business is chiefly to furnish tenants for. Shall
those who impose these burdens upon the
county creep away from ihat stepport of those
burdens which the law righteously imposes on
them? Every person iu this county, especial
ly every tax-payer, has a right to complain of
those who thus virtually thrust lheir hands in
to the county Treasury. To sell without R.
sense, is a fraud upon those who pay license—
a fraud upon all tax-payers—a fraud upon the
county.
Every complaint in proper form against any
person violating the license laws, will be
promptly attended to by the District Attorney.
The following is a proper form of a complaint
for violating the license laws, by retailing iu
quantities less than one quart.
