Amendment sets Hic License fees by class and city
The state senate approved an amendment to the Hic License bill last week. It distinguishes whiskey from beer and wine and fixes annual fees: $200 in first to third class cities, $150 in other cities, $100 in boroughs, and $50 in townships. Proponents say higher fees will close grog shops and reduce drunkenness, though prohibitionists oppose the bill.
