Tax Collector Frank H. Ladd announced this morning that liquor licenses had been coming in fast and that 50 licenses had been purchased here for the sale of intoxicating beverages in Monroe County. As of Jan 32 boa-
Two licenses were issued to distributors of liquors, and one license to a distributor of beer and wine. Other licenses to the number of 47 were issued to retail dealers. Of this number there were 13 issued to retail liquor dealers and 34 to vendors of beer and wine.
Distributors of liquor pay a license $350, and of beer and wine, $200. Retail dealers in liquor pay a license of $300, and retail dealers in beer and wine, pay $15.
