Five Hundred Baltimore Saloons Closed by License Increase
Baltimore, Md., May 4. Five hundred saloons in the city have been shut down due to the license fee rising from 500 to 750 per year. Many unable to pay are German beer saloon owners in poorer districts. Paul Mang, who ran a saloon for twenty years, is among those affected. City revenue from the new license is estimated to rise by about one million dollars, though further closures could reduce the gain.
