Ohio Township Local Option Law Provisions

If the majority votes against sale, sales are illegal after 30 days, with fines up to 500 dollars and up to six months imprisonment. Exceptions cover cider and wine from state grapes and medicinal or sacramental uses. Tax refunds on dealer licenses are provided after two years, with possible future tax reallocation. The act takes effect upon passage.

A boardinghouse practice lured emigrants away, with carriers paying the highest commissions. The West Shore reportedly would not meet that rate. a 3 dollar per ticket to St Paul was set, but a rate cut by the Pennsylvania to one dollar led to the end of the immigrant traffic.
