Many Cleveland Saloons Close.

Nearly 500 saloons have gone out of business in Cleveland within the last six months, and the revenue of the city from this source has decreased $40,000. The report of the city treasurer to the auditor of state shows that at the beginning of the last half-year there were 1,968 saloons in Cleveland, and that since then 253 have received refunds on their licenses, and that the last half of the license was remitted to 234.
