Law and Order League Campaign Aims to Raise Saloon Licenses
The Law and Order League plans a campaign to raise saloon licenses from 500 to 1000 dollars a year, with the village board split on the measure. Supporters argue higher fees fund schools and city improvements, while noting a growing local saloon revenue and a large floating population near Sidney. The plan includes options to funnel part of the fund to schools and city projects.
