“ Dry” Viotory in Beaxer County,
Prohibition forces of Beaver ¢ounty
won a decided victory last week when
Judge George A. Baldwin, In a sweep-
decigion refused forty-one out of forty
seven applicants for liquor license.
The entire county will be dry except
for four retail houses in Woodlawn
sud two in Aliquippa. The decieion
makes a net reduction of eleven saloons
in the county.
In banding down his decision Judge
Baldwin eald: “The country has
been experiencing a wave of prohibi-
tion recently and from the sentiment
displayed the vast msjority of persons
do not favor the licensing of liquor
in thelr community, I have taken
this into consideration in handing
down the list in the coming year,”
