Oakland’s High Liquor License

By Editor

An effort is now being made in Oakland to secure what is called "high" license. The present liquor license is twenty-five dollars a quarter, or one hundred dollars a year. It is proposed to double this, making a license to sell liquor cost each saloon-keeper two hundred dollars a year. We are sorry to say that several clergymen of the city are the chief movers in this weak compromise with crime.
