Fogli for licenses to conduct saloons in Lincoln township were rejected on the ground Jhat the applications were made prior to the expiration of the two year limit for which the entire county was voted dry, and for the further reason the Lincoln township does not contain 1,000 population and the granting of a license w'ould be contrary to the April order of the board, fixing the ratio of one saloon for each 1,000 population.
