New York Has 841 Fewer Saloons.

In Greater New York 841 fewer saloon and hotel licenses have been taken out this year than last on account of- the high license, which has increased the fee from SBOO to $1,200 in Manhattan and the Bronx and from S6QO to S9OO In Brooklyn.* The increase in receipts, measured by the increase in the license fee and the decrease in the number of saloons, is $2,945.087-wer last year—« sum that, does not come up to the expectation of those who favored the g*w excise bill.
