No licenses will be issued within a mile of a public works camp which is in the city limits nor within four miles if it is located outside the city limits. On sale licenses extend from January 1 to December 31 and off sale licenses extend from July 1 to June 30. All new licenses now purchased will be based on a quarterly basis for the balance of the year. The speakers explained that on sale beer and wine licenses will be increased from $50 to $75 a year and on sale beer licenses only will be decreased from $50 to $25. Wholesalers will be taxed $50 rather than $10.
