The several food inspectors who have
been  working throughout the state
the past four months, held conference
in Lansing last week, preparing another bulletin and comparing notes on,the'
work -thus far accomplished.   They all
report the law as working satisfactorily, and while too complicated to get
the best results,, it cannot help but be-
of inestimable benefit to!consumers,
Preliminary steps havile been taken,
to bring about a repeal of the local op-:
tion law in Antrim county. It is* expected that the supervisors will meet-
and call a special election* some time-
in March. Revenue officers admifc>
that at present there are 16 government licenses issued to liquor dealers-
in the county,' which is more than waB*
ever issued under the.license lav/. So-*
far as known, the keepers of all these
hop-pop joints will fight a repeal- ol
the present local option law* but the
better element in the county will
favor repeal, as a trial of nearly two
years has demonstrated that so far aa
Antrim county is concerned local option means simply free whiskeys
Waller, the exclusive dealer in fine
footwear, is going out of business-
He has several thousand dollars'worth
of goods which he is selling regardless
of cost.
