HAWORTH, PAUL HEYMANN, NEAR BEER FOLK 10 PAY UNDER PROTEST State Tax of Two Hundred Dollars to be Paid With Understanding That it Will he Refunded if Law Does Not Stand. j According to a statement from Mr. J- C. C. Black, solicitor of the city court, it is quite probable that some forty or fifty near-beer dealers will pay over S2OO each for license Mon day. The tax has been due since Sep i tember 5, but on account of the test case now pending no enforcement of the law has been made here. Mr. C. E. Dunbar represents the majority of near-beer dealers here, but Friday afternoon Mr. W. J. Croake applied for the first license and paid S2OO over to Ordinary Waiton. The total near-beer tax in Richmond coun ty will hardly reach SIO,OOO, accord ing to the best estimates obtainable. This will enable yll dealers to con tinue operation throughout the re nuiinder of the year and next season council will probably add a similar tax to the business. Solicitor Black and Ordinary Wal ton are getting a iine-up on the situa- I tion and are pretty well prepared to I handle Ihe collection of the taxes. It |is understood that the tax will be I paid under protest and if the final re sult of Ihe case now pending sustains the tax the payment will hold, but in the event it does not stand the amount will be refunded.
