License Question to Face Spring Election
The coming spring election will include a decision on whether Washburn should grant saloon licenses next year. A petition is circulating to secure the necessary signers and will be filed with the city clerk once complete. Backing the effort is the Scandinavian Good Templar lodge which plans active campaigning to end saloon licenses. While a clear victory for no license is unlikely some expect a very close vote.
