Providing for stricter enforce ment, local option in incorporated cities and raises in the license fees and the excise tax. the new regula- tions of the Territorial Board of Liquor Control were made public teddy, effective as of April with present licenses in effect until their expiration.
 Carrying out the provisions of the new Territorial statute passed by the recent Legislature and in conformity with the Federal law, the Board drew up it's rules and regulations along the same lines as the present system, leaving up to the cities the question of where liquor may be sold, control and closing hours.
 LocaI Option
 In providing for local option the Board regulations require that 50 per cent of the total number of voters at the last general election must petition before the Board will cause the question to be placed on the ballot at the next municipal election. At the election on the question two thirds of the votes are required to bar liquor from within a city.
 The excise tax was boosted from 2hs percent of the invoice value or purchase price of liquor to five percent and refunds to cities from revenue was raised from 50 to 60 percent. If the cities fail to enforce the regulations refunds will be forfeited and the money de- posted by the Board in the Ter ritorial Treasury. At the same time the Board will take charge of en- forcement in those places.
 Licenses by Board
 All licenses will be issued by the Board and applications for licenses will be held 30 days with notice of application published. Protests will be considered at the time action is taken. Incorporated cities are re- quired to pass upon each applica- ton through their city councils and the cities are charged with the of the laws and regu- lations within their limits. United States Marshals are charged with enforcement both inside and out side cities. License officers, which were provided for in the recent law passed by the Legislature, will have the duty of assisting in enforce ment throughout the Territory and also see that municipalities enforce the statute and make reports on conditions to the Board.
