SALOON LICENSE AT VACAVILLE.
The Board of Trustees Have Raised It to $500 Per Quarter.
VACAVILLE, Aug. 23.—The question of saloon license took a curious turn to-day. When a petition asking that the saloon license be fixed at $500 per quarter was presented recently, it was bitterly opposed by the saloon interest. At the last meeting the Board of Trustees agreed on $100 per quarter. To-day, however, when the board met, a petition was presented, signed by many citizens and every saloon man doing business in town, asking that the license either be reduced to $15 or raised to $500. After considerable discussion the board finally ordered an amendment to the license ordinance to be made by which the license will be fixed at figures which seem satisfactory to everybody—$500 per quarter.
