Temperance murder and a plea against licenses in Collins
A long temperance petition from Lodi Temperance Society to Collins Board of Excise urges withholding all liquor licenses for the year. It argues intoxicants cause crime and misery, cites state reports, and criticizes licensed taverns as unsafe, proposing licenses be denied to curb intemperance and its costs.
