Although the population of this county has increased during the last year the number of liquor licenses has decreased .by 14 during" the same peri od. This information was gleaned from the report of the -county com missioners issued today by Secretary Simeon Peaae. The report shows that there are eight less retail and six less beer licenses. The licenses granted during the fiscal year ending Septem ber 30 laslv were: Wholesale, 22; re tall. 607; beer, 28; drug, 118. The receipts of the county during the year amounted to $284,561.14, There was a decrease in receipts In comparison with 1912. due to the fact that the county tax was one fifteenth of one mill instead of one-tenth. It was figured' that the average cost of maintaining one prisoner one ween: at the county jail was $3.65, in com parison with $2.92 for $1912. Thts Is due in part to the greater number of prisoners and also to the increased cost of living. The county auditors inspected the books and approved everything. They also found. that IB county bonds,, worth $1,000 each; had beeii properly, cancelled and burned. The amount of money distributee to the different towns and cities from the license funds was as follows: Bridgeport, $138,157.30; Stamford, $32,639.98; Newtown, $2,07 0 ; Hunting ton, $5,400;. Fairfield, $4,264.25; Ne Canaan, $2,610; Darien, $1,881 ; "West port, $3,735"; Brookfleld, $270; Strat ford, $4,556.25; Bethel, $21,60; Dan bury, $21,330; Greenwich, $14,205.15.
