No sooner had this order from the
superior court been received when
City Atty Slick obtained an injunc-

circuit court TO restrain the removal
Of the liquor.
The legal battle was carried 10 the

The three men were later convict
ed and sentence was imposed for
violation OF the old Reed amend
ment which prohibited the transpor-

Instructions TO agents and others
concerned covering the removal OF

revenues this year. covers a saving
to passengers of $1S,Ooo.0oo. and

Under the regulations issued by
the company. no tax on pa-ssengsr
and freight transportation furnished
on or after Jan ]. will be charged.
Tickets for transportation in 1922
may be purchased al any time dur
ing the remainder of the present
year without the payment OF any
tax. on tickets furnished for use
prior 70 Jan. /. 1922, however the
present tax must be collected.
In this connection attention is
called TO the fact that since the
