Fifty-Three Counties Limit Saloons To One for One Thousand.

Fifty-three of the ninety-two counties of Indiana have limited their sa? loons to one to each 1,000 of population under the new regulation law, according to the reports gathered by the Association of Indiana Brewers. Twenty-four counties will have a limit of one to 500 inhabitants, some ol them allowing the minimum limitation fixed by the law to go into effect automatically. Many of the cities of the state have also taken advantage of the new law, forty-two of them having fixed their city license fee at SSOO, the maximum under the statute. The city council of Marion, where the saloon fight has been bitter, has passed an ordinance fixing tbe saloon license fee at SSOO and restricting saloon territory to three business districts. The ordinance will go into effect if the courts decide that tba recent local option election was valid.
