FEWER LICENSES
"ISSUED IN, 1913
Despite Increase in County's
Population There Are Less
Saloons Report of
County Com m is
' . - sioners.
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.
