Not More Than One Saloon to A Thousand People in Jasper.

The Jasper county commissioners have placed the restriction of one saloon to a thousand people in Jasper county. So, even if saloons are reinstated in some townships there can be only one saloon except in the city of Rensselaer, where there could be two. > The city council of Rensselaer and the town board of Remington and Wheatfield will have to place the license cost within thirty days after tu; governor signed the bill if they will place it high enough to total S7OO, including state and county tax. There are men who would pay $2,000 to have the right to run one saloon in Rensselaer. The Proctor law makes this sort of boodling easy.
