MAY INCREASE COST OF LICENSE Liquor Dealers in Lynchburg Likely to Pay $2,500 for Privilege. [Special to The Times-Dispatch.! Lynchburg, V'u., March 7.?The Coun? cil Committee on Finance will meet to? morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, and dur? ing that meeting, which will he the reg? ular monthly session. I hi' question oi llipior licenses lor /the coming yeut wilt come up for..conalderatldili The present license, or, rather, tho charge made heforc tho saloons closed ? Ii .March, 1009, was $ I .r.on.- and this has. he oh retained in the tux ordinance since tho closing of the saloons; but it is believed that this will be Increased. Indeed, a member of the committee to? day made the statement that the liceUsqs for retailing liquor would probably be put at $2,500, in order to limit the number of places to about twenty, a license of 52,500 would, it is thought, accomplish this. The impression prevails that the committee will recommend to the Com? mon Council Thursday-night that tho cost of the license be increased, and It would not be at all surprising to see thl., either coupled with or followed by an effort to require all saloons to do busineaa without screens.'1, Since Judge Christian disposed of the contest the air has been full of ru? mor. . ?; to who will get. licenses and in what portions of the city they will he granted. Some of these reports even quote Judge Christian as saying that he will limit the number of saloons to twenty and that all of them will b< < online'! to Main. Ninth and Twelfth Streets. As far as Is known, there I? no foundation for such reports, for l>id?e Christian will make no statement until the applications for licenses aro brought before him In the Corporation Court. It Is leculloj, however, that Judge Christian stated from the bench in 130S, when tin.- licenses for that year were granted, that he would grant no inoro new licenses on Fifth Street, and that If any of the licenses then being grant ' tl were ever allowed to lapse, that no other:; would be given in their places. It ts not known what Judge Christian1 will do witlt respect to the granting of licenses on Fifth Street, but it is hard? ly probable tha.1 he Wohld hohl the two di e years" against the former dealers who did business on that street, but It is not probable that the licenses will be ^tven to any other dealers in that part of the City. It 's. generally believed that the sa? loons will be con lined to the same ter- i rltory they were in before the city voted dry. but it would not be surpris? ing if th.is is not contracted some when all of the licenses shall have been granted. Under the Ryrd law It will be Impos? sible for the dealers to get their licenses until ?some time <n April, for , they must post notices of the fact that 1 they intend to apply for licenses fori et least thirty days" before, the afrpb c Alton is made. It was thought some time ago that only ten days' notice was required by law, but this is a mistake, for the notice must be for thirty days. it now seems quite certain that all Is the Tuberculosis Crusade Losing Ground?
