5000 City Saloons to Go
Out Of Existence Saturday
'hort'Ierm Certificates Issued by State Expire
at Midnight and Law Requires That Even
Signs and Fixtures Must Be ssDrv'' on All Sides

More than 5000 saloons in the
greater city will cease to exist at mid
night next Saturday. These are the
dle-hards of General John Barleycorn's
faithful brigade. They have stuck to
the finish. But the finish, the final,
lnexorable finish, comes on Saturday.
On that date the short term certificates
issued to the survivors in October last
by the State Excise Department in
lieu of licenses will expire. There is
no provision for any further licensing,
save to drug stores.
If there remains any CLINT of silver
linlng in the cloud Of gloom which en-
shrouds the business Of being saloon
Keeper it is the fact that at present
there is apparently nothing to require
the licensing of esta blishments which
sell soft drinks and near beer, if beer
which complies with the Volstead def
milton can be properly described as
even approximate. Until there is fur
tner Legislation defining what is and
what is not "liquor" under the state
excise law or until the courts have de-
cided whether near beer comes into
that category or is outside the pale
there is no provision for further
licensing.
BY reason of the Federal enactment
such ex-saloons as elect to keep their
swinging doors swinging must take
down all signs and tokens which might
indicate that their business in life was
the purveying of alcoholic liquors. But
there Is no law which will prevent
them stocking up with soft drinks and

brown liquids which look like, but are
not, beer, and for the sale of these
there is, at least at present, no license
required. This is according to state
ment made yesterday by Excise Com
missioner Ssson at Albany. Later,
Commissioner Sisson indicated. legal
action might decide whether the sale
OF near beers required license under
the existing state regulations, but for
the present there is clear field.
There are 1869 licensed saloons and
hotels in Manhattan, according to the
local excise Office. In October last 1888
short-term certificates were issued by
the state authorities to saloon keepers
VINO were anxious to hang on to the
last gasp. OF these 1863 have since been
turned in and rebates secured on the
unexpircd terms. There were also 2O9
licenses issued in October under the
provision which permits the sale of
liquor for consumption off the premises
only. OF these wine shops fourteen
turned in their certificates. The rest
have stayed the limit.
1t is not generally known that drug
stores which stock liquor to be issued
on prescription are required to take
out a state license, the local excise off
GERS said Yesterday There has been a
notable increase in the number of these
licenses issued in the last few weeks
and now there are 259 drug stores in
Manhattan which have been granted the
necessary permits, according to the ex-
else figures. Of these more than 100
have been taken out within the last
week or ten days, an indication that
the increase in influenza cases~will have
a corresponding effect on the number
of whisky prescriptions issued.
