable prop
erty which is annually increasing in
proportions and without the taxes
paid by the National the average tax
payer would feel the change. and it
provides a market for a crop which
otherwise could not be raised here
at all.
