Shenandoah has seven more applications
this year than wero filed last year. The ap
plicants aro divided among tbo wards as fol
lows : First ward 00 ; Second ward. 31 : Third.
64; Fourth, 10; Fifth, 31; total, 189. Last
year tho figures were: First ward, 59; Sec
ond, 31; Third, 50; Fourth, 10; Fifth, 20;
total 182.
It is stated that tko number of remonstran
ces this year will greatly exceed in number
those of last year, but why tho increas arises
has not been learned. The informant was
not in a position to say more than that ho
had reason to believe that there would bo an
increase.
Ono very important fact has been learned
and the Hekald gives it first publication.
The court has instructed tho Clerk of tho
Courts to make out a complete HsK of all
parties holding saloon or hotel licenses
against whom returns havo been made dur
ing the past year for any violation of tho
llcenso laws, regardless of whether or not
the casss have been before tho Grand Jury.
Accompanying this order is tho declara
tion that tho court will not grant a renewal
of a license to any party against whom any
return for violation of tho license law has
been made and the caso has not been passed
upon and disposod ot by the court.
The first publication of the list of license
applicants will be made on tbo 3-lth lust, in
three newspapers designated by tbo court.
On January 12, 1898, all applications by
present Jholders of licenses for old stands
against which no remonstrances have been
filed will bo granted by the court. As to all
cases where remonstrances have been filed,
01 applications for new stands and new appli
cations for old stands a day will be desig
nated by the court for hearings after it grants
the licenses that are, clear on the list:
The time within which remonstrances
must be filed will expire on January 7, 1808.
